[SUGGESTION] - Option to force faust buy exacly how much is asked

*Issue:* Sometimes i want to bulkbuy for example 60 scarabs each worth 20c. And for some reason Faust will close trade by buying half of what i asked. I want an option to disable that thing

Pretty sure this is because the amount you wanted and the price you where paying for them ran out. Your buying from other players not an infinite source.

You told Faustus how many and for how much, if that deal runs out trust me you don't want Faustus just "assuming" you are willing to pay the next guys price.

Or maybe you do, but it could be a disaster in some situations.

Well, it kinda should keep the deal up with same price for 1 thing. When i want to buy 20 scarabs for 40c it means i want to buy 1 scarab for 2c in amount of 20, and i want to have this as an option to enable

GGG should do it how Jagex did it for the Grand Exchange in Runescape: If you buy something and overprice what you're willing to pay, it'll start by buying you the cheapest items on offer first and work its way up until you get the desired amount.

Same applies the other way. Sell low, the game will then sell to the highest buyers first before working down.

I am pretty sure that it's not because of this. If there is no such trade with desired price, then it will stay at Faustus screen until someone sold it to you.

I think this happens because of fractional pricing (either on your side, or on seller side), like 1:1.67, it buys some currency for desired price or even cheaper and sometime stops.

Anyway in 99% cases it not a big problem, because Faustus give you 95%+ desired currency. In very rare cases it gives you only ~60% and stops, and you need to put order for another 40% again.

No it is, the example you provided is if you are buying and that listing "did not exist at all" then yes Faustus will wait until someone does maybe meet your order "if at all".

What is happening in other cases is that the amount for that price DID exist at the time of order for when you listed to buy them, but you wanted 100 of them and only 40 was available for that price; so Faustus buys out all that he could and returns you the change.

It is possible Faustus could stop returning the change and finishing the order immediately and instead keeping the listing up until filled, but I'm sure there is some reason GGG has it set this way.
