The current warning pegs all buy orders and sell orders to the region average price [or, some such index]. That's great when entering a simply buy/sell request.

However, totally misplaced when we're trying to enter an advanced market sell order or advanced market buy order. Would greatly appreciate an option to have the entered buy/sell price validated against the appropriate 'best price' currently available in that region.

For example, assume an item has a region average of $10,000, current best buy order is $1,100, current best sell order is $21,000. If I want to sell an item, I'm most likely going to want to list it in the range of a little below $21,000. So, my warning message would be more reliable if it showed %delta from current best price in region instead of that phantom region average of $10,000 [which is so easily manipulated by bogus sells to inflate averages].

Same for buy orders, if highest buy order is $1,100 in system, I'm most likely to be entering a buy order slightly higher than that $1,100 and my decision about buy prices have very little relationship to that region average.

So, when choosing the advanced option you want someone to hold your hand?

How about all players get 100 mil isk per day per account - I mean, it would make people much more willing to play and/or PVP. Right?
