Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I do alot of trading and so do alot of other player I know. With the new patch you removed the ability to search by minimum quantity among other options and replaced them with some crappy sort function that as far as I can tell just order the search results randomly.

I place large buy orders over large areas and then fly my freighter around to pick up from the stations that have a decent quantity to make the trip worthwhile. Having the ability to search by min quantity not onyl gave me the ability to quickly pick out the stations that were worth the trip to, it also allowed me to quickly see if there was even enough stations and goods overall to bother undocking my freighter.

With this new system, what used to be a 2 click sort process that took less than a second will now take several minute and quite possibly some paperwork.

I'm gonna go ahead an assume this was just some craaaaaaazzzyyyy oversight in the planning and implementation process which will be rectified quickly. Otherwise this might just be the push me and several other major traders need to pulp our toons and go play a game made by devs who appreciate the WHOLE of the game they are building instead of just constantly polishing the PVP pole.

Reminds me of the removal of being able to flag nuet/no-standing toons in local...which they said in the patch notes at the time was "for the overview" but they messed up and applied it to local as well. It was quietly re-introduced a couple of fixes later, but they refused to reimburse the Hulk i lost because of their crappy documentation/implementation.

Poorly considered changes like this that only hurt the "carebear" crowd just show how out of touch things have become around here....

Does CCP not realize that while the PVP crowd rants, rallies and rage-quits about whatever their beef-of-the-month is, it's the indies who actually have 3-12 accounts per person, stick with this game for years and make the whole thing go round.
