Guild Wars 2

Example: You get three items that you don’t want to salvage, you can right click on each of them and select “Mark as junk” causing a trashcan icon with a black outline to appear in the upper right hand corner of the icon. When the mouse hovers over the marked item or future copies of the item, the words “Marked as junk” will appear at the top (just above the item name).

This way, you can sell all junk items with a click of a button at the merchants—including items marked as junk.

If you have to click on them and then select the option to label each one as junk, how is this faster than clicking on them to sell to a merchant or simply repeatedly clicking the sell button?

Maybe the OP means that that particular item would be automatically labeled as junk whenever you get it again? So you only have to mark an item once, at it will forever be in your custom junk category?

Yes, it seems I wasn’t clear enough.

I personally like the idea, but I think that the problem Anet would have with it is, “It’s not fool-proof enough”. That is, someone might accidentally mark an expensive item (silk scraps, a precursor) as junk and accidentally auto-sell it. Yeah, it would really be their fault, but Anet tends to want things to be very bullet-proof.

They can unmark items just as they easily marked them.

Yes, but they might accidentally sell some of the mis-labeled “junk” before discovering their mistake. Once again, I think that this is a good idea. I’m just telling you the problem Anet would have with it, and why they wouldn’t do it.(Even though it would be a nice thing to have for most of us.)
