Player Features and Ideas Discussion

You can quickly lose some nice bunch of ISK by mistyping a number on the market interface.

There is already a feature to protect against it, if the price is 100% higher than the average, it warns you. However it doesn't always work, because some items doesn't have an established value or someone manipulated it (therefore the normal price is already at 60000%). Also it doesn't protect from Typing in 190M instead of 160M.

We can assume that buy orders are smaller than sell orders. It doesn't make sense to set up a buy order for 190M when a sell order is available at 180M on that very station. Nor it makes sense to set up a sell order for 160M when buy order is available for 170M. There are exceptions, typically when you buy in bulk and want to scoop up 10 sell orders by setting up a buy.

So, my suggestion is that whenever one creates or modifies to a sell order that is below an available buy, or a buy order above an available sell, a confirmation box should pop up "You try to sell XXX for 160.000.000 while someone would pay 170.000.000 for it. Are you sure to proceed?"

Don't be careless.

There's a saying in construction - measure twice, cut once. In market trading, read twice, submit once.

Actions have consequences.

Then remove the keyboard shortcuts too and let pilots click on those little green icons for overheat...

It's a spaceship game, not a typist game

Have you actually read the opening post?

I did not "ignore" the first box, I purposefully clicked trough it because it said "you are selling for 60000%". If I typed the correct number, it would still pop up saying "you are selling for 6000%". The suggestion could have been "CCP please fix the first confirmation box", but it wouldn't be too helpful. Also several times you want to sell out of the old average (like FW T5 sellouts). But you never want to sell lower than an available buy order.

I would remove the .01 isks from the game, that would help typing numbers too.

Tab? What for?

Yes, Tab helps, also, ctrl-c "000000" and just ctrl-v it when you mean million helps. But why can't the UI be straightforward letting us focus on the action itself and not its implementation. Just like the question in PvP is when to overheat and not how to click that little green icon, the question in market is what price to use and not how to type it in.

dont be so damn hasty next time?

Wait, isn´t doesn´t you already have to windows open when you buy or sell something, one is the region-market the other is the sell window. You have to check both before selling/buying, otherwise it is more or less your own fault.
