This statement flies directly in the face of one of COH's core design philosophies: That every toon should be able to solo.

This assumes that all of us want to be bothered with formulae. What's true for some of us isn't true for all of us. In my case (since I can't speak for everyone), it's a pointless time sink to have to run to a vendor to determine the price of a recipe just to determine whether or not I will make a profit on an item in the market, and then run back to him after checking market prices to learn that a recipe is, essentially, vendor trash.

And I stand by my opinion that the game should, whenever possible, display the numbers. The developers have already adopted this philosophy, in that the Combat Attributes window shows us the numbers. I don't see how this would be any different.

I'm not going to argue "crapiness" as that's subjective. I will argue "utility," however, as that can be fairly objective. We're talking about what I feel is a genuinely useful piece of information that is not really all that easy to determine if you're a new player, or even an experienced player who doesn't know the formulae.

The difference is in time spent. This becomes crucial when you're teaming and need to clear your inventory quickly in order to get back into the action. If a vendor is added to the store, you still have to move back and forth between two different contacts to determine the value of an item, involving many more mouse clicks. A QOL addition, such as the one I'm proposing, would eliminate that altogether. Simply moving the vendor contact closer might eliminate the travel time, but it wouldn't eliminate the work involved in comparing vendor prices to market prices.

Forgive me, but I think you presume too much. I was not complaining, nor did my original post imply anything of the kind. I simply stated that I had noticed something which seemed to be a glaring omission, and that it might be handy. Then I asked if anyone else would find it useful. It was not a complaint. Not in any of my responses have I complained. I have, however, argued that a simple QOL addition to the AHUI would streamline the decision making process when selling recipes.

The whole point of the redesign of the AHUI was to make it easier and faster to work with the market. As I see it, this meager addition (which is not necessarily simple to implement, mind you) would be consistent with that goal.

Even so, why should we have to do math in our heads when the game knows these numbers and could simply display them with the item?

There are a lot of items that I know I won't be able to sell on the market for more than a vendor will buy them for, however there are also many many more where I have no clue. Further, new players (and we soon hope to have many of them) don't have the benefit of years of experience.

It would seem to me that adding this information would vastly simplify decision making when at the auction house, both for new players and experienced players alike.

Nope, I'm not ready to submit it to the Suggestions forum until I get a sense of whether or not I'm alone in feeling that it would be useful. Although, I can see where you're coming from: a thread started there would likey have served the same purpose. I'll ask a dev to move this to the Suggestions forum.

Edit: A request to move the thread has been submitted to Mod8.

Hear, hear!

Rain of Fire is a grossly misunderstood power, in my opinion. Properly slotted and combined with BU & Aim, it melts most enemies on the spot before they can escape its area of effect.

I was in a bank mission once, and the bosses were about to escape through the door. I laid ROF at the exit. The bosses, naturally, turned away from it and re-engaged the tank. The tank was furious. "Don't EVER use ROF! It scatters them!"

"Yes," I responded. "But it also kept them away from the door, and in the building where we wanted them."

It can not only be a massive damage dealer--despite it's "slow tick" reputation--it can be a very tactical power.

This. That is all.

Quite right. The 6 gigs are in preparation for a move to Windows 7 64-bit. Vista can, however address up to approximately 3GB of my RAM.

This is my suspicion, as well. I have a gut feeling that there's something out of alignment between Virtue and the AH server. But, since I'm not there, looking at the internals, I can't say what it is.

Some of these behaviors may have been present in the old interface, but they were nowhere near as severe as they are now. Further, I never ran into the issue where I would drag a piece of salvage into the window and it would throw it back out before. No way, no how.

Granted, I could just be forgetting. (I am not gifted with flawless memory.)
