Changes to the way trades are listed?

[Iyapo]

I have noticed a change in my trader. Twice I have gone in and found 2 star, two digit trades at the very top of the trade window(Example 50 marble for 50 steel).

I used to have to scroll down to the end of the two star trades to find the bitty trades. Has anyone else noticed? When did Inno do this? It is WONDERFUL! It will make life so much easier on new players... until the spam traders find it and post 60 2 star cross trades every hour... but still, really nice change!

curious if they were your FS members?

 

[Iyapo]

Nope, neighbors.

I will try to grab a screen shot next time I see it, but honestly I don't often see single or double digit trades, and the three digit trades are still all the way at the bottom of the 2 star list.

No changes in the browser at all. I don't look at mobile very often, so I can't answer that, and I think that is where you play?

 

[Iyapo]

Yes I play on mobile. I think I may have gotten excited over nothing, I think it was in my chapter 6 city with an itty bitty neighborhood and a trader full of 1 star trades due to the fee.

 

[Iyapo]

It was not my imagination!! I have screen shots!

The player circled in red is the same player, they are not in my Fellowship. In the first shot is a 2-digit 2-star trade all the way at the top of the trade list just below the 3-star trades. Second screen shot shows the same player with 3-digit 2-star trades all the way at the bottom, just above the 1-star trades.

So 1 and 2 digit baby trades are being given priority placement. This is a WONDERFUL change!

So 1 and 2 digit baby trades are being given priority placement.

is it because they're baby trades, or because they're cross tier and the system is confused?

 

[Iyapo]

I hope it is because they are baby trades and I hope it is a permanent change not just a weird glitch.

is it because they're baby trades, or because they're cross tier and the system is confused?

I am betting a confused system is the case. Exchanging 75 crystal for 112.5 planks is an even trade, but you cannot trade for a partial plank. So trading for 112 instead is listed as 2 star but it is a better 2 star than the rest.

It appears to be a justification issue: the text block has been "left justified", meaning the program puts the first digit to the left and follows through. If there was a trade for 5 goods, it would be the first shown because the left digit is considered the primary start point for the text.
It should be "tight justified", making the last digit (or letter, in the case of the k for 1000)the common start point, and as the text grows in digits, the spreadsheet moves it to the top.

Someone played with the formatting of the data sheet program, messing up the display settings.
