I don't think ArenaNet realizes how frustrating it is to get insignias you want. You have to stalk the Rune Trader for hours at a time just to get the insignia you want.
Why can't there just be an insignia vendor? It would make life a lot easier...
In the meantime...spacebar, scroll down, spacebar, scroll down...
Insignia Vendor

The rune trader is definitely a bit over-populated with salable items (or will be when they're actually there x_x), and it's only going to get more and more full with each new professions.
I'd definitely prefer to see the rune trader only selling runes, with a separate insignia trader/vendor.

Yeah I'm going to have to agree on this one... I'm not liking the new armor stuff this round. Instead of Insignias they should have kept with the armor purchasing system they had with Factions.

I like the idea, i don't want to wait 2 months to get full energy mods for my 15k sunspear warrior set :'( not even sure if i can, bleh, gg anet,

i would like if they seperated the types of runes and insignias with big bold letters for each class, otherwise i have no problem. I know I can get my insignias for my armor once the economy settles down.

/notsigned on this Specific idea, since I don't see them adding in a whole nother NPC into each of the capital cities of every game (would be somewhat tricky where to place him etc)
Instead, make the rune trader more like the priest of bathazar. Have sperate tabs that seperate via profession or have a rune tab and a insigna tab just to clear up the clutter.

I like inscriptions, I think they're a valid and useful part of the game. No more multiple 15k sets for different effects, unless thats how you want to be set up...
But, for the Insignia vendor /signed
I don't like having to scroll down to see insignias either, however if they don't make one I wouldn't be supprised. After all, once they're all readily available (which ought to happen eventually) it will just be one more mod to buy for the Guild Hall.

The rune trader will calm down after a few weeks and then we will be able to get all the runes and insignias we need. It will just take time for people to find them and sell them to the trader to sell to us.

I like this idea.. and I've recently been saving the useful insignias that I find, but I'm still looking for one Radiant one.

Demand for Radiant Insignias, for example, will always remain the same, and the supply for Radiant Insignias will always remain the same.

However, it would be alot more use if we could at any time switch to past insignias that were runes onto the armor, making the whole idea of insignias a whole lot more useful.

This is exactly why I feel some sort of Insignia Crafter should be made.
I was only able to get one Radiant insignia in the last few days, and it was purchased from a player with a steep markup. Only have between 27 and 31 more to go, depending on how many sets of armors I want to craft.

Look at how factions started out. You couldnt get your hands on ass or rit runes for weeks.
Yet now you can easily enough.

Umm.. Wrong.
Now that NF is out, everybody is buying new armor for their old characters and for there 2 new NF characters. Once people start getting radiant insignias on those armors, demand will die down. (ie, once I get my umm.. 16 "neccessary" radiant insignias, I'm not going to keep buying them).

i totally agree
i think they should supply more quantities of runes aswell because it took me 5 hours to get 5 runes of attunement for my new armor

It wont make a difference to supplies though as all the vendors sell is what is sold to them.

I think the rune trader is fine for insiginas, just needs a little cleaning up.
Make it more like the priest or PvP equipment "only in the sorting of them" is all... and there would not be a problem scrolling through a large list...
Sort by Class, then Attrib, and have a different tab for Vigor and inscriptions...

I've been doing the same thing and stalking the rune trader for the right Insignias. I found a Tormenter logo and tried to buy it only to get the "OMFG Sold out!" message.

Yea agree, Arenanet totlally RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up the insigna system :
-> Low drops ( they dont realize that a full armor usually neest one rune ? Besides a full armor needs 5 insignias ? ) Why insigna's drops are lower than runes dropes rofl ??? Want players selling insignas for 30k piece ?
-> No dedicated vendor
Result : Slow pve acomplishement for pvp, youll need like 3 more full days of trade to find ur insigna's... to pvp... How dumb is that rofl ?

Lesat, it's been 5 days. Of course trade is slower than a snail on ritalin. It is picking up though, I bought a full set of Tormentor insignias for my 15k Sunspear, and I am just waiting for the first Bloodstained insignia to hit the market so I can corner it.
Dzan
The insignias should be sold from an npc right next to the armor crafter with no supply limit. There is no reason to have to play these games to get the same armor we used to get when we crafted the armor.
In Droknors Forge when I crafted my Gladiators armor I didn't have to wait 2 weeks for the extra energy to kick in, nor did I have to pay extra for it.

Real pessimestic there Dzan. You don't have to "pay extra for it" considering you can get max Elonan armor that costs 1k a piece. Plus 250-300g per inscription is cheaper then the 1.5k you'd be paying in Phrophecies.
Also, for those who forgot how long it took them to implement the retroactiveness of Canthan armor stats, people sure have waited a longer time then that for armor to be updated.

Funny, I dont remember buying 1k armor. And even if I did, I would have gladly paid another 500 gold per piece to get the stats I wanted when I crafted it, rather than some mysterious future date when supply finally out-paces demand at the rune trader.

Anyways, it appears I overreacted. Insignias are starting to accumiliate.
However, I fear that we'll never see Radiant Insignias. And definately not at a reasonable price.

Just wait another 2 weeks and you will start seeing the Radiant Insignias starthing to show on a longer period of basis.

/signed... Insignia's should be purchasable easily just like from a armor merchant.. its retarded when there's like 50 people camping survivor insignias for 300gold and selling it at 10k.. either that or they can fix the trader to have unlimited stock or something.. that way price is still determined by demand etc. but you won't have people abusing the trader to earn, same goes for dervish and paragon runes

especially for the guy with the mod vendor. He just wants an easy break.
These insigs aren't available because nightfall only just came out. By the time they made an insig vendor, the demand will have gone back down and they would start to sell properly.
Just wait it out and stop complaining, or go farm them. They aren't hard to get.

The only problem I have with the insignias being sold in the rune trader is that they are subject to the price fluctuations of supply and demand. Perhaps they are flooding the market with enough of these so they shouldn't ever get above a couple hundred gold. But it could be possible that a rarer inscription could sell for a couple K making the armor more expensive. I wish the armor crafter had them as well and if you sold one, regardless of what kind it was for say 100g, but there would always be a fixed supply available for a fixed price.

On the subject of availability - the most obvious solution is to increase the drop rate, not add a vendor. Personally, I agree with those who expect the situation will get better by itself, though.
