Market Discussions

Ability to select multiple items in the market window and quick list, and either Add to quick list, or remove.

Ability to add to quick list from more locations, like in the buy orders...

Save market settings to account, or make it easier to export/import.

More on topic..

A lot of features and wishes are always being discussed in MD, and most of these ideas are ofc of epic proportions..

I think it would be useful if we could agree to list some of our wishlists a bit more in degrees of simplicity and need versus nice to have..

The flip of public versus private is imho extremely important. From an economic perspective it makes no sense that you can make huge amount of contracts internally to corp mates, but a small number of public deals. That is detrimental to economic behaviour, since it promotes internalizing and not outsourcing and "pvp" elements.

A similar upside down world issue is the limit number on buy orders, but not a limitation on sales. That is again very much counter intuitive and flips the concept of bulk sales totally on its head. If I want to sell all my TRT at a low discount price, I DONT want it sold in small trickles of 100 units at the time..

Boosting orders and contracts.

There are many reasons for wanting more order, the main one would be better options to seed more items outside hubs. Another would be improving the casual aspect of couriers/shipping, since it would be possible to pick up more minor ad hoc couriers. The difference beeing equivalent to comparing fedex versus Maersk Shipping. The size might be very different, but the function is the same.

Boosting normal contracts might make it easier to generate a "Storefront" oriented business. There are many extremely serious businesses running in EVE already, but they lack some very basic tools and removals of limitations in order to really expand.

Player to player BILLS.

For a whole range of reasons we need the ability to bill players and player corps. This mainly to get around the current need for hands on contact for all payment purposes. With a few added details, like visual history of payments and outstanding payments, we could get a rather huge range of player created features and services, without the need for huge and advanced mechanics. A small example would be asking members of a corp or alliance for payment, and if payments arent done the fact would show and warrent expelling the members. This currently needs to be done with a lot of outgame programs and management, it would be simple to implement with a billing system.

Multiple items in sales and buy order creation.

A screen UI where you could manage a range of items for selling or buying at the same time. Where it would show things like high and lows and averages, and maybe even your last sell and buy price. A UI upgrade like this would be well suited with an upgrade to the contracts UI. Thus ending up with 4 distinct and different UI functions in the same general menu.

Couriers: UI
Boost ability to sort according to jumps, isk per m3, issuer and standing filters working as limit from both issuer and courier.

Contracts (Buy and Sell): UI
Implement ability to limit via standing, and create better options to link to issuers full list of contracts, preferably through some integration with EVE-gate, and thus making the formating options the ad hoc solution for store fronts. Including ability to have "moderated" images uploaded in an eve-gate drive. 50mb per account, upgradable using plex.

Auction Contracts: UI
Make these visible outside the game client, and let bids come from EVE-gate login gameplay. Also make this easy to search and export to make bulk and auction based statistics possible. This especially to work as a bulk commodities and potential shares/stock exchange, in the future. CCP can ofc do some of this statistics work, but might just let players loose on it first, and do some of the beta-testing and external development.

Market UI:
Being able to select and drag and drop multiple items to a sales or buy menu, would really be useful. Especially to non market people also, since they could get easier visuals on what items are sold at currently good prices. So say you had todays average, 5 days average, and 20 days average option set in one column each. This would really make some huge changes, while being "fairly" simple to implement. (Yes the impact might be frustrating, but the end result would be good for everyone, when people good used to the more effective and less "abusive" pricing)

Isk sink for getting notifications.

When orders conclude it would be nice to be able to have them set with a recieve warning. I would suggest this service would add something like 25% extra on the broker fees.

Price warnings:
When setting an order adding a price warning range would also be useful for making an isk sink and granting players the intel on when they are loosing their markets.

The warning services should not be available on minute basis, but preferably after downtime. So it would only be on long term positions and not some human-bot feature, that would kill the hamsters.

Make 3 months positions fixed and unable to be cancelled or modified. Make these fixed orders not count on skills orders and not use margin trading boost. This way more long positions would enter the game and more liquidity would be available and more passive assets could reenter the game.

NEUTRALITY: GET THE SCC BACK
The current flawed Caldari faction dominance in markets, arose from ccp nerfing the highways and shifting the old Yulai and scc hub. We need the ingame rp to catch up. In short SCC needs to have at least one station in each faction tradehub system, and their standing grind should be similar to concord and be derrived from non aggression activity, distribution, and similar missions. In short we need a neutral entity that even the playing field. It is fine that factions gain benefits, all the current grinded Caldari standing still benefits in Jita, but there should be a neutral body, so you dont need to grind factions you dont want or cant.

Just a few thoughts.

I did some more figuring, being back in the corporate management. CCP needs to encourage traders to work for corporations, like make it worth their while. No trader wants to trade with a corporations ISK, corporation making profit, which takes their personal number of slots that they can use and make less themselves. They do need to make corporation orders not take up personal orders. That is for a start. They will need to improve the trader role in the corporation. There is no limit on what items can be bought or sold for according to percent of average value to reduce scamming.

The role of moderators is CCP, but the idea of giving people access to edit your own posts for something like this might help it if one were to disappear for a longer period of time. This will still allow those to express their mind but also allows a few trusted posters to take over the OP posts to keep it moving possible.

Bad News!

I just got a mail from Xaqa saying that he is quitting Eve Online. He does put in "for now" at the end of it. I want to keep this forum going and hope CCP recognizes our wishlist. I want to hear ideas on what we should do now.

"Option to disable auto-refresh of the market order window"

"Make it possible to adjust an order within the market window"

This is available at this moment, can be removed from the list.

Chrz,

Is this necro'd or continued?

I would like to see Standard Deviation as well as the daily averages. Daily median would be nice as well. Give me those two and I'll be happy for at least a mo... da... week. A WHOLE WEEK.
