This point has been brought up a number of times. It would be a nice addition. I can imagine, however, that automatically compiling and matching multiple market orders from different sellers could put some strain on the servers.

Dust uses such a feature really well.


If that is really the only issue, then batch the process. Spread the execution of the different buys out over a minute or two, run one order every 5 seconds (which is about as fast as a human clicking as fast as they can). That would not be hard at all, and would allow the player to talk to corp mates or do something else without mindlessly clicking over and over.

Heck, CCP could probably even add a broker fee to make it more costly than buying by hand and people would still use the feature.

And it would be that exact situation where this could easily bite you in the butt.

While this feature would be nice, and I would support it implementation, it could (and will be used) to catch far more people out in market manipulations than we currently see in game.

People currently click on over priced (sometimes WAY over priced) goods every day as it is... this will make it far more likely you'll get in a hurry and blow a wad of cash you didn't intent too... especially in the above situation where you are in combat looking for a quick refit to get back into the action.

Not that this is a bad thing, just keep in mind that you'll likely get stung by it at some point in time.

Be careful what you wish for... and all that.

That's why showing a quote and preferably the ability to uncheck items is key... This way it won't be an easy scam but rather a "got scammed? You should've taken a closer look on the quote"-scam just like it is with contracts

yes please
gets very annoying when you have go through 15 items in the market just to buy a 3M fit for a frigate.


Solution: Buy 5 times more of these items if you intend on fitting 5 of these frigates? All this work for ccp to save you 2 minutes seems kind of silly.

With, what is it nowadays, +/- 50.000 active accounts, the average accounts/player being 2 at the moment, so it's more like 2 minutes * 25.000 * (avg fitting-orders per player) = 50.000 minutes * (avg fitting-orders per player).

I am sure CCP will be able to fix this within 833 working hours, and then I'm not even taking the average fitting-orders per player within the calculation Cool
