it's really hard to trade in bulk when you buy to someone... like if you buy 30k HWP for 15gc each it's okay for the HWP coz it's automatically in 400 but the gc you will have to scroll it again and again to 15 which really takes time @_@

Yes, the trade system is unwieldy for bulk trades. I bought water today, and that's a fairly easy one, since I only pay 1g for a stack, but still - it takes 12 mouse clicks to place each order. Want to buy 20k water? That's 50 stacks. That's 600, SIX HUNDRED, mouse clicks. That's ridiculous. Criminally ridiculous.
To place each trade in a bulk deal, you need to click to:
1 - select the player's name
2 - click Trade
3 - click your side of trade window
4 - click Advanced tab
5 - click gold
6 - click far-left end of slider to get to 1 (we're not even gonna talk about trades for less than 400 or more than 1)
7 - click OK
8 - click friend's side of trade window
9 - click Intermediate tab
10 - click water
11 - click ok
12 - click send trade
Who approved this design & interface? Fire them. That's one of the bigger epic fails in design I've ever seen.
And then it requires 2 mouse clicks to accept payment for the trade I sent. What is that? I have to click the mail message and then click Accept? Why? I sent the trade, the person accepted the trade - just put the payment into inventory. Or if you want to force me to acknowledge it, then change the mail interface to where it's utilitarian and functional. I don't need all the text "Trade offer: xx Product for yy Product" Just put each trade on a line, with columns for trader, offer & cost, & accept/decline on that same line. Anything offer I accept puts my payment right into the sender's inventory.

Yes try to get to an exact number when you have a mouse that dbl clicks without notice...makes doing things interesting at best, miserable at worst.
that's my point they should have changed the bar to input a number into lets say a max of 10k or 100k per trade coz it will take an hour to trade 50k water with the current system lol @_@
They should have atleast prioritize this one coz trading is very basic in this game and many are using trade everyday...
+1 for bulk trade. I want to sell 10K wheat in 10 seconds. :D
i about fell out of my chair when i saw roy post that, rofl.
It should be implemented as soon as possible coz the higher your level the greater the demand on resources and click click click takes a lot of time lol... I tried to read the update logs every maintenance but it's all the same... no real updates at all and It's really getting boring :(
Hell I'd even be ok with levels added to the branch office to increase the amount we can trade. I'm sure among the reasons to not have bulk trade is to stop the rookies from getting taken advantage of. Make it similar to the prov house and barracks upgrades, with each lvl the amount you can trade goes up. If you still haven't figured out the trade system by time you get a branch office to lvl 5 then you are destined to get shafted whether it be 400 at a time or 5-10k at a time.
The new trade system was in the works but with the large delay in the easter event and all the server issues lately I wouldn't expect to see this update before around 4-5 months- It did not appear to be listed in the "summer" patch that I saw listed on SV. Also probably means pvp is as much as a year or more off if it ever gets done.
so we still have to stick in this crumpy trade system @_@ for a while... zzz
Sadly this is probably right, these new problems that have risen up so graciously probably stunted any future big works in mind for the devs.Quote:

looks like this trade thing isnt going to happen :(

^^Suggested this well over a year ago during closed beta and it promptly disappeared into the black hole where suggestions go to die... :(Quote:
