Batch in game Auction Noftifications

Clicking Sucks.

The auction has way too many clicks - either buying things then getting thrown to the "all auctions" screen and having to retrace your steps, or selling - confirming and then dismissing the notifications everywhere.

PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE CLICKS

I'd love it if those little in game notifications from the auction house could be held/batched/queued up so you get a compound list of recent activities as the in game notification, not 1 for every auction item.

The goal would be to eliminate those cases when you first log in after a new test starts and you have 30 expired notifications that mean the first thing you do when you log in is have to click the same dumb message 30 times. And if you could delay them and send them out ever few minutes or so then you'd also save the case where someone buys 5 or 10 of the things you have up at once (like when you put a bunch of stacks of just 10 olive oils and you know they're going to be immediately sold to street project peoples).

There was one point today when I was feeding olive oil and mushrooms to the auction where I must have gone through the entire clickfest for about 50 auctions in 10 minutes - from buying to individually auctioning/pricing to each of the instant sold notifications. It was insanity, not game play.

  • We'll see about batching notifications which were queued when you were offline :)
