why the change?

well ive tryed this new market system on the forums and tbh i find it alittle annoying to do my tradeing, haveing to go back and forth between diffrent sections to find things.

Is it possible to make a link from each section into the other 3?
This would make it alot easyer than haveing to go back to the main list and scroll down.

mayby just a sticky with links to the others...would save alittle time atleast....

The general public felt this would be easier then looking through 4 to 5 pages all in one section looking for the best price/qauanity.

Please just give it some time to grow on you. Most have found they like being about to browse by catagory. If your looking for uu they are all together. If your looking for AT they are all together. It seems to be a better system for the buyers and the seller. I do apologize for any inconveniance it may cause you but if you give it a chance I think this will prove to be a better system.

dont think i ever used more than page 1 in the old setup, never saw the point in makeing a trade that you have to wait hours to be accepted -.-

also its alot harder to get good deals with this system, havein to check 2/3 sections rather than just refreshing 1

Is their a way to make threads that have been inactive for over 4hours go a diffrent color or something? so alteast you might be able to tell quickly which people are still online

atleast add a reply on geisha "Sticky: Market Rules and Guidelines (updated)" with the links to other forums to make it easy

hey ill even make the post for you


you just need to edit and copy it out

* I have seen several trades less then 3 hrs old hit the second page, but I do see your point

* I don't understand this concept, If you are looking to buy a set resource or sell a set resource then why are you jumping from page to page? If you are just looking for nothing imparticular then I can see your point but most people know what they want to buy or sell when they go to the market, this system is easier on them. We are just trying to provide a better system and we can't please everyone.

*This is a brilliant idea, I hope its put inplace.

* This is Geishas call but I see potential in this idea as it is a pain going to the index each time you change sections. I like this idea.

Thank you for being respectful and offering sound ideas instead of the usual bashing we get for trying to better the forums. You do have some good ideas.

I agree with Lore, it is a good idea.

Perhaps if Geisha could edit her post (in the thread below) to have them as links:

i like the split :) now it's easier to look for deals for a given type of resource.

It seems much easier to me also. Keeps more deals on the first page of each section. Easier to compare more of the same resources at a glance too.
