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.
As a Merchant and seller of resources I find I do this a lot. I miscount the 0's. Usually to the benifit of the customer but at least onece it went the other way and I placed 10k of fine polymer up for 400,000c instead of 40,000c. I repriced it cause I did notice but sooner or later I would have to contact a customer and apologize.

Well, I'd like to comma -ent on the question. Parenthetically speaking, it we were thrown this caret, it would cause an exclamation of joy.No dev wouldput his asterisk byadding such a featurein the period bracketed by two publishes. It would slash the number of errors for them to dash it out. Untilde later, all!
Oh, and /sign.

A really good idea.
Just look at this
One million credits
1000000
1,000,000
One million six hundred and seventy four thousand, three hundred and eighty two
1674382
1,674,382
It really makes a big difference!

I never responded because you guys didn't need any bolstering from me. Its a fairly straightforward idea. There hasn't been an opportunity to pass this along yet as the devs have been working on other things, however when our revamp comes after JTL and combat balance this will be one of the ideas presented. There will be opportunities to review our lists of issues and features before then.

Commas would be a very welcome change.
Dont see how it has to be a merchant revamp thing. Everyone's affected. Unleash the commas now!

I thought about this awhile and guess it would be a good thing now. I have sold 100k items for 10k a few times and 10k items for 1k more then a few times. (Lord I hate restocking:smileymad
