To the Devs: Exchange Complaint

This may be a complaint rooted in unintended consequences, but Ive found that the limit of 400 results from searches has seriously limited my ability to find data samples.

Since items in that category can be sold in bundles and individually, what Ive seen happening is that many people sell them individually and this quickly fills up the search results so you cant find many/any bundled ones. This has been made worse since the exchange updates removed the limit of items a user can post per character.

For example I used to sell Tetryon samples in bundles of 10 mostly because I wanted to move them quickly. Where I can now sell as many as I want (and therefore get a better price) individually Id prefer to do that option .. but then so does everyone else. As a seller this doesnt bother me, but as a buyer it does.

As a buyer I want to of course find the best prices, which usually are the ones sold in very large bundles (50+ samples) which I cannot navigate to finding since the individual quantity sellers (such as myself) have clogged the search.

Can we either get the ability to see more search results beyond the first 400 or perhaps with items that stack get the ability to search by quantity? Maybe make quantity part of the name so its name searchable ?

    A filter by quantity should be added.

    However, I think the 400 search cap is due to lag concerns.

    A good idea. Backed up by an interesting point.

    I would also suggest returning the individual cap of 20. To help with lag concerns.

    At least with the old system, when it was 20 viewed at a time, you could continue getting more results ...
