When will we have a bulk trade system? @_@

[Shinichi]

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.

What's also lame is trying to hit a specific number with the 1 to 400 slider bar!

Why not have to option to type in the number? Or does that make too much sense...

[Mikoli]

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.

[Shinichi]

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 @_@

[Shinichi]

They should have atleast prioritize this one coz trading is very basic in this game and many are using trade everyday...

[Tombala]

+1 for bulk trade. I want to sell 10K wheat in 10 seconds.
