Drop the cents in the GTN pricing PLZ !!

Do not care.

it isn't EA/BW job to hold their hands

and idiot proof the entire game

It would never end.

The tools are available for people to use to prevent from making mistakes,

it is up to them to use them and not the game company to drop everything and "fix" a non-existent problem.

There is no confusion to clean up for most people, so it's a bad idea that should go nowhere.

How about wasting dev time on something that's not broken and is not a real problem?

They have plenty of other things to work on.

So, if they make the change, are you actually insinuating that people will stop making dumb mistakes? Ain't no way!

I will not advocate any change that make like easier for stupid people...we are dumb enough the way it is.

Like I said, a lack of empathy.

Umm...yes it is. It quite literally is their job. It's their job to create an enjoyable playing experience for their users. Every time they make an improvement to the game they are holding your hand. Every iteration of the UI is done to better hold your hand. Every time they decide to go with one design over another, for "an improved user experience" they are holding your hand. The fact that they even display video and audio for you, tell you your damage numbers, log your hits and deaths, show you a sum of your credits, give you a confirmation dialog, and allow sorting, they are holding your hand. What makes this holding of your hand so much more holding of your hand than the rest of their holding of your hand that it has become morally reprehensible?

One minor change, which would have a large impact on avoiding user error is hardly idiot-proofing the entire game.

You're right, updating the game would never end. They should just stop doing that right now. No more updates because Grayseven can't handle it.

The tools are not working. They can be improved.

If a single developer taking 20 minutes to add a floor() call to the unit-price calculation constitutes BioWare "dropping everything" to fix the issue then you might want to rethink your stance. I haven't used any modern language that doesn't have some basic math functions as a part of the STL, which would include a function such as floor() or round().

Data? Statistics? Anything to back this up? Also, most bugs that they fix don't affect "most people", should those be avoided too? Afterall, it's impossible to fix them all, it will never end, might as well stop now.

Indeed, having a large amount of players spend exorbitant amounts of credits because of a mistake is not a problem at all. In fact it should be encouraged!

If only they had the ability to prioritize and organize their changes...Hey, since you seem to be so good at organizing their work, maybe you should get a job there to do just that.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm insinuating.

Congratulations! You are smarter than other people. Your mom would be very proud of you. And all those stupid people should just suffer in their stupidity. We can't have any sensible changes made to make their lives easier! Why? Because they're stupid!

There, your ego feel better now?

You haven't proved anything. You have stated an opinion that you have no valid proof to back up.

If you get "scammed" it is because you aren't using the sort system already available in game and you aren't reading the prices. Again, the tools are already there and if you can't use them properly why is it the companies fault?

By your reasoning, we should just get rid of the per item column of the GTN and go simply with the overall price which can not have decimal places.

Of course, then people will complain that there is another problem with the GTN that isn't really a problem for people who pay attention to what they are doing.

1) Yes, they are. I use the sort function several times every day and have not yet been failed by it.

2) Really? Define "large number." Have stats to back it up. Besides, is none of my concern what they do/don't do with their credits. And... what mistake? Their mistake or a mistake in the game?

3) Don't be silly. Although, if I managed to get the job, that would imply that I AM qualified to prioritize the work and I would do just that. FYI: I have plenty of project management experience and am probably better qualified for this than you think. But, I don't work at BW, so I'll let them decide. They obviously don't think it's high priority, either, or it would have been changed. How long this game has been here?

4) Since you have all the answers, maybe you should focus on fixing the world's real problems. We'd thank you for it.

The fact that Kaz-Res was able to rake in over 1.5 million credits a day is large enough for me…

I only first heard the issue brought up a couple weeks ago with the "scam" thread, and think it's a legitimate complaint. It doesn't matter how long it's been around if the issue was only noticed recently. And I think the more that the issue is discussed the more the problem will grow, until it is fixed…

As someone who works with thousands of numbers, financials, spreadsheets on a daily basis, and would also love it if they formatted every price consistently, whether it shows prices with zero or two decimals. It seems like a very simple quality of life improvement, that would really help with people making mistakes.

I think I've done every stupid thing on the GTN including:
1. Bought 3 turadium for 1 million credits from someone.
2. Omitted a zero when listing some MK-9 augment kits while in a hurry (I am so happy for whoever got this fabulous deal)
3. Bought 99 of a decoration, thinking I was buying 1. (Completely my own fault, but I'm slowly making a small profit selling the excess decorations, and now my balcony in Coruscant has a fabulous theme!).

I've also bought items that were obvious mistakenly priced, and then contacted the seller to see if they wanted to buy them back from me.

I don't think that I'm a "stupid person who deserves to be taken advantage of". I am however, someone who needs glasses, and someone who's game sometimes lags when sorting listings. To idiot-proof myself, I now triple check everything that I buy and sell, and browse with an alt with a limited amount of credits so I can't accidentally buy something.

As far as the moral debate in the other thread, I agree that everyone has the right to set prices how they choose. However, I think that intentionally trying to trick others into paying more than they intended shows a lot about someone's character. Perhaps it shows a lot about my character that I know obnoxiously undercut the particular person who fooled me when I see their other listings on the GTN.

Anyways, a simple change to the formatting of prices would help a lot of headache.
