Don't get me wrong here, I have no intention of over-dramatizing a minor complaint. Also, I don't know if this has been discussed before, mainly because I'm too tired/lazy to actually check, so I apologize if I ended up starting a thread similar, if not the same, to an existing thread.

I'll be blunt, my concerns are about,
"All energy depot trades that complete when you are offline will now have resulting crowns and energy sent via mail" - April 16, 2014

It's been a good amount of time since this was implemented, and I've tried to bear with it, though I'd honestly prefer not to have to accept 10's - 100's of mails every time depot market trades go through while I'm offline. I understand that this concern is likely limited to those that use the energy market a lot. And I also understand that the developers/staff likely have reasons for adding this new system. However, I personally believe that the former system was, well, more comfortable I suppose. Before anything is misunderstood, I'll make it clear that I'm not trying to put any negative connotations at all. I personally appreciate the effort/thought placed into updating additional parts of the game. Though I still wanted to voice out my concern in a calm manner and sincerely apologize if my thread hurt anyone's feelings; even in the slightest.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post,

These mails are becoming a problem now, if i sell 100 k ce, i'll have to accept 1000 mails which will take a lot of time out of my playing time.

So true!!

The day i logged in after this update, i was so annoyed at the stupidity of it....25 emails of the same. I dunno if there was a complaint of the previous system, but i can't imagine there was much. Nor can i imagine the irritation some of my friends with 100kce+ might have to go thru with this ((rolls eyes)).

Move to suggestions.
I haven't yet experienced this issue, but as a person pushing a lot of energy around I can see this becoming a big problem in the future.
A toggle would be nice, if not a revert.

This has already been suggested and discussed before...

What surprises me the most is how someone has to apologise for raising a concern. Is this community famous for being too sensitive?

You've been here long enough to know the answer to that.

While we're at the energy topic...

...is there any point in posting "buying energy" offer? Those seem absolutely redundant, unless a big exhange rate drop happens while you're offline.

I wasn't using the auction before this change was implemented. Was the old system basically just automatically updating your inventory?

I like the system as it helps me keep track of my actions between game sessions. However, I think there needs to be an option of either condensing or removing this. What do people think of an option that condenses identical trades (as in same item) by three, by five, or by ten?

Reasons reasons

At the original post said OOO must have their reasons what if instead of the old way

you get a mail that gives you crowns or energy for selling or buying

if you happen to again sold or brought energy or crowns offline instead of getthing another message it update or stacks with the old message so when your online you only need to accept one that has listed all your transactions
