    This is a feedback post not a bug report.

    Displaying 100 000 on various stacks of items makes the Merchant UI window to look too heavy.
    It is not needed to display such large stacks or to show the exact number of items in such large stacks in the UI.

    We feel like displaying "100 000" on various stacks of items in the Merchant UI window has the following issues:
    1) it makes the UI window feel like way too heavy
    2) it makes the UI window feel like too stuffed
    3) it is unnecessary to show the exact number of items in such large stacks
    4) it overwhelms the player
    5) it makes the game to feel even more and more like Spreadsheet

    How other companies solved the issue of displaying large stacks in their UI:
    • If a webstore has a stack of 342 items in store, then it displays them as "over 25+" instead of saying "342".

    Why even have quantities at all ? When you can buy as many as you want by simply opening and closing the window anyway what is the point?
    Just remove it. If someone tries to buy more than 100,000 at a time (which would be an absolutely unlikely/absurd thing to have happen) then it would just default you down to 100,000.

    Yes please.
    1-999
    since that is when it matters and then simply
    1k+
    for everything above, would be a great way to limit it to max 3 characters regardless of amount.

    Where if you really need to know the amount then if one hovers above the tooltip popup could display the exact amount.

    Yup.
    Hasn't been relevant since R14 when vendors got new stock by reopening trade. (Might be slightly off on the release but it is likely close).


    It defaults you down to 32k per drag, since the drag max is 32k.
    Which is kinda funny.
