Change to "Modify Order"

Too many times when refreshing 200+ orders for the n-th time, one of them slips in without one of the zeros (maybe it’s human error after doing it for the 20 000th time, maybe it’s a stutter eating an input, doesn’t matter), and you end up selling the items immediately for 1/10th of the sell price.

The “warnings” the market gives for too high or low prices do not catch these, nor are they useful anyway, as they are oftentimes false (and NOT given for the wrongfully cheap price) and need to be ignored 99% of the time when they do show up. The game outright teaches the player a habit of ignoring this warning, by presenting it falsely all the time.

I suggest this annoyance be rid of, once and for all:

  1. Give players the option to disallow “Modify order” selling items directly to buy orders and instead just fail (I don’t care if it’s silent or not). By making it a toggled option, no-one should have any grievances with it.

Or.

  1. Give players an extra warning when “Modify order” would result in selling the item directly, and make the default action for that warning window be “cancel modification” when enter is pressed, so this cannot happen by accident.

I blame the lag at Jita…
