Guild Wars 2

It needs change in this feature patch.

The bare minimum to make Crafting UI way better than before is to rearrange the categories.

Refinement, turning ore/wood/clothes into crafting components, on the very top -> put crafting components second -> Miscellanious -> Weapons/armor.

I should not be scrolling down and up just to look for the refinement section just so I can turn my extra ores into ingots.

You know you can close any of them and also it is in alphabetical order (you CAN rearrange them). You also search and just bring up what you want. You can even turn off the ones you don’t want to see.

I don’t see what the big deal is.

How would one rearrange them?! I am dying to know this. Just trying to drag the category to the top does not work.

If you search for “ingot” it brings up any recipe that has ingot as an ingredient PLUS the ingot recipes. That is still a problem.

If I turn off ones that I don’t want to see on one crafting profession, those settings remain on another crafting profession (e.g. I only want to see ascended rarity recipes in Tailor, and then I switch alts and open Chef and it only wants to show me ascended recipes).

If I tell it to only show me apprentice level recipes, I have to manually uncheck five other levels of recipes, and I STILL have to scroll down to the refinement section.

All sections/categories are open by default, so if I close them by clicking the collapse arrow, when I reopen the UI the next time, they are expanded instead of collapsed the way I left them.

Like Runeblade, I would be 100% happier, if not completely satisfied, if they just put refinement at the top, obsidian and ecto refinement together in one category, crafting components, insignias, and then the actual items. And upgrade components, including jewel transmute/upgrades, at the bottom.

I’d be 100% happier if the categories were closed by default instead of open. It’s especially annoying to have to close them again every time I want to check back tab or collectibles.
