simple to say, the woods useable already in same degree as other resources.
so no need devs to take care this since they already did good on system.
why woods price low? why woods need low?
because old players did lower the price value. why that happened? woods uses more on 'economy' matter than 'military' matter, where most of old players who active are military uses priority.
newcomers hold this matter too. since most of newcomers will increase military matter, they pile up woods without they realized it.
