That is a choice for every guild to make. Some guilds have adopted 2 for 1, others use a trade calculator that attempts to better equalize the costs of production. There is nothing intrinsically fair or unfair about that ratio. If my entire guild has agreed on 2 for 1 across a single age, it means I have no reason to hold out for a better deal, and no reason to try and profit by offering a less favorable deal. The reason for standing trade ratios is not to promote "fair" trade, but rather orderly trade. That could be 10 dye for 5 plankton, or it could be 10 dye for 10 plankton, or it could be 5 dye for 10 plankton. "Fair" is what a willing offeror and a willing buyer are willing to accept. The fact that you reference a "fair trade calculator" and that you belong to a "fair trade guild" doesn't alter that basic reality. The real issue with your proposal is that it rests on a fundamentally flawed premise, namely that there is some objectively "fair" ratio for trading.
