I've had an idea for a while now for a new update and if it has been mentioned before, then I'm sorry...
Basically, when doing trades, instead of showing lots of zeros, they should put 1K for 1000, or 1M for 1,000,000.
I think the zeros are putting a lot of people off and this could be an easy solution that STS can do. I also don't see why it shouldn't be there.
Thoughts?
I prefer to add commas to the 0's.
Because what if someone wrote 1m then added 1gold to that? Would it still say "1m"?
True.Quote:

Nah, I think they should only put 1m if they type 1,000,000 and typing 1m will be invalid.Quote:

Commas solve the problem. They did it in AL. They can do it here.
How do stop scamming - learn how to read numbers.
10/10, but really just don't be stupid and read the gold amount entered
It's very easy to make a mistake reading a wall of zeroes. That's not stupidity; it's part of being human. That's why people invented the idea of separating with commas in the first place. Not to mention that people actively try to trick each other by entering one value then switching it to another during all the confirmations screens the trade window presents. It would be trivially easy for STS to implement separators and would vastly reduce errors.Quote:

100000000
100,000,000
Yeah, that's what I thought. Guess you're just as "stupid" as the ones you insulted.

Or you could just read really closely and double check and triple check to make sure you're not being scammed. STS already put in a confirm option. Unless you're making trades that are over the gold cap, I really think it's pathetic if you get scammed. Tbh, I have no sympathy for people that get scammed because it tells me they weren't looking close enough at the trade. I mean it's not that hard to read zeroes...commas or not.Quote:
