What does

Select purchase type:
Purchase constant amount
Purchase up to amounts

Mean? There are no instructions anywhere... Not noob friendly, nor vet friendly!

Also, if the price changes for a split second, and you go to buy the goods, the page just loads again with no error message.

I guess my FFA control panel page is different. Mine has instructions on it.

Excellent find!

EXCEPT, it doesnt say anything about the terminology of what

Select purchase type:
Purchase constant amount
Purchase up to amounts

means or how those two options differ. =P

I guess you didnt read the post well.

There are instructions. I did read the post well.

Go use a dictionary if you don't know what "constant amount" is.

For those who don't have English as their first language, they should be willing to consult a dictionary if they don't know what a word means, rather than requesting that we make it friendly for them and provide definitions for words. If we start using words that are quite rare in the English language, that could be a problem, but you really don't need much of a vocabulary to play this game and understand all of the words in it.

Oooohhhhh so you want to make it harder for the end user (aged 13 and up) to play the game? Last time i checked, dictionary's contain words, not phrases, and are not part of this website. So you want someone to navigate away from this site to try to find the meaning specifically related to this game behind those phrases because the devs cannt add two more sentences to that paragraph, especially on a mobile device?

Yep, make sense to me too =P Great website design.

I am with LI on this one, easier to understand=better. Not that we need to define every little thing but I can see how that would be a little confusing.

BTW: to answer your question. "constant" amount means you will buy however many you type in but "up to" amount means you will by however many you need to get to that amount. ex. you want 200k bushels but already have 50k. You type in 200k and check the "up to" box and you will buy 150k which would give you 200k total.

on a seperate but related note, I got this when I tried to by bushels on the control panel today. I wandered to this thread thinking it was gonna be the same issue.

xxxxxx (#xxxx) purchased 36 Bushels for $12,960.
Some of these goods were purchased for a better price on the private market of xxxxxxx (#xxxx).

I tried to buy 100k bushels at $35 but someone must have bought all but 36 right before I tried. Thankfully it didn't actually buy any bushels from my pm. lol Maybe just the wrong text was pasted into the field?

TTT

I added more text to hopefully make it clearer.
