I read the manual, and I bid using multiple techniques to drive a solution that works for me. If I run onto that rare problem where I need help, there are several resources to get help quickly.
Finally, if reading a manual and learning the software is too much of a burden (hey, it's only days off), there services that for a fee will turn your days on/off requests into bid groups.
It's not a perfect system, but it's certainly usable. The current system offers more options, which if used incorrectly can cause more problems. I'd rather have more tools to use, not less.
