Improved Trading UI

Replace the "Buy" & "Sell" tabs for Traders with a single "Trade" tab. You pay or receive the difference. Would greatly improve the flow for buying & selling. Instead of having to click the "Sell" tab every time you picked a trader you would simply click on a trader and start picking things from their inventory (on the left) to buy or from your stash (on the right) to sell. Color code all pending items in a "Trade" window (in the middle) something like red for the items you are selling from your stash and green for items you are buying from the trader. Basically the trader's inventory is on the left, yours is on the right and there is a trade window in the middle. You either pay or receive the difference.

Heh, the whole entire UI is from like 1999.  I seriously do not think they have a person that works on the UI at all.  It seems like they subbed it out on Fiverr and did not even pay an extra $5 to get any revisions...

It is probably one of the worse UI's I have seen in a game in probably 25 years.

This actually might look a little better:

You could split the middle "Trade" window in half and put the pending items to buy in the left side of the "Trade" window and the pending items to sell in the right side of the "Trade" window. That might look better than mixing them all together and color coding them. So basically when you click on a trader you'll have their inventory on the left side of the screen, your stash on the right side of the screen and a "Trade" window in the middle which would be split down the middle itself; separating the items you are pending to buy in the left half and the items you are pending to sell in the right half. Then it could display somewhere the amount to will either pay or receive from the trade.
