2 Simple Solutions to deal with overpriced items on GTN.
So i'm sure at one time or another on a late night or quickly buying multiple stacks of Matts of the GTN people have accidentally bought one of those deliberately over priced items on GTN
I bought 2 stacks of 4 items for what mu mind was registering as 433.99 but when in fact it was actually 433,990 so needless to say i lost a lot of credits about 3.4 million.
Two simple solutions to keep this from happening as much.
Protecting the players.
Freeing customer support to deal with more important issues.
Balancing out GTN prices.
!) Remove decimals from unit prices. Round it up to the nearest credit this would illuminate a lot of mistaken prices on late nights of playing.
2) 15 Minute grace period to hit a return to GTN button. If you accidentally purchased an over priced item you would have 15 minutes to hit a button to return the said item to the GTN market. We already wait 1 hour to receive funds from sales maybe there could be a 15 minute delay before a person is notified that an item has been sold.
Two very simple solutions to fix a long standing problem since the beginning of MMO and credit selling companies and players, taking advantage of players.
I'm really hoping this gets sent up the chain of command as it is not just beneficial for the customers but also saves the company a lot of wasted man hours and money dealing with support tickets dealing with this issue.
It's also the type of thing that would show that the game company cares about its customers and help reduce the amount of abusive behavior on the GTN.
Please give this some serious thought.
I have sent in a support ticket with the two suggestions will back it up with a phone call to customer support and bring it up at SWTOR Redit as it seems some of the developers actually do listen to some of the ideas and issues posted there.
Odds are i can kiss the 3.4 mil good bye but it will be nice to help contribute to keep it happening to other people in the future.
Cheers,
