0-1 Star Trade Warning

[StarLoad]

Why not the other way around? A warning if you take that trade, so you can't missclick accidently. But give players the option to deactivate the warning.

Already been rejected by a prior CM and Devs, if I remember correctly

The solution :
Practice Safe Trading .....

Don't trade while angry, in a hurry, drunk ( impaired ),
or on a device that its hard to get precise clicks.

Problem Solved.

To say not to trade on a device that it’s hard to get precise clicks could exclude an entire audience of players. I have some players that can only play on their phones, because they don’t have laptops or tablets to play the game, but it is easier to make mistakes on a phone while doing it. Mistakes happen, we’re human.

@Astram will you please close this? I didn’t realize it was going to be such a hot topic for people..

I like this idea.

Trading is always a hot topic on here I noticed. And this thread isn't even too bad at all yet! Just wait and check out some of the previous trading threads. It will come as a shock.

unless the idea is on the list of "nope, never going to happen" it is still a valid topic and worth discussion.

Dare to dream , Soggy....
Gee thats got ur entire wishlist, doesn't it .....
you wouldn't be a tad greedy, now would ya ??
and you even avoided giving some ppl the
filter they wanted.....

which filter would people want that isn't there?

 

[BrinDarby]

I agree'd long ago a filter for stars, but
all possibilities. 0,1,2,3 and both "and/or".
We both want that filter but I might not
just want a filter for only 1 or 3 stars, as ur pic has.
I have no prob with a crosstrade filter either,
as long as it works both ways up or down.
We won't discuss the % addition, ok ?

It definitely would shock me... I love the actual game, our players are so nice!! To see the hostility and find out it's only a fraction, yikes.. Makes new forum members nervous.

Is there a scenario where you'd want to hide 2&3-star trades? (no sarcasm, genuinely curious)
My concern is that too many checkboxes would clutter it up (especially on mobile?) so just boxes to add 1 & 0-star trades if checked seemed a reasonable improvement without adding too much.

Heh yeah I was too lazy to crop it out but it is part of the dream to finally improve trading for the little guys.

uhhh , Yes ..... ( no sarcasm either )
as a coder I see room for radio buttons, or
a dropdown that takes up the same space
as yours did but would select 0,1,2,3.... yet
that wouldn't do "and/or", just "and"....

I can mock 1 up for ya, if ya want..... but yes
I'd like to have any or all all be selectable,
especially if I'm looking for 0* trades from
friends, to help them out.

I had considered drop downs, but they're bad for mobile, and worse yet they don't hold your preferences.
I believe a lot of players would set things up the way they want and not want to adjust it every time.

Is this the situation you'd want to hide 2&3-star trades?
So you could more easily find a pre-arranged zer0-stat trade from a FS member?
Would this work:
In this situation click 1, then 2 and you'll be taken directly to the 0-star trades

Spoiler: this

 

[BrinDarby]

Soggy, per the forum I have 3 cities that only do 2*.
So I'd like to see just those sometimes. Yes to pickup
0* for friends, I'd like that option too.... I also would
want a fee toggle, so I could eliminate all the fee based
trades. Duhh , it'd be nice if it didn't reset, but the following
would work even if its only "or" not "and/or" ....

 

[BrinDarby]

I guess if you wanna see just 3* or 1* ,
others might wanna see 0* or 2* ....
can we find a better way to include both ?
(all inclusive, playerwise)

 

[StarLoad]

One issue is that the Trade fee adjusts the * value of a trade at times.

[BrinDarby]

@ed1960 ,
if it has the 50% fee applied, I don't wanna see those.
No matter what * they are.......
