Guild Wars 2

I use the TP all the time and really like it for the most part, but see major room for improvement. Here are my top 5 suggestions for making the TP experience better.
(Top 2 should go for merchants as well.)

1. Add a filter to allow the player to check a box which when checked hides all items not usable by their character. This means it factors in level and profession.

2. All weapons and armor should be previewable and not limited be profession.

3. Add a filter to the sell menu that gives the option to hide all of the items with no existing preorders.

4. Have the option to have items delivered to where ever the player is located in the world for a fee.

5. Don’t allow players to place orders that will never be filled. I like the fact that the TP prevents the loss of revenue by not allowing sales of less than that of the merchant prices. This should go for orders as well though. This would also help clean up some of the clutter.

- Also preview item please.

and when opening the auction house it seems to refresh or something and there’s bugs along those lines.

not like bugs but radar it would be better if it was changed

Yeah I’d like to know what the armor I’m buying looks like, especially since its worth a big shiny penny. but also — I don’t know if theres a way to do this or not, but the only option I see for picking up items from TP is the take all option. So if I bought stuff on one character and left it there. After coming back the next day on another character, I’m forced to take the stuff, although I’d rather leave it for the other character. They should add an option where you choose what items to take and what to not take.

Nah, that one would ruin the game feeling.

But I like the others ^^

The delivery service I was looking at from a realism stand point. If these magic birds can deliver items to the trading post than I just thought the reverse should be true and like a listing fee a delivery fee would add to the realism. Really it is just stopping some of the waypoint surfing and the fee could be figured accordingly. The loading screen times to hop around just to pick up stuff is annoying to me. The delivery could be done item by item as Maiden England pointed out this is something that needs to be tweaked also.

Black Lion Trader Express. For those of you who don’t want to just hit b and hit up the trading post NPC in WvW. Logging out in WvW will return you to where you were before going into WvW, so will the HoM portal stone when you leave HoM.

5. Don’t allow players to place orders that will never be filled. I like the fact that the TP prevents the loss of revenue by not allowing sales of less than that of the merchant prices. This should go for orders as well though. This would also help clean up some of the clutter.

Selling for 1c above the vendor price still loses you money because you’re ignoring the 10% sales fee (payable on sale, included in projected profit) and the 5% listing fee( payed on listing, not included in projected profit)

Also, I think the ability to place low buy orders is blocked. However, ANET haven’t purged the forbidden buy orders yet. I’d suggest that all orders older than 90 days get automatically canceled, both to purge forbidden orders and to stop cluttering the TP with orders that will never sell due to market shifts.

I think i am more irritated by seeing sell listings for absurd amounts… Like 10 gold for a single copper ore or something.

If you’re selling at a loss than even the NPC merchant then it’s really your fault.
