huh?

Instead of paying 1 bil for the cerberus, it should only have taken a maximum of 110 mil. Have to agree - Kara, did you send a polite evemail to the person you overpaid? Human nature is often kinder than we think

OP in wrong corp

Yes, of course, It was also petitioned, Just in case.

The corp, gives me quite a few contract slots, its the right corp.

Hmm. I have had a similar experience but I had made a profit on it. I had a market sell order up for a certain item at 110,000 isk but somehow someone paid me an even 1mil for the item. I had to triple check it to make sure they didn't buy more than 1 or if it was a different item. I think the market is bugged a little bit.

If someone clicks sell order of 1 mil that is at the same station as your sell order, but your sell order is lower, then you get the sale for the 1 million, regardless of how much lower your sell order is.

The sale always goes to the lowest seller, even if the buyer clicks a more expensive listing.

People can mistakenly click an order that isn't the lowest sell if the orders are sorted by something other than price, such as jumps.

In my opinion this is working as it should be.

Currently, if there are several sell orders of one item, say:

10 units at 140,000 ISK
15 units at 140,100 ISK
5 units at 140,200 ISK

If I want to buy them all, I can either manually buy each, or I can pay 30 x 140,200 ISK (i.e. a little extra) to get everything at once.

With proposed change, I could buy them all with single order without paying any extra. I prefer for it to cost extra to do this.

Eve players and their crappy fat fingers.

You're assuming that it wasn't a design decision.

OP enters buy order at over 100X market price. OP must have ignored market warning for buying at over 50% region retail price. OP petitions, OP gonna be sad with CCP response.

I once bought 3 Plex for 30M each on 3 contracts from same guy before I actually messaged him and told him what he was doing. <--- Kind of feel happy/sad about the message to him, I wonder how many more he would have placed?

Plan better, make sure your will is high and you're using mind skills when placing buy/sell orders.

You're assuming that it wasn't a design decision.

I'd love to read the text of your petition. "CCP THE MARKET SYSTEM WHICH HAS WORKED THIS WAY FOR YEARS IS BUGGED!"

Stupid design doesn't make bad code good.

It's not bad code, it's just simple code. What you want is a new feature.

Like someone else pointed out, the whole reason for the current system is this

Sell orders:
1) 3 isk 100k units
2) 3.01isk 100k units
3) 3.02 isk 100k units

If you want to purchase 300k units, you can either do 3 separate purchase for the listed prices, or do one large purchase of 3.02 for 300k units.

This is a FEATURE. It makes purchasing stuff easier.

What you want is an extra feature. You want it so you can go in and put 4isk for 300k units, and have the program purchase each order at their listed prices "up to" 4 isk or your selected volume, whichever comes first.

I do agree that this automation would help, but it isn't "bad" code, it's just simpler code.

Excuses
