These ideas come from the minor ideas thread. We shall not be voting on these ideas, as that would be to time consuming. However if you have any last minute suggestions or criticisms here is the place to voice them. Otherwise these ideas shall be presented to the developers like any other idea unless there are any comments stating why they shouldn't.
Please note some of the posts were modified to include comments that were posted and I also reformatted/reworded posts to meet posting guidelines.
Ive made a notation in the minor ideas where Minor Ideas #10 stops and Minor Ideas #11 will begin. So keep submitting.

RESUBMITTING: As users really want it and it seems simply overlooked as it would be a feature that would be heavily used on a daily basis.

Proposal: Add Harmonica product to a future quest line or random drop
Suggest: Giving it an a bonus to Appearance of +3

Proposal: Change the male and female character cass references from Iroquois to each be "Warrior".
Reason: Iroquois were the American Eastern Indians, and were not historically based in the American West. While we do not know which Indians the game is depciting we could generalize it by just using a term that represented the soliders of all Indian tribes such as warrior.

RESUBMITTING: As users really want it and it seems simply overlooked as it would be a feature that would be heavily used on a daily basis.
Details of idea: To add a button that centers the town on the screen and on the mini-map. The quickest option would be that in the "bids for purchase" tab, when you click on the traveling time that it opens the town in question (does that already), centers the town on screen, and opens on mini map. But if this is too hard then just a "center" button next to the town header in every town screen (this option would be useful in more situations than this market theme). Another option would be to add this feature to the sign-post of every town!
the current workaround is enter town screen, enter residence, click on any residents profile, and then click on center town from the profile.

Has the idea been posted before?: Yes
Reasons for submitting: this has been suggested before, but that was a while ago (I don't know if it has been suggested since) and with the market and all it would just be really handy. Just say you find the town using the "bids for purchase" tab in the market. You actually have no idea where this town is until you center it on the mini map right? well try doing that a couple hundred times, when you are collecting the bulk you have bought! There are other instances where it would be useful too, but particularly this is annoying me ATM

Proposal: Change minimum market bid increase from $1 to $25 or perhaps 3% of the base bid.
Reason: I'd like the bidding system at the market changed so that $1 bid increases are removed, $25 bid increments will make the bidding more interesting.

Idea title: Easier archiving
Details of idea: When archiving your telegrams into categories, you shouldn't get reverted back to page 1 of your telegrams every time you archive a telegram.
Reasons for submitting: While going through my pages of telegrams and sorting them into categories (most people probably don't do that, but I was bored so), every time I sorted one or multiple telegrams into a category, it jumped back to page one and I had to click back to the page I was up to every single time.
Conclusion: If it just stayed on the page you were currently on, it would remove the hassle of an extra click and therefore save my fingers from arthritis and preserve mouse longevity.

Title: "Bids for Purchase" section ordered by distance
Details of idea: The most effective way to place the bids would be in order of distance. In this way you know exactly which location is closest for your next pick up.
Visual Aid: courtesy of two bars of mars (thanks again mate)
Reasons for submitting: At present, one has to sift through pages of bought items to check which is the next closest town. If this was to be implemented, it would be of great use to those who are collecting their bought items.
Idea title: Warning on selling unique items
Details of idea: Before selling unique items like various quest rewards add a window saying "This is unique item. If you sell it there is no possible way you can ever find it again." or something similar along those lines. This can be done in a currently existing window that open when you try to sell something.
Example of unique item this would be very helpful on is the : Advent Calendar
Reasons for submitting: Every once in awhile here on forums I hear about someone selling something he really shouldn't have and asking for help. Usually, all the answers he can get is "contact support and see if they'll help you". With this people would at least get a fair warning before trying to sell some of those objects.

Proposal: Make animation in line with actual current activity.
Problem: As soon as you queue a sleep the animation shows a sleeping figure, even though you might be walking to the hotel at that point. A lot of people at first think they have been duelled while sleeping when they were actually on the way to the hotel.
Solution:
If the walking animation was shown until the actual sleep part of the order begins it would be less confusing.
Additional: Also, with the 45minute duelling cooldown it would be useful to be able to see from the animation if you were actually asleep and protected or waiting for the cooldown to elapse (maybe no 'z.z.z.z's animating or a red boder to show you are still duelable, and no border to show you are fully asleep and protected.

New Job: Brewing Coffee
Details of idea: This should be a relatively easy job on The West. Of course, they had coffee in the days of the wild west. If you don't believe me, look up Arbuckle Coffee. I imagine its difficulty should be between 25 and 50 labor points. Skills used in this job could include: Vigor, Stamina, Stamina, Fine Motor Skills, and Trading.
Reasons for submitting: I think this job would make the game more interesting and realistic. The product awarded could be a bag of coffee beans. I reckon it would be fairly easy to implement as well.

Idea title: Dueling Map.
Details of idea: New dueling menu is great and this will only enhance it. By adding a map, you can choose your duels in a way that makes more sense. 2 guys 10 minutes away from your location could be in complete opposite locations. Also duelers won't end up in desolate areas.
Visual Aid:
Reasons for submitting: Ease of selecting duels.
