I would like to suggest adding filters to the Global Trade HQ so you can select which products you want to or do not want to find. As you progress it becomes more and more difficult to find the lower level products and by the time you do they are usually gone. Fo rinstance, I see mostly donuts in my Global Trade HQ.
I spend a lot of time refreshing and visiting other cities only to discover what I am looking for was already purchased by someone else. This is all wasted time and being able to filter out products would save me from wasting all this time.

Pretty much nothing but batteries and donuts here. Makes gameplay uninteresting as the "random" ift items haven't been popping up as much for me lately.
- Anonymous11 years agoTemporary trick: click on someone's item in the Trade Deptot. Go to their city and then click on Trade Depot there. Keep hopping around other cities until you find what your looking for.

I don't understand why there's so many donuts; I made 1 when I first unlocked it and that was it. I mean they do look tasty but come on! Same for watches...

- Anonymous11 years agoit is impossible to buy, especially past the lvl 25 ,add filters
- Anonymous11 years agoMe too. The lack of filters in the global Trade HQ is a MAJOR user experience #Fail on EAs part.

Absolutely! ! That or a more realistic market with both by and sell options. I would love to be able to day that i will buy dozer blades at up to 5,000 simoleans a piece. Allow the first person to sell the amount i need foR that amount. But they would also need to get rid of the artificial price ceilings.

I wouldn't want the price limits to be uncapped. This would probly cause a dramatic increase in the prices and possibly break the balance of the game.
An auto-buy queue would be nice. You pledge x amount for a product which others can see and they can fill the order.
- Anonymous11 years agoThis has become the reason I lost interest in the game. From a user perspective the enjoyment decreases when there's nothing to do anymore. By scrolling 10 times through a random list with no control over what appears in the list my interest in playing the game goes and I turn off. There's nothing left to do in the game but wait. I can't get any real playtime due to this feature. When you're trying to save for the basic building like the first education department or transport department and they cost $60k each, this take roughly 60 residential updates to earn that many simoleons, or aprox $30 in real money to purchase that many simoleons through the App Store to update. The only way to fast track this is to buy the items you need but you can't. This makes the game too slow and not enough depth, I found myself logging in for 10 min a day to collect the tax and wait till I had some money and it felt more like a chore than a challenge
- Anonymous11 years agoI fully agree with the comments. But i did not see any reply from The Sim City support team. I was an Addict at the beginning. I even bought items many Times. But now I feel like going no where. Very boring now......
- Anonymous11 years agoWe need this!
please! - Anonymous11 years agoIt is now getting to the point where on the third or fourth refresh of the Global Market, my game just closes itself.... I've uninstalled, force closed, even cleared cache/data files manually... nothing prevents the crash.
Spent 3 hours today refreshing the market looking for a single item because I didn't want to wait the 6 hours for it to craft.... it seems unanimous that we, the players whom click the "buy now" button that sends you cash, want a filter option on the Global Market. Seeing as this thread is almost two weeks old and had garnered no response from any representative of the company benefiting from our "buy now" clicks makes me (can't speak for anyone else) feel neglected and that no one cares. All I can do in response is walk away from a game I would've otherwise quite enjoyed, down vote on the app store, and advise future potential customers to avoid the headache of a very frustrating, slow, and boring game.
We're not asking for much, just an acknowledgement that the dev team hears us, and where they stand on this issue.
