[SUGGESTION] MERCHANT TAB ANTI SCAM - BUYER CONTROL OPTIONS



TRADE SETTINGS
It is a sliding window that can be extended/retracted by clicking on the box icon.
One can select up to 5 currencies and price limit them as shown.

Limit to selected currency
This will grey out all items that do not meed the selected currency.
As showcased with the item on the top-lefthand-side.
You are unable to buy greyed out items.

Display selected currency
This will display toggle-able icons of the selected (up to 5) currencies.
Below the icon, the price is limit displayed, when quick buying.
By clicking on the icon, example Divine Orb, you can deselect it.
This will result in the icon being crossed out and have all items that are
listed for Divines to have a red hue, you are unable to buy them.

If, like shown here, we set the price limit to 0 Divines, it will grey
out all items that cost more than 0 Divines. If the limit is set to 1 Divine,
all items that cost more than 1 Divine will be greyed out, you are unable
to buy those of a higher price.

Disable Quick Buy
When we select all the above options we are limiting our spending per item.
However, when enabling Disbale Quick Buy, all the above restrictions apply
their on screen effects/filters but we are allowed to buy items. A small window pops up,
showing the item and price (similar when listing an item) and have you
confirm that you want to buy an item above your set price limit.

This will add a grace period of x seconds for you to consider buying the item or not.
If you don't do anything the small window closes and the item can be bought by
another person. You are also prohibited for another y seconds from rebuying.
This should prevent spamming or locking up items who run automated software.

* Players need more control when engaging with asynchronous trade.
** I am unsure if a grace period is benificial or not when dealing with trade.
*** I hope this reaches the Dev's to have it deployed in POE 1 too.
**** It is an idea / concept rather than an exact wish for implementation.

Best and quicker solution than this is to pop up a window when transferring the item and provide currency cost. Then Yes/No window to buy it.

End of story with smiled faces...
Having an extra step deletes the whole purpose of the implementation,
it makes the buying process more annoying and tedious.
A mid-step increases the buying time by 2 fold.
The feature itself is a great QoL addition, it needs security measures thoe.

Click and Go, as the Quick Buy is intended.
Making trade easy, fast AND secure.

For high value buying there is still the option for "Disable Quick Buy".
