Now be nice. He is obviously in charge of updates to bases not the market.

Plankton is probably who worked on the market UI.

I guess I was thinking that there was a greater demand for things they didn't include and I was not seeing the things you listed because of the problems they gave us we didn't ask for and the more important things they didn't.

And they took away one of the most important features of the old UI for me: the ability to narrow search by item type.

I thought it was funny and a good use of hyperbole. I just wanted to jab at RP and lack of base love.

If 6 includes roleplaying I think you have it too low. And bases are way too high. Probably around 15 or 20.

I'm not talking about marketeers. I am talking about the markets.

I'm not even talking about the economy.

The markets should be the primary means of distributing drops from the "don't wants" to the "wants".

When the markets fail to work well people cannot get their IOs at any price except by lucky drops or eternal merit grinding to directly choose them. And that still negates PvP and Purple recipes.

To my mind markets are an important part of looking cool (ok they took care of that with costume drops) and punching bad guys (or good guys) in the face well.

My other concern is how the side games play into keeping people interested and around.

Side items to my mind are base building, PvP and AE. All took a lot of effort to add to the game but ignoring them makes those efforts largely wasted as the players interested in those things drift off to the next new thing. Even if they throw markets into that list that impacts the entire inventions' system negatively if they ignore it or break it.

A lot of good suggestions are often made on things that would help the markets. While some are probably very difficult to do (level spread bids for example) their benefits would be enormous. I am still not seeing this new UI as doing anything people have wanted from the markets for the past 3 years other than stopping the disconnects.

Hey as an often BUYITNAO I thank you guys for making sure I can.

I am convinced they will never merge the markets. In 10-15 years when it is down to one game server they still won't.

Same but since I play the rest of the game not that I am going to stick with my Warshades. Getting my PB to 50 was just painful compared to my shade.

Plus a second build at 50 could take a lot of supplies over.

I wouldn't joke about that.

There's a thread in the General forum of people complaining about it now celebrating the change back and with the other side of people regretting the change back.

Perhaps we need to move our market UI complaint to that forum instead of this ignored backwater seedy underbelly of a forum?

Well as long as it isn't really a nerf they want to do. Like ED.

Well I am waiting for Going Rogue to switch to where there are recipes.

I guess we see how you got your red rep. It would probably be more red but you are probably on a large number of ignore lists. +1

And more than that there are stupid posters.

Just to help you for all your merit earning options:

Search on "merit rewards"

Scroll down to Rewards Sources and choose villain in this case.

Dmitri Krylov, my good merit friend, for level 11-15 merits.

I think this is a terrific example of choices and time versus inf generation in those game choices.

Some people might say you're doing it wrong but I would say you are doing it your way and that's key to enjoying the game.

That could be tested by simply sending 1 inf but I still stand by the "I'd hate to lose a purple in email limbo" concern.

I believe people are doing exactly that which is part of the high prices for the things merits don't buy and the lack of recipes at the lower levels.

Now what could Posi's plan to fix the markets be...

And they are bringing back the Mystic Fortune accept prompt due to a great hue and cry from the players. Meanwhile in the markets...

Indeed.

By that logic, where was the massive outcry to make this UI we were given? People were posting about the lag and disconnects which were caused by pre-loading the market.

I don't accept one side is as nebulous as the other. One side might be fine with it but the objecting side are posting very specific complaints about this thing. You mention an improvement to the UI (entirely manipulatable with the keyboard). People here are mentioning problems with the new UI. That's not the same as like/dislike.
