Guild Wars 2

I remember shortly after launch people were asking “where can I get back items”.
Now almost a year later and I still see new players in divinities reach asking the same question.

Most veteran players like myself know you can search for the words “back”, “brace”, or “spineguard”, to find some back items, or if you know the exact name of a newer (event related) back skin you can search for this by name (eg, holographic dragon wing cover).

But what we really need is a filter in the trading post to search for “back item”, which also includes back skins and backpack covers, so people can browse and buy previous event back skins also.

Sure, players can use 3rd party sites to try and find back items/skins but we relly shouldn’t have to keep relying so much on other peoples websites to give us the information we that should be able to find out by playing the game.

I’m surprised no one’s jumped in on this topic, but yeah, I totally agree. I was just doing a Google Search to figure out how to find back items in the trading post because there’s no in-game method other than searching for specific names.

The trading post search functionality needs an overhaul. This would be one of the many improvements that would make it more useful and and searches more efficient. I have to imagine that it would be less strain on the TP databases too, plus less bandwidth for sending unnecessary/unwanted results to the client every search.

Side note: The ability to filter armor by light, medium, and heavy would be a huge time saver as well.

I agree too. I would expand it to include not only back items and light med heavy but also the different gears like rings and earrings.

anet 4 months and not response . . . i’m i system developer and i know this change is super easy to make.

Also please add an option to divide light, medium and hevay items plz.

Using the Trading Post’s search filter (Category: Armor, Subcategory: Aquatic Helm), I found, no word of a lie, four items that correspond to that search filter.

Now, search for “Spineguard” and no less than thirteen items appear. Why are there less items for an existing filter (aquatic helm) while there are more available spineguards that do not have a filter?

I will agree here:
(•) All / ( ) Light / ( ) Medium / ( ) Heavy
armor search filter is basic (and surprisingly lacking) for a trade interface.

The “food” subcategory under Consumables is also completely devoid of actual food, somehow.
