Market Discussions

I was really looking forward to this new feature. Obviously the ability to multisell is a great feature but I have found that I am slowed down by the interface when putting in new orders.

Numbers are rather crowded in the sell window. With the previous quicksell it was a quick glance and then on to the next item. Now I find myself having to look VERY closely at the number to make sure it's right. (Those of you who who have ever made a typo that equates to multiple % of your net worth understand why we must be sure)

I have had to slow down my actions and be methodical which is exactly NOT what a trader working with hundreds of items wants to do.

Perhaps I Just need more time to get comfortable with the interface and build muscle memory?

Would like to hear more from the experienced traders here.
What are your thoughts on the window change now that you've had a chance to use it?

Definitely slowing me down. And since the buy window is as before, it is easy to sense which one is less functional now.

I already commented on the color changes, and that itty bitty miniscule text indicating the percentage deviation from market average - wow that must have been crafted by icelandic nanorobotes, or equipment they inherited from cold war microfilm labs.

It wasn't possible before either, so no real change there.

You click the graphic showing the percentage next to the price. A ****** un-intuitive hidden button, but it is there at least.

As per thread, I've gotten used to it and the patch after the first day increased usability a bit. Still way worse than the old window for single items though, but ~CCP~ and "everyone loves the changes" per the 7o show or whatever.

I agree - it seemed rushed. CCP got too focused on multi-sell and forgot that's not what most people are doing. Fortunately, CCP dev is giving the impression they are listening to feedback and will work to get it right.

I hope for a dev post / blog soonish

This is how I see it.

It is at tool for more rapidly dumping PvE detritus to the market when the player has little concern for the value of the individual items and primarily cares about the big green number in the corner of the window.

A trader's needs are very different.

I'd like to see them overhaul the entire market interface and make it decent.

But I would be deeply concerned that they would trash it like they did with the S&I interface and make it less useable for the advanced user in preferance for making it more accessible for the occasional user.

I see the best solution for all of these interfaces is to have a simple/advanced mode toggle, because there is no way you can make something that is complex enough to be useful to me while also being simple enough to be useful to the average disinterested mission runner.

Multi-sell is a rolling clusterfuck of sloppy developer fail. I sold a large tower a few days ago for three isk, and now I ONLY use it in single item mode.

What I miss most is that the Enter-key doesn't work anymore for placing the order when tabbing out of the amount field, like it used to do and still does in the "Buy order" and "Modify order" window.
