Guild Wars 2

Just a post to recommend some basic UI improvements that would greatly improve the Trading Post user experience.

Additional sub-filter options are required:

Trinkets:
Back
Accessory
Ring
Amulet

Consumables:
Food
Potion
Recipe
Book

Aesthetic:
Number of dye slots
Set (as in all armour pieces belonging to a set, for example Anton’s, Masquerade, etc.)

Interface improvement:
Allow users to choose which page opens by default when pressing O. I understand you want the first thing people to see to be the Gem Store, but it’s very irritating when navigation between panes is so slow.
Get the window to remember which pane you opened last and what text was in the search field.

Pie-in-the-sky desires:
Allow re-sizing of the window.
Allow multiple panes to be displayed in the window so you can quickly compare what you’re buying and selling without having to wait for a new pane to load.

I’m sure there’s some other points I’ve thought of that I’m forgetting.
Would anyone else care to offer similar mechanical improvements?

The trinket sub-filter options already exist last time I checked. I do know I was searching for amulets, rings and accessories the other day on my thief without needing to search through them all.

yeah the TP usability i find personally horrible!. There is so much more room for good improvements. To add to your list:

1) When you go to: items i am buying —> than go to the actual item —> Color link your order.
2) Make a button to go back to your buy tab
3) Make a repost button. (buy the same item again for the same price)

Agreed 100%

I find that 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.

Oh, additionally, allow us to filter armour by “Weight”.
That is, Light, Medium or Heavy.
I knew I’d forgotten something.
