Rune trader -- a mess!

I've wanted this for a long time, but now it's even more needed:

Put small gaps between each profession's runes/insignias in the rune trader's window... or, put headings (like Monk Runes) before each profession's runes/insignias.

yes this is minor, but it's a gigantic block of items right now -- akin to not using paragraphs when writing! the best thing for Anet is that it's easy to fix!

Or add an Insignia Trader.

NoChance, you, my friend, have a great idea. Small, doable, practical, and needed. I think they do need to wided the gap between the names or make tab bars for each profession. Or, like stated above, add an Insignia trader.

Or even add a tab onto the rune trader for Insignia. But yes my guild members and I were talking about that the other day.

Now why should Anet go and do that? There are only about 100-120 items in the rune trader if you count everything. That's less clutter than the skill lists.

I'd rather Anet work on something that's actually broken. It's fine how it is.

The skill lists are seperated into attributes, and they're sortable via a drop-down menu.

This would make the rune trader more user-friendly. Granted, it's not -needed-, but hey, alot of changes/additions they've made havn't been -needed-. Were they appreciated? Definatly.

I understand, but I don't think something this small would eat up very much time. An inprovement is an improvement in my opinion no matter how big or small. =^_^=

Perhaps sort each magic accordingly as well..

Like for instance

Necromancer

Minor Blood Magic
Major Blood Magic
Superior Blood Magic
Minor Curses
Major Curses
etc...

Mesmer
Minor Domination Magic
Major DOmination Magic
Superior Domination Magic
Minor Fast Casting
Major Fast Casting
etc...

The colours would keep the list tidy and you'd find everything much faster.

I agree with you 100%! And yes, the Rune trader is quite a mess...I wish they had "tabs" like they do with the Xunlai storage uprade.

It's a mess, you can't say it isn't and skills can't be used as an argument, you can sort them however you like.

The rune trader is completely unorganized.

I suggest tabs across the top, maybe somthing like this:

Minor Runes | Major Runes | Superior Runes | Other Runes | Insignias | Sell

And then inside each tab you could have the runes broken down by profession in ALPHABETICAL order regardless of the campaign that profession belongs too.

EDIT: I'm also totally keen on the idea of a seperate insignia trader in addition to this as well.

This is almsot reiterating the points made, but I would like to see some of, if not all of, these following changes:

- A different tab or different NPC for runes and insignia. I have never been to the rune trader looking for runes AND insigni at the same time.

- Split all runes into different professions with tabs, such as the priest of Balthazar. Is it jsut me, or are the different professtion not even in alphabetical order any more? Warrior runes seem to be first. This would make jumping to the correct runes very much faster.

- Perhaps have the idea of the minor, major and superior grouped together, or the ability to select that style if you want it.

- THIS ONE IS NEEDED! -- More space between the items. At the moment it is a mess. All of the lines come directly after eachother. It looks a mess, and it is hard to find what you are looking for. (My runes overlap aswell, Muffin ;-) )

- Possible 'search' option, to find the rune instantly.

Yeah, that's a great idea. I mean, it's not a big deal, but it would be much easier to choose your runes. natuxatu, your idea would be even better, actually. /signed

Whatever they do, any sorting or organization would be really great considering the huge amount of stuff on the Rune Trader already. Or just do an Insignia Trader although that would imply in also having the weapon insignias on the trader too...[dream]along with a Weapon Upgrades, Unique Weapons, Weapon Insignias[/dream]

I've seen this idea posted before and agreed to by many. It's an awesome idea. Just give it time. Anet needs time to do these things.
