Fair Offer Decider

Hi! I think that there should be a place in Ark where you can enter a trade and it will say if it is a fair deal, like if I said that someone offered a Icenryo for my Prath, it would say, 'That is not a fair trade. An Icenryo is not worth around the same area as a Prath.' Now, that would be common sense, but the place would work for trickier situations. We could get more complicated and say the stage and level of the creature as well as how many feeds, clicks and views. Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading!

@izziebee1017 The problem with this is that value is almost completely arbitrary and can vary wildly from person to person and even vary with the time of year. Where one person wouldn't value a certain creature very much, a collector of that species would value it highly. Holiday creatures also get a spike in value as their holiday draws near. And sometimes a fad starts up and the popularity of a certain creature can soar, only to crash again a week or two later.

There would be no way to code or implement such a page. The best thing that people can do is ask on the forums and use their own judgement.
