Guilds > The Goods > Improvements

Some of the Goods elders and tellers would love to hear your ideas about how to make The Goods a better resource.
Someone involved with The Goods may make an effort to read them and respond when we can.
Some suggestions may be too difficult or time-consuming to implement, or may be handled very slowly. We'll do the best we can.
If you have any questions or concerns, please send them to TpcT in-game.

Proposed ***Date*** Status Description Notes
TpcT 09-nov-06 Approved Make it easier for traders to know that the value of their trade has changed. Need to store original trade value and display current difference to trader (and teller)
[nov23-tpct:]This has been approved. Being coded.
ba-dabing 09-nov-06 Reviewing Have a better system for Tellers and customers to meet up after the trade is complete on the website [nov16-tpct] I have a vague idea for a teller-availability page on the website which might help, but it may take a while to get approved, coded, and implemented.
Noreferti 09-nov-06 Reviewing Have a specific hour when a teller will always be present (hour to determinate) : an opening hour like in a shop ^ (see note above)
Yendor 10-nov-06 New Have some method to setup trades that can be cleared by the next teller even if the original trader is offline For example, incoming + outgoing chests in the traders compound
Aidenna 12-nov-06 Reviewing Add columns to the web page showing date and (pre-trade) price of the most recent trade for each item, so users can get an idea of trends and volatility thanks for the idea. checking required effort. (tpct)
TpcT 21-nov-06 New an option when submitting a trade to automatically use the trader's goodscript credit to keep the trade positive.
Shawn 23-nov-06 Reviewing The creation of an "Expensive" category where products in this range start at 25k or 50k goods script instead of 10k so that items like huge gems and screw gears would actually get traded. [nov23tpct:] Thanks for the idea. I think implementing something like this might dramatically decrease stocks in other items. Need to think about it.
Shawn 23-nov-06 New A system by which the goods can keep it's current policy yet gain value: Trade wine in 2 categories only 12% alc and 13% alc ( You'll prolly have to record who sold the wine to the goods - to make a trader reliability chart ) wines in both categories should be sold based on age only ( so, 12% will have 1 old through to 15 old and will start at 10k in each category , same with 13% - as the wine ages it moves up the lader so the goods now stocks more valuble wine-) .
EldradUlthran 25-nov-06 Rejected Allow players to use the Goods to post trades to each other in addition to selling directly to the goods. Without adding complexity for Tellers or other users. See details here Notes on the sub-page. [tpct] This has been voted on in the past and failed to pass ~CC The Goods Elders just voted against this (again) ~ MD
TpcT 26-nov-06 New A quick way for traders to transfer GS in credit to another user.
TpcT 01-dec-06 New A quick way for traders to delete their existing trade. Maybe better security, too.
EldradUlthran 03-dec-06 New While people are adding trades include what the cost per unit will be after (if) the trade they've entered goes through. This allows people to easily see if it is worth buying more units without having to calculate the marginal cost per unit on the fly.
EldradUlthran 4-Jun-07 New Allow exclusion and inclusion by catagory instead of just viewing of one catagory at a time. Or if this requires more visual space on the page than you'd like at the very least include a catagory of All-Except-Raeli.
MarvL 05-jun-07 New Change the color of the pending trade indicator to Magenta or some other color that provides a better contrast with the gray/green background, and consider bolding that particular entry. Also, underlining the column headers, displaying the directional arrow by default, or some such would make it more apparent that the columns are dynamically sortable.
EldradUlthran 18-06-07 New Keep alternating light/dark background color on lines when sorting by things other than Item Name. Currently if you sort the entries the background color moves with the commodity, not that big of a deal if it's difficult to change
Osmirik 25-Feb-2008 New Simple script to output current commodity values without logging in via CSV or XML.

Completed Items

Proposed ***Date*** Status Description Notes
TpcT 09-nov-06 Complete Make it easy for traders and tellers to tell which trades share items with other trades. This would mostly be to identify when a trade might change the value of another trade.
Implemented 11/22: Still may need some tweaking. Please let me know if you like this. (TpcT)
ba-dabing 09-nov-06 Complete Make the valuation page sortable by value of item (see The DEA's page) Implemented Nov 13. Let me know what you think. :) (TpcT)
*11-15-16 Working well. Thank You ! (ba-da)
solipsistos 10-nov-06 Complete How about a way to remove items from a trade? Currently if, for example, a user is selling 10 OSM and decides they don't want to include that in the trade at all, they would need to buy 10 OSM to cancel it out. A simple "Remove this item" button would be a great help. [Nov13-TpcT] thanks for the idea; checking to see how easy this would be. [Nov16-TpcT] Approved by the elders and implemented. Let me know if the look and feel sucks.
[Nov17-ba-dabing] I think it needs something on mouseover to let you know that's what the little red "x" is for (i.e. Remove this item). It's not that evident why the little red "x" is there.
[nov23-tpct:]little mouseover 'Remove' added; thanks!
TheGoods 16-nov-06 Complete Updates to the website to enforce a maximum per-item quantity limit of 30k [nov16-tpct] approved by the elders and implemented. please let me know of any problems, bugs, etc.
TpcT 21-nov-06 Complete programming to automatically bring up the trade corresponding to the currently logged-in user on the valuation page. it should still be possible to make trades as other people [dec01tpct:] approved by the elders and implemented. please let me know of any issues.
Promiscuous 12-nov-06 Reviewing Rename TheGoods to NoobGoods and start a new trading guild called GoodOleGoods that promotes free trade instead of red tape
*The most important goal of TG got lost - stockpile resourses. If I am a seller, I want my Goodscrip to worth more in the future. So TG's stockpile must always grow and grow faster than the natural resource inflation of the game (10 medium stones worth much less to me now than 4 month ago).
let us know how we might promote free trade and reduce red tape. we'll do our best to act on your suggestions, if we can. (tpct)
rwindmtg 17-Apr-07 Completed Showing the weight and bulk of what you are selling as well as what you are buying on the valuation page.
