Not sure where to put this but wouldnt it make sense to add a quantity numeric box to the traders so we dont have to hit request buy over and over and over?

Sometimes I have to buy upwards of 50 items or so so I have to hit request then buy 50 times. We should be able to request say we want 50 then buy all at once.

what if you mistype 50 for 500 though, that would be far mroe agravating.

There's a huge price difference between 50 and 500. Simple solution would be not to carry more than you're going to need.

But you have to request a quote for whatever you want since the price is based on how much people are buying and selling to the traders. I've seen the price change for materials as I was buying them. Not sure how they'd work that.

You could always buy and sell to other players. You'll pay less for things you buy and get more for the things you sell. Not to mention that the one-at-a-time thing doesn't apply.

ive seen it go up too but not very much. they could have a bulk rate price.

Buying from players is more hassle than its worth.
1. you dont save that much
2. you have to spam forever to get alot of things.
3. people are just stupid and I dont like them.

They have this during the festivals when you buy tickets they could easily do it with traders.

QFT! Why you think heroes are so popular?

It is a good idea, though. I dont know why you need so many things at the trader, but it is a bit inconvenient to hit request/sell 25 times if selling a full stack of something.

thats not how the trader system works. the price is changed each time someone buys/sells an item. it might not be a big enough change to affect the price you pay, but it does change.

This can be calculated. it calculates a new price when you buy sell an item they can put in logic that does the same thing with bulk rate. Its not that hard. Ive done it in programs ive written.

Coloneh · Aug 27, 2007, 05:56 AM // 05:56

it wouldnt calculate the price of everyone else buying.

Sure it could. OnSubmit it can check what has been bought. This really would NOT be a hard thing to do
