It really isn't that sinister - it's just a way to ensure that high-level players can take any trade within the guild on the assurance that these goods can then be exchanged back for any other goods within the guild on the same scale of values, and everything will even out.My calculation is done for the guilds who what to develop a good relationships inside. As for now 1:2 system simply use inexperienced players from lower ages as a tool for advanced players to get profit. Which is fine with me, but it's far away from the term "fair".
If anything, it helps encourage people to be unselfish in taking trades when they don't especially need the goods on offer but just want to help...
