Guild Wars 2

Usual apologies if this has already been posted, I did search but found nothing.

I want to talk about the trading posts interface and general usability. I personally find it very clunky and unresponsive, there are a number of thing I’d like to see implemented to improve it but my main issues are:

There is no continuity between the areas on it, so if I for example search for an item then go to another part, the gem store say or whatever then return to my search its reset.

It does not remember any previous searches, it would be handy if it gave auto completed dropdown results that included previously searched items at the top.
If you could search within search results.

It easily loses focus (sometimes my fault for clicking behind the window) so when you type something then look up (for those non-touch typers) you have a load of other hot-keyed windows open and your character is running at a wall while attacking thin air.

If you close the window does it have to return to the store front every time? You are often tantalised with a glimpse of your last location but then are whisked back to the store front. I know you’re desperate for us to buy some winter hat or ear-muffs for our character buy maybe the first time in a session it takes you to the store front then to where you left it from that time on?

Likely other things.

Here’s another one: When I type a search in, it offers an autocompleted version in the dropdown (let’s say I type ‘Ectoplasm,’ and then get ‘Glob of Ectoplasm’), if I press down to select it and press Enter, click it, or otherwise attempt to avail myself of the autocompleted version, I get that loading circle in the middle of the BLTP screen – and it never goes away. Doesn’t let me click anything, nothing. I have to drop out of the BLTP and then type in the whole thing instead of using a tiny shortcut.
