Since CCP is on a hot streak in fixing small things, I though I might drop a thing that has bothered me since forever. I'm sure many traders out there will appreciate this.

In the market orders list (both sell and buy) highlight the orders owned by the player, for example give them a blue background or something.

This feature would really help for when you look at a list of market orders and want to see how your orders stand, as in do you need to update the price.
Now, the way I do it, is look at the prices in the market window, memorize them, look at the price of my order in the market order window then decide whether I need to update the price. This is really really annoying.


This should be really easy as the UI is capable of this because it already does it with buy orders which are within distance (they have a green background). So just insert a line
Quote:
if(order.owner == user) order.bgcolor = blue;

well not that exact line :P but something like that

And yes, I know this has already been suggested but it's been 4 years since then and perhaps CCP might have forgotten about it.

The current market mechanics could be missleading though. Since you always buy from the cheapest seller, there is no point is "selecting" the sell order you want to buy from (bcs you actually can't do that).

This being said, highlighting ones own market orders would still allow for easier order modification.

+1, I wouldn't have to keep flicking between wallet and market screen so much.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

No, I'm actually not that desperate for it, but it'd be really nice.

I was *just* (an hour ago) modifying my orders and thought about this. I wouldn't be surprised if this was on Team BFF's list; if not, put it on Five 0's list!
