This is a very, very simple fix, and it would sure save my eyeballs from unnecessary strain. Ever went shopping for big items that are in the 10+ million range? Usually, it's not big deal for people, but when you carry ALOT of cash and you think that something said 5 million when it really is 50 million, you're not gonna be too happy. Wouldn't you MUCH rather see this ...


10,000,000 than

10000000



It's not like we're asking for a lot here. I would think this would be a fix that could be done in 10 minutes heh... Please sign this! Maybe just maybe some good will come out of this. Commas are our friends

Well I was talking in-game about this and people didn't care at all. I actually got the feeling that people enjoyed the numbers WITHOUT commas...Am I in the minority here? It's not like we're asking a lot...


I litterally have a hard time trying to figure out what the price is. Counting unsperated 0's is not easy for my eyes. Or maybe i'm just a moron I don't know.

I'd say, yes, you are in the minority. I agree with you and I usually am.

I would like to se something like this as well. Therefore, I am rather sure this presence for seeing numbers with commas is a very small majority.
Most people properly buy from a regular supplier and do not worry about this, as they know the price range. Or the rely on the boards or spam shouting to get the prices in the 10M format.

I want to see the commas added as well -not just on price but on quantity as well. I was buying resources from a vendor that had 1500 stacks listed and was trying to pick up a bunch of 100k unit stacks at 200,000 each. I was clicking away at the buy button and then realized I inadvertantly bought a 10k stack of the same reosurce that was mispriced at the 200,000 price instead of 20,000. The lack of commas on both quantity and price cost me an extra 180,000 credits. I know this doesn't affect that many people, but it seems like it is a fairly easy issue to fix in comparison to the big Merchant Prof issues.

Oh heck yeah. It makes a big difference when you want to pay 100k for something and not 1mill.

I'd like this as well. I frequently tip cash to people in the millions to make payment for salaries and i hate stopping to count the zeros to me sure i'm tipping 3M and not 30M

I truly don't understand why this wouldn't have been put in during the initial development phase - seems like such a rudimentary requirement that it's almost laughable.


Anyway, yup - fully agree.

I'll go for some of those, nothing like a nice comma every now and again..

I definitely want commas. I sell full runs of BE tissues for 1 million plus. The reason I like this idea is that there is one pro (ease of reading) and no cons. That doesn't happen often.
