There is a common scam going around where someone offers to buy an expensive item such as dark manic. The person offers an amount such as 1111111, at the last minute claims their inventory is full so adds an item to the trade at the same time dropping one of the digits so 1111111 becomes 111111. Without commas, it is hard to see the difference between 1111111 and 111111 on a small phone. While you may have been careful counting the 1s before the person added the extra item to supposedly make space in their inventory, you may or may not carefully count them again. I was lucky enough to notice, but I know a few people that have been hit by this.
Seems like this whole scam could be avoided if the gold amounts were displayed with commas in the trade window. It is a lot easier to notice the difference between 1,111,111 and 111,111.
Yes, we can avoid the scam by not trading outside of AH. But seems like this should be a relatively easy fix to help protect people that are less paranoid than I am.
