Hello, Am I the only one that have to scroll between 5-10 pages until I find what I want in the armor category?

Example: I’m a elemenalist and want to search for light armor in the Trading Post. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you can choose after you’ve cross the armor category to choose between light, medium and heavy armor?
It will go much faster, you can find exactly what you’re looking for and also find other pieces of armor that you maybe would skip if you just scrolled and scrolled for a specific armor piece?

Am I the only one? Please comment below if you’ve any hints about to make this possible and also to a better option!

I agree. I hate having to go through pages of things I can’t even use.

Another thing I’d like to add to the idea is the option for “search usable”.
It would be a box like the show available option. That way if you are looking for things with certain stats you can just type in what you are looking for stat wise (Zerker, Soldier, Assassin, etc.) and click Show usable to have all usable armor and weapons with the chosen stats appear.

Must bump this thread- this is a search function that the TP seriously needs.

Should’ve been there since the launch. Desperately needed while leveling, especially for new players.

I agree this is a easy fix (coming from a developer)
This is effectively only a change in a SQL statement. Add one more option box with Types. Have the default to be blank. you could even use these to enhance other areas to limit the search in other common ways.
The UI and UI tool set is already there, the code change/enhancement is minor, the default could keep the current behavior . . so is this just a oversight, a easy but low priority enhancement that is lost in the cue?

There was an option to only show gear you could use in beta. It worked when the TP was up. For some reason it was removed; never to return thus far.

But hey; festivals!

ya, I was there, but really though I was misremembering it being there as something I wanted not something that was there . . . ok I am not crazy then :P
Expect there was a performance issue but hell if I know how.

Its kind of absurd that you still can’t sort the trade post results by armor class. People were requesting this in BETA.
