salvadorellama Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Subject says it all. The interface needs to be completely reworked. Not to mention the bugs with it (e.g. not being able to delete the last number when putting something up for sale and changing price). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Itharius Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Agreed. ATM it's very hard to use and it dissuades people from auctioning off items. The GTN needs the ability to auction off items, the GTN cut needs to be decreased, and there needs to be the ability to search the GTN by name without selecting any categories, like in WoW. Also, I'd like the ability to search items when I put something up for sale on the GTN, so I know what to sell stuff for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriven Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It feels very clunky to me and does not look clean. Hopefully it gets redesigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mautalent Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I believe it needs to be worked on a little. I am used to shift+clicking to automaticaly place the name of the item you want to search for in the search bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkimor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I was actually about to make a thread about this as well. The entire AH system, right down to separating items into different quantity stacks is just terribly managed. I really don't know how a system this dense got through testing. I really tried to make it work for me but it fights me every step of the way. Chances are, all the problems I could list (of which there is a lot, sadly) are probably items that Bioware is already well aware of (or at least I would hope). Chances are we aren't going to see any change in the system for sometime, and I damn well hope we do see some change, because the current system is about as user-friendly as a Lightsaber with no handle.

Bretcobus Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 the system beleive it or not was even worse int esting , this Ah they use now is a joke, EA has a habit of low commings, its the right earned when your development expense is significantly lower then your total profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkimor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Worse? My........my brain........when I try to think of how to make it worse it feels like my brain is catching fire....... How could it possibly be worse?! Actually, I don't want to know.....Bioware may take it as advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fardreamer Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I actually agree with this. GTN interface is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkimor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Bump. Bioware needs to see threads like this. No one in their right mind could possibly think that the AH system is where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkimor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 My que is below 30 now, so I wanted to bump this one more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkimor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It's terrible, to be blunt. That's actually putting it REALLY nice. Que's done; keep this thread alive people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesperascit Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have been able to use it with no issue so I'm not sure what you are all talking about (Note that I have only SOLD items, I haven't purchased anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysertx Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 yep. it's the one thing (i can think of atm anyway) that is shockingly underwhelming. i know this isn't the case, but it looks like it was an afterthought. like...they came to the table and said "we're done with swtor!" and then realized that they forgot to put AH system in...and then scurried to throw something together that day. very clunky and very poorly-designed. it's especially bad since the rest of the game seems so amazing so far.

Vesperascit Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 A little update, I just logged in and had 5 new successful sale messages in my mailbox. So since I was clearly able to figure out how to list items, and those people were clearly able to find the items I listed and purchase them. Seems to be working fine.

Forr Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Auction search actually takes up a lot of the server's resources. They *could* come up with bigger hardware, or they could spend that money on something else and restrict GTN. Personally I don't mind either way.

salvadorellama Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 I hate to bump my own threads, but I'd like this to get out there and be seen. If you agree, post and refer your guildmates and friends to post here too. Maybe we can get enough people to show interest and get it on the priority list to get changed.

Ulixis Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 In beta it was one of the first things I went to check, and it's a good thing it wasn't the only thing lol. I like the game but the AH is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediknightReece Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I put up several auctions and had no problem whatsoever and I just found it while I was taking a different route. How is it hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianoia Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I would love for them to replace the drop-down menus with check boxes by category. I think that'd make it a lot more intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merex Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) A lot of things having to do with the UI is pretty bad at the moment. GTN is just one of them. Edited December 17, 2011 by Merex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todaz Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It's easy, if your thinking of wow auction house your not going to get that. It's very user friendly and easy. Only thing I don't like is LFG... that needs to be redesigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostSentinal Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 lineage 2 has the best Shop system and chat whisper etc in game, probably the oldest aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
