First, thank you for providing the Exchange in the first place. It's always nice to have a central service for selling and buying between players. There are, however, some suggestions I'd like to make to create a more friendly interface.

- Allow us to sort by price. Not only are most of us intelligent enough to know that we want to buy the cheapest version of whatever we're looking for, it means the market for all those people listing their items for insane prices will go away. (While I agree they have the right to charge whatever they wish, they are clogging up the exchange listings with stuff that will, likely, never actually sell.)

- Allow multiple word searches that aren't verbatim. Typing in a search for "Phaser Array Mk II" won't return any results, because you forgot that the word "Beam" fits in there. It'd be nice to have a system smart enough to realize our mistakes for us, and adapt. :)

- Give us a listing of the previous sale prices. For some of us players who really have no idea what people are willing to pay for an item, this is a wonderful tool. I realize that this is probably a complicated addition, of course.

- Give us a blind auction system, like City of Heroes. People hate it and people love it. I happen to be one of the latter. I find that these types of auctions have enough benefits for both sides to be worth implementing.

Now I'm sure some of the playerbase will agree and disagree with my various suggestions, and I encourage feedback from all of them. I simply ask that it be kept constructive.

    What exactly do you mean by that? Like "Phasers/Disrupters/Mines/etc" under Weapons? That would be handy indeed. :)
