I so agree with this. The new contracts system for auctions really bites. You can't search all regions at once, you have to manually go through each region one at a time, and then you have to go through and browse every single page/item to TRY and find what you are looking for.
Problems:
1) Can't search all Regions at the same time
2) Can't sort by price/name
3) Can't search for particular items
To be honest I like the old Escrow better. There was no 'flash', just plain jane details/information. Now you're got this convoluted interface to try to make it all nice and shinny. Not needed in my opinion. |

Definitely the Regional Browsing needs to be improved. It's a nice feature to be able to search one Region. But what about search all Regions at once? Or like 5 regions at a time like Murder One just suggested above?
We really need to be able to explore more then 1 region at a time. This makes it very time consuming. I don't want to spend half my time on EVE searching for things off Auction list. I want to spend my time doing other things like: PvP, Missions, Hauling, etc... |

Personally I think limiting it to one region at a time is going to further condense people. My reasoning is I tend to look in my current region then in maybe 1 other and the other is what I consider to be the most populated to get the most results. I see this as regions that done have high population being neglected forcing these peeps to move their goods to populated areas. The old escrow system showed all regions which was one way for people in outlying areas to "feel" connected to hubs at least a little.
Couldn't agree with you more. Just means that J-MART (JITA - The Wal-Mart of EVE Online) will become even more crowded and condensed then ever before as people move their stuff to a more centralized location to be put onto Auction/Escrow.

Isn't that what market is for? Now if only CCP put ALL (faction/officer) items on market we would not have this discussion and people would not use Contracts for normal sales/purchases.
Good throught, unfortunately putting the Faction/Officer items on the market still won't solve anything, since you can only view one Region at a time on the Market.  |

I just tried bidding on something in a different region and received this message:
"This contract is the Heimatar region. You can only access outstanding public contracts in the region you are currently in."
Am I missing something obvious or can you really only bid on auctions in the same region?
Yeah, only in the same region. You can view other contracts, but only bid on the ones in your region.
I encountered this same problem last night when I tried to buy "Gistis" in J-MART (Jita).
I don't know if CCP intended it to work this way, but this seems to be a little backwards then it used to work because in the old system you were able to buy anything no matter where it was located. |

3) Can't search for particular items
Try the filtering options and type "Gist" for example.
Viola. Items with "gist" in the name displayed. You can also search for specific items, from a wee pop up box list.
Its rocks. 
Thanks Twilight! Much appreciated. |
