F**k yeah!

Actually, its the other way around. Adjusting orders was very easy for market bots already, who don't gain any additional, useful stuff that i could see.

With the change, it would be more easy to do for us humans though.

Yes, and easier for bots as well. Less comparison needed to figure out whether or not the bot has been outbid.
I might just be overreacting and crying wolf, though. But the fact that it will make it easier to make market-bots has been one of the main arguments against this, whenever it has been brought up (on MD, anyway).

Anyways, I've just remembered another UI thing that I'd like changed: The fact that my wallet's "transactions" tab blinks when I set up a new order. Could this please be changed? In fact, I'd love it if there were a bunch of other blink-options available, but I can only think of that one right now. :P

Wow, okay, I can't provide an example because the system won't allow HTML. Joy.

Anyhow! This is easily reproducible. I've noticed that when mails are sent from EVE Gate and opened in game, certain special characters (such as the apostrophe, or ') are replaced by their HTML counterparts. While it's pretty easy to parse the message as it was intended, it is also quite annoying. Could something maybe be done about this?

Ahh, my bad, too many posts in here to have gone finding just that one.

Even better, if they also identified the thread?

Maybe I'm missing something, but how would highlighting a given player's market orders for that player alone increase botting activity? The only thing this change would do is make it easier for a player (who doesn't have the ability to compare data like a machine) to spot their own orders in a large group without having to make visual comparisons between the wallet and market.

Feedback from Fanfest UI Roundtable. You asked for it, you're getting some

NB: I was the person who asked the very first question at the roundtable, regarding usability issues in the UI for the colorblind


I mentioned that the change to the color scheme for routes in 'set destination' was a help, though I still can't quite distinguish the 0.5 to low sec border by color. There I hover over to see if there are any lowsec systems. Someone else mentioned the possibility of using pattern or shapes to distinguish rather than color, and perhaps that could be used in the route. Something like vertical lines for high sec, diagonal lines for lowsec, horizontal lines for nullsec. For many years scientific journals would not allow the use of color in graphs because they didn't want the additional cost of color printing the journals. They used patterns like that for bar graphs and occasional pie chart

Corp member vs. war target in local listing: My colorblindness is of the red/green variety, and I really can't readily tell the difference between the symbols for a corp member vs. a war target in the local listing, because the only difference is that one is green, the other is red. I might not immediately recognize a new corp member's name, and ironically, I can shoot both a war target and a fellow corp member in high sec without invoking CONCORD. If the symbol for a war target were something other than a star, it would really help

Something that has nothing to do with color: If I am zoomed out in terms of what is being displayed in space, and I move my mouse pointer from somewhere on the lower left, like for a chat window or the module interface, to the right side, where I typically have my overview, it can pass over a section of the screen where there are many objects stacked in roughly the same spot. The exploded listing of those items pops up, and stays there, sometimes spanning from the top of the screen to the bottom, and occluding other, more important information. I have to click somewhere to get rid of it. How about if the exploded listing was only there while the mouse pointer was over the spot where the stacked items were located? That way I am indicating what I want to see, for as long as I want to see it

Thank

P.S. I would love to see that video one more time, at least played a little more slowly so that I could see all

Wow, ad Hitlerum already?

I never said they shouldn't add it because it can be used for botting, I said it could possibly make it easier to make bots, which could in turn increase the amount of bots in use.

You even say so yourself:


And because of that, I ask that they consider how they do it (and that they keep in mind, that it will possibly make it easier to create and use bots) - not that they consider whether or not they should do it.
