ok.....

so some items have a buy now price of 1 gold... another 2.... and yet another 3... etc... the servers would have to generate an automatic button or "plug in" to have an auto buy for each price... so there would be around a 3 million buttons for it to generate... do you have any idea what kind of coding that is?


or they can just change the how auction slots are set up..if you put up an auction with the same min/max amount(or just have a single buyout price option) it will automatically change it to a set amount and have a Buy button next to it instead of a Bid button

Gee, what a concept. Maybe I should change my OP to... oh, wait, that was exactly what I suggested in the first place.


this is what i was brainstorming on...when you hit 'Buy' a confirm screen pops up like when ingesting potions..

I was thinking more about the danger of a 1-click buy button, after that was brought up ITT (by one of the "trolls", heheh).

If you're calling me a troll, I think I'm going to have to report you. :twisted:

Seriously. Take a look at people's history before calling them a troll. I'm by far your senior in this game and on the forum.

this just is not practical given the limited resources of HCS

yeah, it would be perfect if they had enough devs to spend time tweaking a lot of minor things, but this is a free game, and as such, they a limited in what to spend their time on

there is just so much more major things that need to be done before HCS can look at minor visual and gameplay features like this

That's another way it could be done. I don't like popups that much, personally, so I'd prefer the 2-click method, but either one would be better than nothing IMO.

I just want to improve the game. Who's posted more or been here longer is unimportant to me. Constructive input is what matters. Maybe if you'd offer more of that and less arrogance, you wouldn't be mistaken for a troll in the first place (by someone else, not me, you might want to notice).

That seems to be the consensus.

See above. You're complaining to the wrong person about the "troll" comment (REREAD THE THREAD BEFORE SAYING NUH UH), and thanks a pantload for bashing my suggestion. Is that considered proper forum behavior? I didn't see the warning that noobs are not allowed to post suggestions here, or are to be bashed upon doing so.

This doesn't seem at all needed. Just not all that important or 'that' timesaving, in my opinion.

Also, do try not flaming everyone who comes on this thread (You even showed Rebornjedi a hint of disrespect and he is one of your ideas supporters. That actually is against the rules, no flaming.

Sure, it would be nice to have a "Buy Now" button similar to eBay, but it's not really needed. If you miss out on 1 item because you couldn't type quick enough, there's usually another one for sale.

Not needed. So low on a priority, it is not on the page.
