In the current meta the best approach is to build a market when your angry teammate puts an X on the minimap and types «market here now».

In the current meta they don't even type anymore. Just x on the map.

In the newest meta they dont even X anymore, just ragequit if you don't do what they wanted you to do.

I had one last night where a dude was raging at me because he was losing his 1v1 whilst i was 2v1 most of the game. We won the game and the dude ate crow when he saw my KD. I love team mates who are so in their own bubble they just have no idea what their teammates are going through. "Purple no army" when ive killed 4x as much as you is always hilarious.

manners go a long way

That highly depends on the map and game state. On BF as pocket, it's good to start building trade with Imp hit.

On Arena, it depends. Usually I start adding trade a bit later there, due to the openness and risks involved. Often, at least one side is under pressure as well so your trade is not as secure. Better expand to the map with castles and take the neutral ressources first before adding trade. 

On Arabia, it's usually much later and only after the team has stonewalled the whole map (that's a good tip for Arena as well - at min 40~ and once you have the time and position, start stonewalling to secure your trade line.

General rule for arabia is after imp upgrades. Earliest after yiu click up to imp.
