![]() The skinning trainer isn't as cooperative as the Prospecting Trainer either. I go back to the Jewelry Trainer and she offers me Abrasive Polish again (WRONG I should get offered at the very least the last thing I bought) I want to make some jewelry so i go to the Crystal Cutting Trainer and buy Fine Polish and when i click on the Crystal Cutting bench Amethyst Stone is selected (WRONG if you go by the Prospecting Trainer then Citrine Stone should be selected) Now I want to buy some wax to make the jewelry but the Jewelry Trainer has selected Abrasive Polish (WRONG This is a Jewelry Trainer and should at least offer me some sort of Wax as the default) I go and make a piece of jewelry and need to get more wax. When I click the tab for Strips it has Tattered Strips selected (WRONG it should remember which column i am buying from and Fine Strips should be selected) The same thing happens when you click the other tabs. he should show me Strong Flux at least) I click the tab for Sharpening Stones and select my Fine Sharpening Stones. I then go to the Weaponsmith Trainer to buy some Fine Sharpening Stones and Smooth Strips but the selected item is Weak Flux (WRONG. Iron bars are selected (NICE i bought strong flux to make iron bars this is helpful). I login for the first time and go to Slice'n'Dice and buy Strong Flux from the Prospecting Trainer and then go to the forge to make some iron bars. WRONG it should remember the last selected item, not an item from another window) (somewhere it remembered the selection from the farming trainer. I run out of compost so I then doubleclick the compost bin and even though there are only 2 items in that window an empty item in the second row is selected. Then to the farming trainer I select the tab for food seeds and then an item from the second row and buy it. I go to the compost bin and make some compost with my shit and a little bottle. The crafting windows are a PITA to use!!! The defaults are bad and there is no rhyme or reason to the selected item when you open a window. These things seem so trivial compared to the stuff they are working on? The guys at Hunted Cow are probably so involved in graphics engines, finite state machines and graphic design to worry about the consistency of the user interface design. User interface design is a skill in itself and the crappiest websites are where the authors have amazing ideas and are so involved in the nuts and bolts of their ideas that they forget, can't be bothered, don't know how, or just don't care how their ideas are presented. I usually just go back to google and find a different site because it pisses me off so much. You do similar tasks on consecutive pages but they are a little bit different and inconsistent. ![]() I really hate websites that have a user interface that is inconsistent.
