Guild Wars 2

Well, it’s a quite simple suggestion that may improve a lot the way players see the game economy.
The idea is: When a player oppens the Trading Post, select to search for an especific item and clics on it, on the new tab of buying from the lowest seller or placing an order would be an chart, just like the one on the “Currency Exchange” tab, that tells the players the last 24h prices of that item (selecting “Buy instantly” would show the lowest sellers, and “Place an order” would show the buyers prices). Take a look on the img attached.
Why? There are a lot of reasons for this, but the most important is: people will know how the economy diverge on their servers according to the time of the day. For example, let’s say that at 3o’clock there are tons of europeans online, and their economy is slightly better than american’s (continent), so the prices are diferent that time of the day, this way you know when you’ll need to log in for better prices.
People is already doing this. I have a group of friends who decided to write down the prices according to daytime, so every half an our, one of them (3) log on and take note about the most profitable items. It’s market strategy, and should be avaliable for all.
I know that, on the beggining, people will overuse it, making it hard to tell exactly when the prices will be good, but given some time, things will settle down once again.
Please, leave comments. This is not a full-finished suggestion, and can (and will) be improved if the comunity thinks it’s a good idea.

nice ideia, man!

Yeah good idea. It could be similar to the EVE Online marketplace. I’ve always missed that one in other MMOs.

Yes, this would be very handy.

Once you use it, it’s actually very easy and handy, but the whole set up is very complex. I also love the many apps for smartphones that use live market data in Eve… which kind of reminds me of GW2’s extended experience. Whatever happened to that one…?
