Apologies if this has already been suggested, but it occurred to me that if orders could be altered by dragging the order to the top of the list (or to any other place you might wish it to be), then it would drastically streamline the process of modifying market orders, as opposed to the current process of r-click > modify order > type new price or use mouse wheel. The new price would always become 0.01ISK higher (buy) or lower (sell) than the order that is now below it.

Advantages:
1) Less clicking and/or typing in numbers, especially in cases where the price change is too large to use the mousewheel and are forced to type it all out
2) Ease of use for newer players - a more intuitive system(?)
3) More mistakes will be made by people who aren't paying attention, and drag it to the top of the list without checking the price

Disadvantages:
1) Less "market pvp" skill possible, eg. sneakily swapping a "0" for an "8" etc
2) Easier to macro/bot(?)
3) "Casual" market users may be pushed out of the marketplace by regular traders whose job is now easier/quicker [Eric Raeder]

Of course the current system of typing a value would still have to be available for times when 0.01ISK just isn't enough

Interested to hear your thoughts New Eden,

Oh, good grief, no. This would just make it even harder for anyone but dedicated station traders to use sell or buy orders. Its bad enough I have to log in several times a day to reset my order prices, I don't want to have to log in every 5 minutes because station traders can suddenly manage 5 times as many orders as they used to be able to.

If anything, I would advocate making it harder/slower to reset market orders. Its ridiculous the amount of penny war you have to go through to sell anything in this game.

Fair point, I'll add it to the disadvantages list

U'd need an small interface that would be accesible by pressin a button on the market interface.
That Interface would just be an simple empty box.
What ever singular item you drag into it would be considered an "get item market data / info".
What ever multiple items are dragged into it would be a sale; HOWEVER (!!) , each item would still be sold per 4 second cycle . . . much as it would take for a regular mouse action market sale.

THink of all the Wrists we would save!! Attention
