Change 10000000 into 10.000.000

[Pandamoni]

I normally never do trades on my phone but I did today. It was almost as if people smelled I was having trouble counting the digits on that tiny screen.

When someone fairly known tried the 'disappearing zero' act, she almost got me because I didn't expect that person to try and scam me or anyone else like that. Luckily I basically saw the amount 'jump' 1 position to the right when she quickly removed a zero, right before I was going to click on confirm.

Ow well, screenshots have been taken, reports have been sent, but all this could possibly be prevented if the digits were easier to count.

It's come to a point where I'll be using display recorder to film and report every single person that tries this scam me with some lame trick like this. High value trade? Make sure you're smiling cause you're being recorded!

I hope you reported her. I think you should warn the community by telling who it was. If you try that trick, you deserve to be out on blast

Even with how much I'd like to post her name it would only contribute to drama, not to mention I'd be breaking the forum ToS. I did send STS a detailed report about it, so I hope they'll handle it properly.

That said, I will let all my friends in game know who to watch out for and if anyone else is interested, I'd PM them the name.

You got to look at the bright side though, if someone hadn't almost succeeded to scam me, I probably wouldn't even have thought about posting this suggestion. I never realised how easy it was to miss a zero on a small phone screen.

+1000000000... I mean 1 billion.. or do I? Hard to tell.

Haha, I actually counted the zeros.

Comon STS/G, how hard can it be to make the numbers be displayed in a more 'scam secure' way? Hardly any programming needed and different solutions in this thread. The 30 minutes programming time is probably earned back in a couple of days by getting less 'I got scammed by a disappearing zero' support mails.

Wouldn't this be a win-win for both STS/G and their customers? And that with minimal effort from the developers?

PM me bro

On the topic of the topic. I make it a habit to count the zeros. Maybe more than once. But even doing that its possible to mess up. Its an easy fix for an exploit that can really hurt the player base.

It's amazing how many people try that trick if you're selling stuff with a lot of zeros in it. I make a habbit of counting the zeros too, some scammers quickly close the trade if it takes a bit too long. That's another sign that they're trying to trick you if you didn't have the chance to count the zeros yet.

Ow well, I think STS is very hard at work to bring us the next expansion, but if the community shows this is necessary I'm positive the devs won't let us down. Maybe add it for the next expansion?

this would realy help.

ithank

This should not have to be a request, it should've been a prominent feature when the 10000000 gold achievement came into play.

I agree. It looks a bit like an oversight. I'm confident STS/G will at least look into fixing this.

[Energizeric]

Yeah, this seems like a pretty easy fix.

[Szangheili]

I usually trade in numbers with less zeros, like if something is worth 100000, I'd sell for 99750, so i can keep track of the.numbers, and i still don't undersell for much

[Alfred Emmanuel Tanopo]

me too! I'd rather trade in 10980500 than 11000000

That's smart but we shouldn't have to use workarounds like this, especially when it's really easy to improve.

[Puntus]

Im agreed with this thread +1

exactly. Or if they could make "gold bags" or something. Like in this other game I played, their gold cap is at 999,999,999 (Yes they have commas but they still have a way to make it easier) where you could turn your money into "Perins". Beside your "gold pocket" there is a button in which you can click to make perins which is worth 100m. It will then be turned into a 1 slot item that when double clicked will again give you 100m gold...

or they could simply put commas.

I like the idea but it would take a whole lot more programming as compared to just adding a dot or a comma as 1000's separator.

It does sound like a cool idea though

[Kjalisi]

Very badly needed... every single time I have been selling a high value item someone tries this scam on me. It varies in that sometimes they will trade, put in the correct amount of gold and confirm, and then while I'm adding the sale item they quickly unconfirm and change the amount, or simply just put the lesser amount right from the start. I'd never thought about how hard that must be to detect on a tiny screen til I read this post, but we are constantly warning guildies trading high value items to count the zeros!!

Even a simply space would work well compared to what we currently have.

10000000
10 000 000

BIG +1

[JaytB]

I was hoping the proposed change would be done with the new update. So yeah, bump...

Some dev feedback would be appreciated.

[Drearivev]

I was thinking of creating a new thread for this, but you bumped this instead
Don't know if I already said my opinion, but THIS NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED!
