    I can likely add a quick-fix to simply avoid giving any event if the value sold was less than X% of the total for sale. That would be relatively easy to do. But users may become confused by new money …

    What's the ETA on Stocks 3.0? I feel like this band-aid should at least be applied considering it's probably a good time away before we see anything regarding stocks 3.0... since it's never even been mentioned in the patch notes.

    Now, sales of only 5% or more of the remaining shares left for sale will produce events. Hopefully it doesn't cause too many bug reports. Thanks.

So when stocks eventually do sell, to players, you end up with shite like this (from a friend):

Yes, that's 44 pages, ~1100 events.


I would like to suggest that a "Suppress Events" checkbox is added to the Portfolio page when you list a stock.

et voila.


If this is selected, everything will function as normal, the only difference will be that for the relevant stock you will not receive any notice of a sale other than money appearing in the form of a bank cheque.

Please.

If possible, it could send a message when every like 10% is sold? As I think it would be good to at least get *some* notification.

Anyways R+

I feel like the point of this thread is rub it in everyone's face that you sold your SYM, lucky bastard.

But I agree with the idea. Make it happen, bogie! The person who buys 1 share drives me into a near homicidal rage every time.

I don't understand why someone dropped close to 1b shares of SYM into the market in the first place. Wouldn't it have made sense to trickle the stocks out and waiting until they sold before dropping more? Because sure, SYM hit 500 or whatever it was at one point... but dropping so damn many shares on the market all at once pretty much guaranteed that demand would tank and players would wait until SYM hit a lower price. Being a bit more patient and selling a BB at a time would likely have been more profitable.

Wanna see my 4K events from one stock lol. I have to disable notifications on the mobile app. Pretty much constantly going off as people find it funny to buy 1 share at a time.


So yah if you send me an event chances are I don’t see it.

Yup I’m at like 14 pages of events from SLAG player sales right now. I get so many it’s insane. I got one earlier today when a single bloody share sold.


I think I would prefer the suppress events to only work under a threshold though. If the sale was more than 100M in value perhaps you should still get an event?
