Guild Wars 2

Searching for armor is just plain tedious at the moment. There is no way to filter it so it will only search by armor type, or even only items you can use. It is even worse with gear for different professions being named almost identically across the board.

Perhaps it was a minor oversight in a rush to get everything going for release, but with more and more people hitting 80 and buying gear each day, adding a way to filter it to things only usable by your profession or even just armor type would be a very welcome change.

This would be one of the best new filters – except I propose a slight change -

Filter by:
Category: Armor
Sub Category: Head piece
Material: <heavy/medium/light>

There’s also entire categories missing, like jewelry / ring / necklace / back piece etc.

Jewelry is listed under trinkets. Not sure about back pieces as I haven’t found anything besides the one you got as a reward for your story quest during the low 20’s. Seriously, if anyone knows where back slots are let me know asap!

Yes! I can’t believe this is not an option. Please, ANet, please give us more filters to make searching for items in the market simpler!

Try searching for spineguard.

Filtering by category (essentially what the OP is asking for) would be desirable, yes.

Choir.

Preach.

Expecting to soon get a mod “Thread has been moved to Suggestions” PM.
