I know the going line is DIL/ZEN exchange is not broken but Not true, when I go to trade dil there are no traders showing but when I go to trading zen there is over 10 mil zen on the exchange, what gives?

    Sorry must disagree, go to Dil exchange you will see no sellers of zen but if you click on sell zen you will see sellers with 10 million zen who want dil, so that dog don't hunt.

    I think you're confused. The buy Zen page is blank because there is no Zen for sale. The sell Zen tab shows current offers for zen, 10 million zen worth of offers at 500 dilithium. See at the top where it says "Top Offers to buy ZEN"?

    It is true, the Zen exchange IS NOT broken. The demand for Zen is higher than the demand for Dil.....ie Zen sellers are not buying Dil. If there is no Zen listed to buy, then there is none, it is as simple as that. Cryptic are trying to address this, but, again, if folk are not buying Dil with Zen, then that's the way the cookie crumbles, and you'll have to wait.

    Yeah, OP, I'm afraid you're sorely misunderstanding how that works. It IS working. It's just that the laws of supply and demand are what govern it, and there is no huge demand for Dilithium at the moment. Sorry. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    By definition Available Amount would imply Quantities on-hand or in stock

    Yeah, dude, you're reading that wrong, and @husk10 has it right. That 10M Zen are offers FOR Zen, not offers OF Zen. In your image, we can clearly also see that you are attempting to buy 1386 Zen at 500 Dilithium/Zen. That is your OFFER to BUY, and it is part of that 10M Zen quantity.

    I do not dispute your explanation; my only gripe is with the way it is presented. Simply change the Heading from "Amount Available" to something like "Amount Pending" would stop confusion. I am an old English Teacher, set in my ways, so I will not stop correcting errors when I see them.

    Ok, now you're changing goal posts. You straight up say in your OP that the Exchange is broken and dispute anyone saying otherwise. Now, you're saying that the issue is it's not labeled properly. I'm a linguist, and I see no issues here, other than your interpretation. Since this is now effectively a rant/complaint that you're admittedly not going to be dissuaded from, there's no sense in continuing this discussion except to raise ire. /Thread
