4. Only allow 1 order per resource per room on the market

Only allow 1 order per resource per room on the market


  • This screen cap (from the Shard2 market ui) shows 9 different orders, but they are all selling the same 675 H. This basically means that if you look at any single-component resource on Shard 2, all you see is this one guy's market order for a small amount of that resource.

    I think the tools to modify market orders are sufficient, and using a small amount of resource to completely dominate the user interface is kind of annoying.

    But I can see the other side of it too: the user gets 50 market orders, and if they want to put the same 675 H up for sale 50 times, and pay the listing fee, maybe it's better to not restrict the players.

  • This is only visually appalling for humans, and really doesn't pose any problems at all.
    He is the cheapest, so his orders are first.
    So I don't see a reason why there should be a change necessary.


  • I would honestly be fine if I could filter on amount in the ui (rather than just sort).

  • A limit on one order per resource type per room would also be a performance benefit. Every time you request H orders you have to parse all the info for these orders.

    👍

  • This would probably be a good check against a bug in someone's code that makes several hundred orders. I've heard of a few of those.


  • I actually don't understand what the problem is.

    Why is this a problem?

    What if it were 50 people with one order each cluttering the same interface? Would it still be a problem? How would it be different?

    Only the top 1-5 of these are ever relevant anyways, in my experience.

    Any automation needs to build "the wall" aggregating these orders (over some window) anyways, regardless of who they are from.

    The UI needs work, this users poor code is punished by the market order cap.

    Just wanted to add that if such a limit is added, it has to be at least two orders per resource type. It should be perfectly viable to have both a sell-order and buy-order.

    That said, I do not think this is a problem.
