I speak about *unclaimed items* red engine window.

durin missions we dro palot of crap we dun give a rap about and dun bother pick up.or we have like 1 spot free.

so when mission end or we zoned in town we have this god damned window poping up.me personllay dun bother and dun gave a rap of shiet on ground for pick it up so wont now.so just close it...result it keep pop all the time till me being finally force take the shiet in it and sell it/salvage/dump.

is arena decided piss peopel off?if we dun wan the crap in unclaimed items window and close it its clear for me we dun want it.so why keep make this damned pop up thing appear till we accept them?

best and dumbest thign ever anet found for piss off people forcing them take shiet they dun wan.

and imagine the fun if u have 1 spot free in inventory.keep picking one by one craps from items....take forever.

if we close the unclaimed items then stop make it appear over and over forcing us.....

Exactly, just merch the white items you have and accept that pop-up menu. It's a little annoying, but it isn't that hard to get rid of.

Personally I think its a good feature. Is it really so hard to close a window once after each mission?

Most people who repleid in the thread dont know what the problem is. Let's say you have a lvl20 char helping someoen do the low lvl missions. You will CONSTANTLY get this annoying window up. I dont want to sell to merchant all the time because it takes few min to do so; walk to merchant open window sell blabla be careful not to see too much or wrong item blabla.

If i close the window it will keep reappearing! I cursed that window few times by now.

I did not know the window kept reappearing.
When it's closed, it should stay that way.

But, like the feature.
Sometimes items drop at the end of a mission and are impossible to reach before you zone out. I'd like to get those.
Also, the feature is nice on characters with low storage space (been rearranging my storage all morning to get free space on a couple of characters).
I only free up about 10 slots, value loot after drop and decide to take it or not. All that's left will appear in the pop-up if it's not unassigned yet.
Works for me.

There have been times in a mission where I mistakenly missed some golds of mine, and didnt even realize it until the mission was finished and that little box popped up.

I havent had the issue where it simply wont go away, usually clicking the x makes it go bye bye.

It needs to stay, maybe adding in a 'Dispose of items' choice like Diddy suggested could do the trick.

When my inventory fills up on missions, i cant pick up more merch fodder. When the mission ends, I can sell the junk, then accept what I couldnt store befor and sell it. Perfect.

Ok, everyone here isn't even listening to what he is saying. He doesn't want the whole feature to not work. The window popping up with random loot that you didn't get in it is fine. All he is asking for is when you close the window, it stops trying to make you take the items that dropped.

As of right now, it will keep re-appearing with the same stuff even after you x it off and switch districts.

It might help if he fixed his shift key, and read up on run-on sentences. I have the feeling most of the people here did not read it, because its very hard to read and full of errors. I stopped after a couple sentences.

But yes, it is annoying, I'm pretty sure recently I logged out quick while it was still up and when I logged back in (1-2 minutes later), it was still there. The window itself is not annoying, but the bug that it keep reappearing is.

Get off your lazy rears and just sell the unwanted crap to the merchant.

You want to take one of the nicer features in the game out just because you're too lazy to close a window? That's borderline retarded.
I've had multiple golds, a black dye, etc. that have dropped on the final enemy of a mission and that I would never have gotten without that window, and you want to take it away because you are too lazy to do a single click? Nevermind, forget the borderline part.

its very useful window cause you wont miss any items and shouldn't blame your party members "wtf you zoned - i didnt pick my black dye drop"
small improvement that can be added is a button - "sell all to merchant (if available)"

/signed against "english language imitations"
If you want to be heard and get a reply - at least have a respect to readers, who will try to read your "so-called" English. If you unable to do this - use Babelfish.com - bfish english at least more readable than yours. If you cant - uninstall please

1, his english isn't as bad as some of you imply. It was bad, but with half a seconds thought it made sense to me.

2, Learn to live with it, it's one of the most positive things Anet has worked into the game. So it takes a couple minutes to merchant the stuff 1 slot at a time, it's free gold in the end.
And a note on that, I've a lvl 20, that is very flexible, 55/SS- SS - MM - and a new Grenths Balance build in the works.

I can still keep ALL 3 armor sets, weapons, appropropriate keys, ID, Salvage kit, troll tusk pile, and a minipet. I use no backpack storage, and have a spot here and there left on one bag. Use a little inventory management skills, and you'll not have a problem with accepting new items and merchanting them.


Unless you're one of those guys running around with an inventory full of halloween items, as well as christmas items for sale constantly. Learn to let go man.
I swear, if the effort these people put into selling that crap(alcohol aside of course) they'd make way more money farming, and not annoy everyone i nthe process.

Sorry, offtopic rant.....

This feature is something that saves a player grief. I was happy to see it when I finished a mission, I was bummed because of all the loot I never had a chance to get before the movie rolled...and then, BAM! the unclaimed loot window saved the day.

The game is, rightfully, designed and centered around the people that are making the mission runs because they need to make the runs and might actually need gold/mats/drops... <shock>

Still half of those who reply can't read properly...
Ok so his english isn't all that but what he wanted to say was pretty clear to me.
He's not saying anything about the window popping up at all... He's just stating his annoyance about the window Re-appearing after you closed it.
Now i dunno what everyone else here read in his message but this is what it is about.

I love and depend on that window, especially in Factions where you are being timed on the missions. I don't want to waste time picking up stuff when I'm trying for masters. I'll just leave it and collect it all when I'm back in town.

I guess it's never been a problem for me, as I usually just keep the window open until I make room in inventory for those items.

In fact, I never even KNEW that the window keeps popping up because 3 secs at the merchant, voila, problem solved.

This is just another whine!

If you want anyone to care, you need to use proper spelling and grammer first. If you REALLY want it to be changed, write a formal business letter to Anet.

The box of items needs to be emptied...so you empty it...go to a damn merchant and sell/salvage the crap. Then <gasp> the box will go away!

If you can't be arsed to sell to a merchant then you are probably the same sort of person that would love to be fed intravenously to cut down on all that tedious chewing and hey why bother with the bathroom? Can't we all just wear adult diapers? That would be sweet too right? Honestly this is the laziest thing ever. Presumably anything you do pick up is going to be either stored or merched anyway. You WILL free up some space almost immediately after every mission so why even bother to whine about this? I mean if you can find a use for every POS gold or purple you pick up in mission then good on you but I know seven out of ten times I sell that crap to merchants.

The OP wins the prize for the most pointless and idiotic piss and moan session ever.
