Mini Requests

We are always looking for ways to improve the game. In fact, since the beginning player suggestions had played a major part in game design.

We read all suggestions.

That's a nightmare to accomplish. Although over the years we have improved it at many ways. The problem is that there are a lot of incoming/outgoing places. Loans, Bank Accounts, Credits Exchange, National Coffers, a series of holes and hand. Plus a whole lot of vendors/spenders such as market, each fleet, upgrades, repairs, hirings, etc. It's a nightmare.

I completely understand the magnitude and the nightmare of doing so, but could it be implemented it in sets or phases, not necessarily all at once. Like subset/tab the log into different transaction types. For instance a subset/tab would be skirmishes, plunder, banks, warehouse, etc.

For Example: In each log type, it would list, date/time, transaction type, pre-transaction GC amount, the transaction amount, then post transaction amount. If the transaction has a report associated, such as a battle, it would link on the transaction amount. Otherwise it would be just text.

Still,it's afar from a mini request. I am not sure it would worth to do this either. If you compare the magnitude versus the actual usage. If you also put in that we don't actually want to be so focused around gc, then it probably isn't worth it.

While we are at it, we have a meter that counts gold spent. However, this does not include ALL gold spend. But it should be the majority of it. Here is the top 20 list. I skipped the numbers part as it is a bit intimidating. Ordered by most to least.

Ok so it isn't exactly a mini request.

Is that all time gold expenditure or within a given period? The log wouldn't need to cover forever, maybe just the last 7 days (MAX), preferable last 3.

So onto something entirely different. Can we increase the message size on the Guild Discussion Page?
