The problem with advocating that people "stop being idiots" (paraphrased) is that people will continue being idiots whether you inform or tell them to or not. And while I don't advocate that we go our of our way to idiot-proof everything in existence, I think this is a case where a simple change would go a long way to help without really any downside.

I'd like to say "lets not let this thread spiral out of control like all the others" but I know better, so instead I will just suggest the OP post this suggestion in the suggestion forum and then ignore it from then on. All that's going to happen here is 60 pages of debate that will resolve nothing.
I agree, I think it's a great suggestion. Either have the decimal there all of the time, or none of the time. Make it consistent and people will be less likely to screw it up. Of the two options I think removing the decimal altogether is better, since it removes the chance of mistaking it altogether and really it adds no information.

It would show a unit price of either 333, or 334 credits. No different than how it will currently round to 333.33 (or 333.34, depending on how they did their rounding).

I don't think we need to repeat that here.

That thread made my day, for days.

But yo, if this thread manages to top that one, I'll tip my hat to all of you.

This thread has potential!

OT: Sometimes the sorting by unit price won't do anything, I then sort by total price first and after that the sorting by unit price will work for me.

Now if you'd excuse me, I need to put more commas into my trade listings.

There is an issue, and it has to be fixed.
A person lists something for a clearly marked price. Someone buys said item for the exact price listed. Seems like a non issue to me. What needs to be fixed is people paying attention to what they are doing and not trying to force EA/BW to change the system to prevent them from doing something stupid.
Dear BW,
Please nerf paper and buff rock. Scissors is fine as is.
Signed, Rock.

One of the few suggestions I can get behind as a QOL improvement.

Yes, given that we also pay an insane comission for each sale this little service wouldn't hurt.

Those who are not able to do such simple things and are also not able to *think and look before buying sth.* - those are beyond help ..!

And those who are listing things like *Tier 1 Mats* for 2.000 Credits per Unit (CPU) or more like 100.000 CPU / 1.000.000 CPU - those are just (sorry for saying it!) stupid... As stupid as those who are buying ... The same goes by the way for those who are thinking *I have put something (lets say a chest from the CM) into the GTN for 1.000.000 Credits and didn't sold it so now I will try selling it for 2.000.000 Credits* [ROFL] (just as a hint -- if you are not able to sell somthing you shouldn't increase the price perhaps you should instead decrease it !!) ...

All fractions of a credit should be dropped and instantly transferred to me.

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...
