After using the new trade window for a few days, I’ve gathered some more impressions on the new page, and improvements I hope to see
Robux
In the “value” total, robux used to be calculated before marketplace fee, and it is now calculated after the marketplace fee
Example
Old window:
New window:
despite having the exact same items, and amount of Robux added, the “Value” differs by 300 R$ between the new windows due to the new calculation, this issue only scales as you add more Robux to trade, making your trades look progressively worse. (I.e if you add 10,000 R$, the value would be different by 3,000 R$)
Placement of value
This one is nitpicking (and a little hard to explain) because I’ve been using the Trade system for so long and my eyes just go to certain locations for certain information, but “Value” used to appear in the top right corner, it now appears in the bottom left corner.
Example
Apologies in advance for the length of this one.
I know this is not how the window is intended to be viewed, but the current placement always has me looking in the wrong places for the information I’m seeking. Pictured below is an example of how the layout has confused me.
(hope you like my MS paint edit)
Old window for comparison (has you looking in the top right corner for Value):
New window (has you looking in the bottom right corner for Value) : with a suggestion*
I would really like to see the Value totals moved to their legacy locations.as is shown above.
Language on outbounds
(Another nitpicking suggestion) With the old trade page, canceling outbound trades used the words “cancel” now it says “decline”, overall the outbound trades share more with inbounds than before
Example
Shown below is the old window using the word “cancel”
Shown below is the new window using the word “decline”
Very minor suggestion, however, any improvement is positive!
random minor bugs I ran into while using the new page:
Header missing from counter trade window
the “Trade with [username]” header is missing when you counter a users trade
How it looks like with a normal trade window:
How it looks like when you counter
Cancel outbound has trade filter suggestion
Canceling an outbound trade with the new page shows the trade filter suggestion that previously only shown when declining an inbound trade.
Circled is the message mentioned
Example of the old window for reference
overall thoughts
I’m very pleased with the new trade page, my feedback listed above come from the standpoint of a user who uses the trade system on a daily basis, and as a veteran trader who’s been trading for 8 years. (I actually checked and my first trade was on 7/14/12 ) while I was nitpicking, the new trade page is still a huge improvement over the old, outdated page.
