I'm sorry for the awfully slow response to this thread.
We're always open to improving the AI. Obviously, some time has passed since you posted this issue, and the 1.0.2 patch has since been released as well.
Have you seen any improvements in the trade AI in 1.0.2? If you're still seeing poor trade AI, could you please post specific examples of trades or offers, and how you think an intelligent AI should have behaved.
Please let me know!
Thanks,
Steve
