Guild Wars 2

Bought some new “gloves” on the Trading Post. Turns out they weren’t actually gloves, but pants instead.

Had an issue like that too. Submitted a report.

Edited my original post ’cause I probably came off as argumentative or condescending, and that was not my intent.

For anyone who hasn’t seen this before -- and it’s been around at least since the Headstart weekend, unfortunately -- I definitely can understand doing a double-take.

I hope no one actually purchased these intending to wear them as gloves. Here’s why:
-- in the TP, they would show up if you filtered by the legging slot and will not if you filter by gloves/hand items
-- If you hover over them in the TP and your inventory to see the tooltip with the stats and are on a medium-armor class, another tooltip with your pants should appear for comparison, not your gloves
-- the are named "pants" pretty clearly

I definitely want them to fix icons like this, but fellow players don’t go by icon alone when buying items.

Not everyone searches in the same way. Some look at Armor and not specific slots.

Then, you look at the icon and the stats and it is obvious “hey, these gloves have great stats”. Oh wait….. it’s just 5 legged pants…..

It’s annoying and I didn’t make that mistake. And it’s old. Very old. Been bugged like that for a very long time.
