Auction Hall layout - Noidenous - 23-02-2012
Anybody selling multiple identical items, singularly, for exactly the same price should have their items automatically grouped.
When buying from a player's stack, there should be a similar window to the 'sell your items' pop-up allowing the buyer to specify the number of items to buy.
This will alleviate the need to support Auction Hall entries from morons who insist on spamming their '1 x ITEM Z' for up to 10 pages [literally]. It also alleviates the buyer's need to make multiple searches just to purchase the same good, from the same person, for the same price 500 times [figuratively and possibly].
So that vendors can still set their single and bulk pricing, they should be able to lock a bulk listing from singular purchase.
For example:
I want to sell 2 Woven Steel for 5000 each
I also want to sell 2 Woven Steel for 9,500net
I want to sell another 2 Woven Steel for 9,500net
The auction hall would use the extra space on the page to fill in single price. 2 x Woven Steel 5000e 10,000net
Then the vendor could list multiples twice with a lock on each. 2 x Woven Steel 9,500net
The average price is displayed, thus alerting the vendor to the fact they've made a typo as soon as it's listed. It also allows a potential sale and resale to be more readily undertaken due to a far more transparent market.
Under this proposed setup, the buyer doesn't have to pull out a calculator for more bizarre transactions. eg. 147 x Cloth 5487 Gold ( that's 37.3265306122449e by the way
)Let's not forget that any program/page created these days should take accessibility factors into account. eg. Not having to click an extra 400 times to buy 100 Cloth individually at the best price available."
I would genuinely not be surprised if the idea behind allowing spamming is to force you to refresh the page more often, thus generating cash-cash-caaaaaaash.
