Suggested (minor) change to Dilithium Exchange

I really like the dilithium exchange. It's interesting to see that CP sellers want to sell their CP for high quantities of DL, at the same time the CP buyers want to pay as little as possible DL for CP :) Supply/Demand is interesting economics.

I would, however, like to make a suggestion to the "Top Offers to sell/buy Cryptic Points" table. Granted, most players will want to the highest prices at the time. I'd like to see a larger list, though. I might be happy to part with a reasonable quantity of CP because I'm after some DL, or have a large quantity of Dilithium and want to get some CP. Now I can put an offer out there, but I've got no idea if it falls within the market because I can only see the top 5 offers.

Here's 2 suggestions:
  1. Show the top 10 offers. That gives players a better indication of the market. Imagine of the "other" exchange only showed you the top 5 most expensive items.
  2. Allow a search to search for offers within a specified price range. I would like to buy some Dilithium and want to see which buyers of CP falls within the range of Dilithium I'm prepared to accept. Or to search for sellers wanting to sell CP for prices I'm willing to pay.

It would be helpful to others like myself that want to play the DLEx like the stockmarket :D

    1) The problem with this is that we already have buyers/sellers varying their pricing by 1 unit - you'd just end up with a longer list of tiny variances - the short list we've got now forces exchange users to adapt to the current demand (not saying I'm opposed to it though).

    2) I don't see how this would work - as a seller you're generally going to want to get the maximum return for your C-Points/Dilithium - the current system allows you to do just that. Also, same-cost deals are grouped into pools so its not like you're dealing with individual sellers most of the time anyway...

    It still comes down to the fact that my offers are being limited. If my offer to buy/sell is below the top 5, I have no chance of selling/buying CP. Hence the reason why I made the suggestions in my OP.

    Also interesting to see that the prices offered for CP is much lower than the asking price for CP
