    Hey! Before starting off, I'd like to say that I understand the need for the new shop system as I've been told this will be better on the overall server's performance. I'd also like to say that it brings some very useful features as allowing trusted or coop members to access them, which will save much headaches.

    I also understand that this shop system is new and that some tweaks might be needed. That is why some of these suggestions have also been posted under the Bug Report forums section, but as I wasn't sure if those were actual bugs or feature (or rather lack of), I decided to include them in here.

    The first suggestion I'd like to make is related to the new shop searching feature. This feature is definitely handy, but I feel like some filters could improve the usability. The biggest one I noticed is that there is no way to figure out if a shop as any transactions available unless you click on it and teleport to it, then left click the shop sign. I would suggest showing the number of transactions available on the GUI directly. Another way that could work is that shops with 0 transactions available would simply be filtered out.

    My second suggestion is related with the new shop display. When you had a shop buying items, the item other than the grass block would be used as the item displayed. Now, it only shows the grass block. It would be nice if we could select the item we want displayed. This new way of doing this causes some weirdness. For example, some shops taking donations can't even display anything or others where you buy items for grass blocks simply show a grass block.

    My third suggestion is related to the actual shop signs. As seen on one of the previous image, because the items "Block of Grass" is too long, we are unable to view the quantity of that item required for the trade. I'm not really sure how this could be fixed with this new system so I am open to suggestions from other players. It could definitely be useful to be able to see the number of quantities available without having the left click every shops.

    My fourth suggestion has been also filled under Bug Report. Items displayed in "Stand" mode are shown sideways, which isn't particularly useful. I don't think any other explanations are needed here.

    My fifth suggestion would be to bring back notifications related to players interacting with shop that we own. These may seem basic, but it was very useful to know when a player was buying or selling something and that the shop would run out of grass or of said item. I know this feature was also very useful to casino owners.

    My last suggestion would be to add the shop owner's name to the info shown while left clicking a shop sign. We use to be able to view this information but it is no longer possible.It can definitely handy to know who you are buying or giving items to.

    I believe that is all. Feel free to let me know your thoughts and how these could be improved. Hopefully some of those bugs/features can be improved in the future. :)

    If the quantity could be displayed in front of the item name it would solve the issue of long item names. If the item is displayed, we know what we’re buying and really just need the quantity.

    Like the "old" shop system. Right. Totally makes sense.

    Yes, without the quantities displayed it makes it really hard for people to know what they are buying.

    Hey, it'd be best if you split all your suggestions into multiple threads.

    I can do that once I have some free time.
