There will never be a search or filter for the GTHQ. Its not in EA's interest. It's commercially profitable for them to keep the GTHQ "unusable". Because we can't easily (or at all) buy what we need, we'll either have to wait patiently or use sim cash to 'accelerate' production... EA wants us to use sim cash. This is fine given that they're in the business of making money. This is what EA needs for their game to be profitable. EA being one of the biggest games makers worldwide who go so far as to scan premier league footballers facial expressions at a cost of millions for their fifa game could so easily add a search box to a list of items - it isn't beyond them. So they have chosen to leave the GTHQ as it is and will never fix or improve it. I posted this a couple of days ago but they deleted my post. The truth hurts EA? Terrible customer service - if this is their business model then that's fine they should at least acknowledge the fact and let gamers decide whether to stay or walk away rather than delete 'uncomfortable' posts.
Well... I can live with the fact that they need to make money somehow. The game itself is free, but obviously cost money to develop. That's quite normal in a profit-organisation.
But I would like the bug to be fixed making the game crash every other time I enter the market. That's useless and frustrating. I don't care about seeing items that are gone by the time you get to the city; that's part of the game, but the crashes are killing...
