Guild Wars 2

Can we get a ‘salvage all’ option? Something where you could salvage every item in your inventory of blue or green quality (they are useless anyways) with just 1 click, obviously giving a confirmation box and showing how many kits you would use.

I like the idea, but…

My magic find set is green, so this would be a liability with my inventory. I tend to carry a couple items which may be blue or green in rarity, but have skins I intend to transmute. Also, I carry multiple qualities of salvage kit, so something like this would be best found on the context menu of a salvage kit to ensure the same type is used consistently. This needs a safeguard above and beyond a confirmation dialog (nobody pays enough attention to them) to ensure nothing really bad happens—yes I want to salvage all white items-OH CRAP I MISCLICKED AND CONFIRMED SALVAGE ALL EXOTICS!

Well im sure they can figure out a ‘safe’ method for it. But im getting a bit tired of running dungeons and after a while having my inventory full of 20 slot bags filled up with greens/blues trash, considering the drop rate in this game is so bad thats pretty much all you get. So i have to tell my party, “hold on guys, give 5 min to salvage all this crap” which takes and even longer thanks to the confirmation window of green items.

Salavage all can lead to some problems that people may not think about at the time. If you run into inventory issues, the cog symbol in your inventory allows you to deposit all collectibles on you to your storage. Helps me in dungeons and orr a lot.

There are items in the game with their sole purpose of being salvaged. ANet wouldn’t have put these in if they considered your idea good.

People like managing their inventory. I do.

vendor them = more money than salvaging. Greens (of high enough level) go in the mystic forge to hopefully become rares.

It’s actually better to salvage whites than to sell them. At 80, the loot you get usually can be salvaged for mithril, elder wood, or if you’re lucky orichalcum and ancient wood. You make wayy more money salvaging whites but greens and blues is better to just npc, tossing them into the forge is likely to lose you a ton of coin unless Zomorros is yourr buddy on Facebook or somethin..

I dont really care about coin at all, im better getting mats from greens/blues. Just because some people dont want the idea i dont see why cant this happen, its just an OPTION, if you dislike it, dont use it.
