Not in patch notes, but thank you.

Missing from the patch notes:

When you go to sell a stack of items in the trading post it now defaults with the quantity slider set to max amount so you can instantly sell a whole stack at once.

Not sure if this was changed the same day or earlier, but I noticed when buying an item it defaults to the lowest sell price so you can buy it instantly without having to manually select it. I think the new TP had it default to the highest buy order so you had to manually select lowest sell order to buy instantly, otherwise you end up placing an order and having to hope someone sells it for that much.

Thanks Anet for the improvements, but next time please include this stuff in the patch notes. For things like this that players ask for it would be nice if we knew about it.

I wasn’t aware that this happened, Charrbeque. (Dang I <3 that name!)

As you know, we pride ourselves on having very detailed update notes; it’s part of the transparency policy we try to exhibit across the board. But sometimes there are so many working parts — or working teams — that something gets missed in the notes.

I just talked to two folks in QA and with some team members who work on the Trading Post. This is a new element, as you pointed out, but I don’t know precisely when it was implemented.

Thanks for posting to make us aware that we might want to add to the notes, and thanks for your positive reaction to the change!

I checked with the developer and yes, that was part of the September 22nd build. I don’t know that I should go into published notes and add a string about that, but you are right, it was added on that date (and I agree, it’s a positive that I would have loved our players to see. )

Essence Snow.3194:
Every single major update has several changes not mentioned in the update notes though.

Yes, and I’m asking about that. I’m not new to ArenaNet, but I’m rather new to having greater Update Note visibility, and I’d like to understand things better.

This is one move to the off topic that I happened to love.
