Can we please have quantity selector in more shops' menu?

[Aleczan]

I'd like to add in the DoL/DoH vendor in Mor Dhona, specifically cordials, better crowned pies, and FC III demimateria.

Ohhhhhhhhhh yes please!!!!!! That one too.

As a note, a quantity selector was NOT added to the scrip vendors. Instead, a new purchase option was added: 5 tokens for 250 scrips. This decision is a little annoying since I tend to buy 9 at a time, so it barely saves any time at all. I really wish they either gave us a real quantity selector or made it so you could buy 9x for 450 scrips. Most stuff you buy in bulk in this game, you want in groups of 9 anyway. The decision to make it only 5x baffles me.

Yeah I was talking to my miner friend that it was an "okay" emergency measure or something, but not really what we SHOULD get.

(As for you, Alistaire: I accept my post was too much off-topic - you are right about that. On the other hand, in that case please restrain your own comments to pointing that out, instead of arguing the point, and then saying any response to -your- comment should not be made, based on it being off-topic in thread. If you feel it's off topic, don't discuss it in the thread either. I made a separate thread like you suggested. Also in light of that, deleting the quote from the thread would make sense too - in order to fully remove the derailing topic from here)

On a related note, quantity selector would be great in market board trades too. It's... strange that you need to sell/buy stackable goods in -exact- quantities over the board. It's tedious and wasteful for the seller, and frustrating to buyer - because seller has to try to guess what exact quantity the buyer will want, and the buyer rarely finds the right quantity at right price. Why can't you just put the amount you want to sell in on single stack (up to 99 of course), and let buyer buy as many as they need like in any -reasonable- regular shop.

I guess it's one way to make people spend more sell slots than they would otherwise need, but from the perspective of both UI design and it's effect on gameplay, it's bad.

This is different and not something that will ever happen. If I want to sell a group of 23 rosewood logs as a bundle there's a reason for that and I wouldn't want you to be able to select to buy just 1, or 22, or whatever, other than how I listed it.

(and please don't reply derailing this thread further; this thread needs attention and not the kind that happens on derailed things; if you feel the need to keep voicing this opinion make a new thread so people can come in and say why it's a bad idea)

More on topic: same issue is present in Moonfire Faire. A very popular way to get tokens for buying the festival items is the battered fish quest. You need dozens of turn-ins, each requiring you to select npc, start quest, accept, select npc, select thing to turn in, accept, click-click-click. Yes, it's only once you have to go through the whole thing - and then not until the next year. But it doesn't change the fact you'll need hundreds of clicks to go through the process when all that was needed was a background story when first talking to NPC, then instead of quest-that-isn't-quest, make the NPC a merchant with quantity selector - who takes battered fish as payment.

If the problem is that the client itself doesn't support using anything other than gil in quantity selections (I don't recall seeing anything sold with other 'currency' with quantity selector), then a trade vendor with bulk options (say 1, 5, 10, 50) would be adequate in this case.

While we cannot answer for all shops at this time, we’re pleased to let you know that the dev. team is currently working on a quantity selector for items purchased through Grand Companies with company seals.
We ask you to be patient a bit longer until we can get this implemented. Thanks!

[Jamillion]

Awesome, thanks for the update Zhexos!

Good news at last - Good bye clicking for coke 500+ times!

(Random tip) You can use the numpad on the right of your keyboard to move the mouse around. 0 is 'Confirm', '8' is up, '4' is left, '6' is right. 7 and 8 change tabs. So if you wanted to buy coke, you'd move the cursor down to it (using 8 to get to the right tab, then 2 to scroll down to Coke).. then 0,4,0 to buy. Then spam 040040040040040040040 until you get the coke you want No more using the mouse!

This is all that matters. When I fill up my GC seals and have to spend them I cringe. I want 2 stacks of Coke, but I don't want to actually click enough times to get 2 stacks of Coke. It really wears out my fingers for no real reason.

Which makes it so much better, pushing 2 buttons instead of one for minutes!
