Guild Wars 2

Something I should have suggested better here a long time ago …

Please ANet, add to the game the feature of automatic selling.
Should be hard to program the option for sellable items, that if you right click them, that you can choose then the option “Activate Automatic Sell”, that from that moment on, whenever you take up that item, which is marked as automatic sell for your account, that these taken up items then won’t get put anymore in your inventory, but instead will get sold instantly in the marketplace, if there are people, which have placed there inquiries for those items with prices.

A feature like this would help to keep the inventory clean, being lesser forced to run to npc vendors to sell stuff and it would prevent, that you loose some money, just only because you had no inventory space anymroe to take up some loot.

This would be an especially helpful little feature for all thoise players, which don’t have either the time, nor the real money to buy for all their characters the maximum limit of inventory space, nor can’t buy all the maximum account chest inventory space, just to have more time before you have to sell stuff.

This game has tons of items under the loot table which can drop, most of the stuff is basically worthly, but it masses they can make you still a little bit good money over time, like all that loot stuff that counts as “Junk”.
Basically I’d never loot junk, because it just takes away inventory space for alot more valuable loot that could drop for me …

However, even junk sold in masses will bring you in quite some cash and if you could mark junk loot as “automatic sell” for NPC vendors, it would even make alot more sense then to activate under the options the feature of “automatic looting”.

Automatic Sell as feature would brign us players alot more game comfort.
What do you think about it???

I think this would simply be a haven for bots and therefor not something that should be added to the game.

Everything that makes it easier for bots is a bad thing in my eyes.

If you program a bot now to run automatically to a npc and selel with it the looted stuff, or if you program a bot now to mark items as automatic sell, makes absolutely no difference. Bot is bot and the problem about them won’t disappear, with or without my suggested automatic sell feature, but the game with my feature would be alot more comfortable for all of us real players, which are sick of it to lose over time alot of potential income of gold, just only because you couldn’t loot at a moment some junk items, which you would sell so or so anyways, just only because your inventory was full at the moment when you tried to loot the stuff.

So when your intention is to sell instantly an item anyways right at the moment you loot something, why should that loot not get instantly selled automatically, instead of getting layed into your inventory where better more valuable drops should be stored up better and items, which you don’t want to sell, but rather keep, for what an inventory is rather supposed for?

I think stuff, that you want to sell, just shouldn’t waste your inventory space.
An automatic sell feature would allow us that

Of course the bots will simply wp/run/whatever to the merch to sell stuff. But that would require time. With this suggestion they would bypass that time-requirement and be much faster than they are now.

There also already ARE abilities to sell stuff out in the fields. They are called Merchant Express and are available in the gem store (which is does not require going to town since stuff is mailed to you)

Mechant Expresses can be used by bots too, so your point of time bypassing with bots is moot partwise, because these merchant/bank expresses can be also obtained via dailies as rewards

Orpheal.8263:

Mechant Expresses can be used by bots too, so your point of time bypassing with bots is moot partwise, because these merchant/bank expresses can be also obtained via dailies as rewards

Indeed, but in most cases they would require purchasing by using gems, which would lessen the income for said bots and therefore the botters wouldn’t bother using it since their purpose is to maximize their income.

We are talking here about unlayed eggs. Nobody of us can know, what exactly really would happen, if ANet would allow us some sort of automatic selling feature.
We can see that only, if it would get implemented and if its not good then for the economy, or if the economy would simply adapt to this new feature, we would see that then and anet would react in regard of what the outcome of this new feature would be in the end.

But the fact stands still in the end, that this would definetely increase the games comfort for all real players and I think, alone this would it be worth it enough to implement such a feature. If this feature hits then on dramatic bot problems, we can then still think about solutions how to change this feature so, that only real players can profitate from it and botters get excluded out somehow …
