One of my biggest turn offs with the trading post is the fact that you can’t preview what you’re actually buying. A lot of weapons and armor either have the incorrect icon art, or have default icons that look nothing like what the item actually looks like. If I’m about to drop 2 gold on an item, I think it’s important to know that you’re actually buying what you intended to buy.

I agree, it’s crazy that you can’t preview items on the trading post. I hope something is done about this soon.

agreed, its pretty pointless without preview when you’re selling dyes or when looking for cosmetics

Well at least with dyes you can see the color, as opposed to many weapon sets that all share the default sword icon despite being completely different, but yes being able to see the color on your armor would be nice before a purchase. For example, Midnight Fire dye looks like a dark black, and on cloth it looks dark black, but on metallic armor, it looks like a dark brownish hue.

Considering that it’s a feature already implemented in the game, I would assume it wouldn’t be that hard of a fix to make. But seeing as I’m not a dev, I may be way off

Yeah! Would be great when shopping for specific skins. Got this awesome short bow skin after a story quest but accidently reskined the bow :P Want to browse the trading post for new skins, but don’t feel like buying every short bow there until i find the right skin :P

Everything in moderation!
