And I once bought an implant and missed a trailing 0, fortunatly it was cheap :)
That was me! Only lost 50 mil so not a big deal. First time I ever made the "error". It's lazy code and poor bullet proofing at the logic layer. Allowing this type of transaction in real world code gets you fired. |

None, this is a issue at the transaction layer, where it would ultimately have to be checked anyway. Oh, and you can shove your "eve is hard" BS someplace comfy. There's no excuse for lazy crappy code. |

Poor bullet proofing is always the developer's fault, always. |

Except that CCP aren't producing a finance-management program; they're producing a game. It's not their job to make sure that no-one using their software loses money.
Equivocation does not make a valid argument.

If you still enter a ridiculous price, then the correct response from the game is to assume that you know what you're doing - or do you also think that CCP should prevent people putting skill-books up for 100x the NPC price hoping to catch a lazy buyer, or buying up all the stock in a region and relisting at five times the price in an attempt to manipulate the market?
Nice strawman man, here look, a match. Fire burns, straw dies. |

It is a strawman, call em like I see them. Sorry that you do not like it. |

Equivocating twice, with the same argument, doesn't magically make it any more valid. Try again.
Raphael Celestine wrote: Then what, exactly, do you want the Devs to do?
A bubble sort and a loop to create a limit order is a simple matter. And again, you are arguing points not related to the issue. |

You are attempting to justify bad code with "Eve is a PVP game and it should be hard." If you do not see how you are attempting to equate poor design with "eve should be hard", then I can not help you.
The default behavior should act as a limit order. Pretty simple. If you really need to ability to place more 1 trit for a billion ISK orders, I'm sure someone will accommodate you. |

Fair enough, no harm done.
As for protecting player's from mistakes, typos etc. We'll just have to disagree. |
