Not sure if these have been suggested previously...

ANET should add in-game hyperlink support to the GW message window so that:

1) You can just click on someone's name in the message window to auto-fill that name into the Whisper Tab name box. I've seen this simple but elegant feature already implemented in EQ, and it makes answering global inquiries so much easier. Instead of typing out "vvwvwvwvwvvwv," you can just click on that person's name in the chat window, and voila, that name is now in the whisper box.

2) You can ctrl-click on an item in your inventory, and it creates a hyperlink in your current message line bar. If you send this message to the trade channel, anyone who clicks on that hyperlink in their message bar gets a pop-up of the item's icon and full stats. This feature was also implemented in EQ and makes in-game item shopping quick and simple. This also minimizes the amount of trade-window shoppers with no intention to buy.

1. we kinda already have that; don't remember how exactly- have to hit ctrl+enter ... or something

2. Rather than this; why not just support the auction house.....

Oops, you're right, #1 is already active lol. #2 is the one that'd I'd like to see in addition to an auction house. #2 is considerably easier to code and deploy, so it's a good filler until the auction house goes live, if ever...
