hey all! i just have a pretty simple suggestion!

i’d like the option to sell multiple items quickly in one big go on the trading post rather than selling each item individually wracking up quite large down-times for the simple act of vendoring.

Obviously there would need to be restrictions, perhaps allowing us to click a “select multiple items” button where we choose the options as with a normal trade (meet highest bidder etc) and then click the objects in our bag we wish to sell (they’ll become highlighted so you know they’ve been selected), click a “sell” button and BAM it all sells at once.

anyway thats my idea! thanks for reading!

While this is a valid suggestion, if countless players are submitting several items within microseconds I suspect it could give issues overloading processes with spikes to the database, perhaps could be solved using more shared resources. It could perhaps create very long pause for users during the submission before giving you the ok with all transactions done, not sure if it’s convenient enough in the end.

Unlike Diablo 3 with it’s 10 items limit, you can submit all items you want here, and it generated an incredible traffic of IDs with associated data, maybe 1-2 orders higher, I presume several millions per day, this can bring the traffic to 10 to 100 times more, from the users point of view looks easy, implementing it to be stable, I’m not quite sure

There is going to be one idiot that hits that button, and “accidentally” sells something he didn’t originally mean to…

Then that same idiot is going to these forums to cry about selling exotic materials or a legendary precursor because he didn’t take a minute to sort his gear and got lazy and hit a button.

This is a horrible idea.

It’s not just that, this could be solved with a multiple selection clicking on each icon and a final confirm. In the end you have to select things, one shot sell all is not smart,99% of cases are not going to have everything to sell in the inventory.

Actually it could be implemented by bag, in this game there are all sort of bags with different specs, some bags could have an auto collect certain items and sell all at lower current market price, with a button perhaps close to the bag title in the inventory expanded.

The real problem is how to define the price for each item you want to sell in the block, so if we want an automatic multi sale, it needs to be associated with another variable true for all items, either sell all for the current market price, put all 1 copper lower than the market price, sell all at the lower buyer price. Something like that, otherwise you need anyway to set the price for each, what’s the point lol

I never thought it was a problem. If I have a stack of 20 things. I right click the stack and hit sell at tradeing post. I never sold anything by seperating 20 to 1 with alt drag, and sell one at a time. Maybe I should start to break stacks down and sell 1 Piece from the stack seperately.

I don’t see that this makes anything easier: by the time I finishing vendor items that aren’t fetching more than vendor +25%, everything that is left needs to be sold based on more data (current WTB/WTS, past data for higher-value items, …).

i mean different things, 10 mins of events and you’ll have 20 different stacks to sell,
going through each individually is pretty time consuming when you think that all you’re doing is vendoring.

my wish is for the trading post to be (nearly) as quick to sell on as the merchants, highlight all of the junk by clicking them, click sell, done, continue playing ;-)
