Something you may want to fix, in one of my auctions i stated I was selling a necro spell and would trade it for an FBSS and it showed on the site that I was selling an FBSS, so I got bombarded with tells ; ;.

Hey Aposi. Thanks for the feedback!
That is indeed an issue but not one our very tiny team can easily address. The parsing engine has some intelligence to it but its not Watson. It isn't actually deconstructing syntax and grammar, so it has some trouble with more complex statements. Its smart enough to catch about 98% of context switches between buy and sell but falls flat when people get into situational trade scenarios scenarios like you've described. e.g. I want to do X, but i can do Y with X. . or Z. . but if Q happens then S and X is fine as well.
It is what it is I guess. I can certainly acknowledge and appreciate the concern but there is little I can do to address it. We parse about 98% of items correctly, according to random sampling, which I feel is acceptable. Its not perfect nor can we strive for perfection given the budget we have ($0 per month). If there is anyone reading that has experience parsing these types of scenarios and wants to offer some guidance or contribute to the project, email me! I'm happy to listen to your advice.

P.S. The new auction alert system hit QA on Monday. Shouldn't be long now I hope!
