Ok .. So I know I'm still getting used to the new Market interface, but damn .. I feel like I'm clicking all over the place just for a simple bid.
How about these simple QoL changes :
(1) Place a "Cancle" button next to the "Make Offer" button on the bidding screen. Why? Because I don't always .. heck, almost never .. start my bidding by throwing in my maximum bid. I start low & bid up, canceling the previous bid before bidding again. (Because it frees up that infamy for use in the bidding, and doesn't take up a bid slot.) With the new Market screen, after entering my bid & selecting "Make Offer", If I don't win the bid, I then have to move my mouse to the very bottom of the market screen .. grab the slider bar on the right & pull it down .. then click on "Cancel" .. Rinse & repeat 'till I get my item. Ugh! A "Cancel" button net to the "Make Offer" button would sure save a lot of time.
(2) Yeah .. another button. A "Get" button next to "Make Offer" (& "Cancel" button). If I have a number of bids in, on a number of items .. as I often do .. I now have to go through pretty much the same process as above to even see if I WON the item. Place bid .. scroll to bottom .. grab bar on right & drag down .. look at bottom to see if "Cancel" has changed to "Get". (Or click on the "Bought" tab & look through the list there .. then back up to make another bid if it's not.) Just too much running around to place a bid.
(3) Change the "Get" button to green, rather than the currnet red color .. which is the same color as cancel, etc. It'd catch the eye easier & let you know at a glance that you've won something, rather than having to kinda 'read' the list. (Or jump back & forth between tabs.) "Find" is a different color .. Can't "Get" be too?
(4) Ok .. one more .. Could you change it so that when I click on a new category at the market, the text I previously typed at the top of the market screen doesn't change to read the new category I'm looking at? I've re-typed the same thing so many times over it's insane .. lol. Ok .. so it's not THAT bad .. but having to retype just because I sometimes click something at the market is kinda annoying. Especially when there doesn't seem to be a need or reason for it. I mean .. If I click on "Fixed Price" , the Fixed Price menu drops down to show the fixed price items, & on the right any fixed items for sale appear. So .. I know I found the "Fixed Price" section. I don't really need to see it in the search bar as well. :-)
I'm sure a lot of hard work went into the new market interface, & I know once I get a little more used to it, I'll find it faster to navigate. Still, I think the above changes would be great.
