Is there anyway we can get the trading info changed back to how it used to be; where you could see both the stats for both buying and selling rather than have it only give half of the info pending if your game is in offers/requests?
This new way is rather annoying
I'm going to agree with you on this, it's really annoying. Sometimes I want to know how many people are also in line for the game and how many are actually able to trade (since the position number is still inaccurate due to all of the people who aren't "ready").

Why was it changed? I can't see any value in giving users less information.
At least there's the 'view trading info' button right above the trading info.
i usually have the new window my stats in it open right next to the opposing stats. It's annoying, but it's only a one click difference.
I agree I find the new way rather annoying myself, I liked seeing both sides of the stats.
CoffinDancer: Why was it changed? I can't see any value in giving users less information.
Agreed. Why the decrease in functionality?
I agree, it should go back to the old way.
I also agree to have it changed back to the origional format as it allowed me to see how many where offering and requesting.
Like everyone else, I liked the old way a lot better.
Hello,
I know we changed the Trading Info without posting a specific announcement, and I want to give here a rationale behind the change:
First of all, the old "numbers" where inherently wrong: if you were requesting a game and were looking at the trading info for the requests, the numbers were not giving you a real image of the requests: the numbers indicated what requests were available to you if you had offered the game (rather than showing the situation of the request queue where you belong to).
Second, there was a problem of performance as the trading info tab was slowing down the server and affecting all pages on the site, with information that was not correctly tailored to the reader.
Therefore, in order to provide more consistent and "true" values, we have decided to change the Trading Info in the following way:
1) if you have not listed the game in your requests or offers lists, then the Trading Info tab shows both sides: the number of requests available should you decide to offer the game, and the number of offers available should you decide to request the game.
2) if you list the game in either your requests or offers list, then the trading info tab will only show the stats that relate to how you have listed the game (does not make sense to show the "other side"). So for example, if you have listed the game in your Requests list, the trading info will show the number of Offers that are available for a match with you.
It is not our intention to take away important information, rather we want to simplify how this info is provided.
As an additional step (to be completed soon) we will add the "other side" of the trading info to the "trading stats" pop-up: with this addition, when you open the trading stats (from either your game list, or from the trading info tab) you will see the full "picture" of the queue, including all other requests or offers for the same game. Basically, you will have similar info as it was available before in the trading info tab, but the new info will be more precise and tailored to your position in the queue and your trading region.
This last piece of update is not available yet: please bear with us and be patient while we finish the update. I'm sure you will appreciate the complete set of information provided!
Okay then, that explains it a little more. If it was slowing down things, than by all means it's better that it was made this way.
This update does sound interesting and in fact could be faster, since we won't have to click through the game's title/picture in our requests/offers, then click on the "trading info" tab to see the "full" trading info; it will save us a few clicks and some loading time.
