So price history now has more fancy colors on my client. Hoo-ray.
The time window for all graphs is set at 1 month. I change it to 6 months which is my preferred atm. Go to next one, set at 1 month. Change it. Next one, it's still set at 1 month.

Really? How do I change the default? Before it worked so that you changed all of them when you changed one. Now I have to change 20,000 market items manually?

Then there is the y-scale of the same graph. Instead of sensible numbers, it consists of seemingly random decimal numbers.
I try to imagine how someone felt this would be appreciated?

Well maybe through bad luck I got some untested code loaded into my client and everything will be fine next time I log in...

Edit: so , here are the values on the y-axis of one item I just looked at:

0,12B
0,12B
0,11B
0,11B
0,10B
96,79M
91,40M
86,01M
80,62M
75,22M etc

What the difference is between 0,11B and 0,11B I dunno, it is quite meaningless to try and read values from such a scale.

If CCP can't recognise the issues from their own testing and have released it to TQ in this state, I doubt it matters much where we post our feedback.

Either this was a rush job or the designer, developer and tester were all incompetent. The fact the feature is awful isn't really the problem and criticism of the feature that is passed through the team responsible isn't going to solve it.

Some people need to get better at their jobs and I doubt us telling them this is going to make it happen.

You never can tell unless you try.

I've yet to find a CCP employee that responds well to being told they need to be replaced or retrained. This is quite understandable, of course. But it does make giving feedback about systemic issues somewhat difficult. The alternative, of addressing only the symptoms and ignoring the cause, seems to be already well in hand.
