Guild Wars 2

Despite having issues with up time I am quite enjoying the mini-game of making money on the BLTC. During my time using the current interface there are numerous things that I would like to make my life easier, but I want to outline a simple interface change that will dramatically improve both player performance, as well as hopefully lighten the load on the servers.

In the process of using the BLTC I am constantly swapping between the various tabs in the BLTC. Swapping between the “sell” and “buy” screen, as well as checking how much I paid for an item or how much I sold it etc.

What I suggest is to be able to drag out the tabs, so that you can have multiple tabs visible on the screen at once. This would work in a similar manner to how you can pull out tabs into a separate window in most modern Internet browsers.

This would allow me to have my – “stuff I have bought” tab open, while currently selling objects to make sure that I am not selling stuff at a loss. This would make my life much easier, but more importantly it would reduce the load on the servers. Currently I am having to swap between the tabs, and each time it is sending a request to the web server that hosts the BLTC. If I could separate the tabs, I would estimate that my requests to server would reduce by 50-60%.

Another smaller suggestion to reduce server load, would be to have a list of the currently prices that items are being sold for on the “sell” tab. Right now it only shows the – sell it now, sell at current lowest price or your current price of other sales. This means I have to swap between the “buy” tab – which lists all the current prices – to assess the market, and then go to the “sell” tab – this again makes my life more difficult, as well as increasing the load on the server.

I have posted this idea on the suggestion forum, but it got quickly buried and I am afraid that it may have been missed.

Kind regards

seconded!!! The interface would use some improvement.
