The problem
As it is now, the auction house’s GUI fails at fulfilling its one and only purpose: allowing players to quickly find a listing of whichever item they might want.
Why that is is not only due to a barebone filtering and inventory system that require an entire revamp, but also because the categories themselves are both for individual and multiple items. Id est, there is a terrible lack of organisation.
My solution
To fix the latter, I propose the following: Add actual categories which themselves will contain the different items that one might look for; Nesting.
What this will do is organise the auction house and make it a thousand times easier and faster for everyone to browse. It isn’t even difficult to implement either as GUI is simple in nature.
A low cost solution that fixes the issues of an entire feature is always great isn’t it?
Also, there’s really no need for a search bar for individual item listings (Category>Item>Listings) when this is a possibility, really.
A poll just for fun
- I would rather have a GUI redesign.
- I would rather have a search bar for listings.
- I would rather have AO stay the same because it’s only meant to be slop that dumb kids will play, easy ban.
