Truthfully I totally understand that this is a multiplayer game and I don't mind having to visit a city or fly to the fleet to use the trade network. Truthfully there could be a gtn on my speeder that I could use anywhere and I would not care as much as getting the UI overhauled. At this point it doesn't matter if there is a gtn everywhere if it is so poor to use. Compile this with the fact that if us power users ( expierenced auctioning users form other games) are having such problems, and find it confusing to use, new players will just opt not to use it at all, and all that focus you spent on the crafting system will be for not. Unless you really do want /1 general to be just filled to the point crazy with people trying to sell there goods there, because this is where people will move to and the gtn will be abandoned as a reasonable tool. I have tried my best not not sound overdramatic about these issues, however the communities outrage stems from the fact that the game you have made is so great in so many areas and many people, myself included, want to make it their game-of-choice, however this system seams to be such a glaring oversite and so poorly designed it really takes you out of the game and looks poorly on the game as a whole. I would be very surprised to hear a fix is not in the works, bit I wish we would get zone kind of yellow about this, also I beg someone to bring this up in a Q&A or some other bioware event so we can get some feedback on our concerns.

There are some good parts of that post as well and I am just hoping we will get some news from the devs recognizing our concerns and complaints. I would love to hear some of there opinions and what there feelings are on all of this.

I think this a great post with some really valid points and good recommendations on how to fix this. I am a big crafting and trading guy so I really need these changes. I feel my long term enjoyment will kinda depend on this. I love that your development team has bragged so much about your crafting system, which I do think is great, let's just get the instrument of delivering these products up to the same level. I also do recognize that beta testers may not have given you good feedback on this since they may not have been as invested in it, but this definitely should have been caught there. It does feel like this ui has been overlooked and thrown together. Hopefully this forum will stay troll free and we can get some official response to what bioware is thinking on this issue.
