Request: Identify/Salvage All Button?
Kamahl FistofKrosa
Any farmers out there find identifying/salvaging your loot takers longer than the actual farming run? You have to move items around so you can identify/salvage each bag? Isn't it annoying...

Identify all - Yes. I love that idea.
Salvage all - Sounds great, but may lead to several mistakes and a lot of rants about 'omfg i did not wnt 2 salvge DAT 1'
I know, it's their owwn fault ifi hey use the feature, but will they listen? Proobably not.

yea, the salvage all could become a problem if you arent paying attention, but i dont see how the id all would be a problem unless you are into selling unid stuff
Racthoh
Identify all, yes please.

the trouble with IDing is tha tyou can do it on whites, which is pretty useless (except the price goes up i read apparently?) anyway, if you could make it only ID the colour of your choice, then groovey and /signed.
Salvage all button - Achk!H I'd be the idiot screaming in Drok's that id salvaged all my worldy goods, I can see alot of people with different armour sets crying miserably iun the corner...lol. So i wudnt use this feature at all, and would have it turned off all the time, so /not signed for that one, id rather spend the extra time salvaging only what iwant to do rather than risk loosing it all.

price does not go up by IDing white items, it jsut shows it in the description.

Definately definately true, price of whites does go up after identifying. I read it on another thread yesterday, didnt believe it and went and checked. What do you know... some doubled in price! Not sure if the price increase will cover the cost of the id kits in the long run though and cant be arsed to do the maths. 
eSe
yes for identify

Although it does take a little time, I would rather decide what I want to identify and what I want to salvage. So I would only say yes if it was an option and not universal.

Identify all would be great, it should be added.
Salvage all on the other hand would be very very bad. Example:
"Blah Blah's Team has won Hall of Heroes!"
*Click chest*
"OMG!!!! RARE REQ8 CRYSTALLINE!!!!"
*Identify All*
"OMG!!! 15^50!!!!!"
*1 hour later*
"OMG, SO MANY RARE RUNES FARMZORING TEH ETTINS!!!!"
*Identify All*
"OMG SUP VIGOR AND ABSORB!!!"
*Salvage All*
At this point, an astute person would come to the conclusion that the person would have put the Crystalline in storage, and also that a person who wins HoH would most likely not be farming Ettins an hour later. But lets pretend he didn't put it in Storage, and DID go farming. Bye bye awesome item. This would most likely happen, but less extreme.

/signed for mass ID
However, you do realize you don't have to move things around to ID and salvage, right? Hit F9 to see your entire inventory at once.

Sometimes I don't want that mod or rune, but instead I want the materials.

I would hate to salvage good weapons,armors,etc, plus some rare materials might get salvaged such as steel ingots, etc.

I don't really see many upsides to this. IMHO you shouldn't be id'ing anything that isn't rare anyways. The only reason I will ID blues or purples is to see if the item has any salvageable mods on it, and if it does I'll use my standard salvage kit on it instead of the expert salvage kit (so I get crafting materials instead of the crappy mods). The only benefit of using an expert salvage kit over a standard salvage kit is the possibility of getting rare crafting materials (parchment from off-hands, steel from wands, etc).
The salvage all idea would never really work. Can you imagine how bad you would freak out when you salvaged that HOD sword that wasn't equipped in your weapon slots? Or how about your 2nd or 3rd set of armor? I know I carry extra weapons and armor always as I do a lot of swapping. So salvaging everything but equipped items wouldn't work as a fix.

/signed on the Identify all button... or an NPC for it... we could name him "Deckard Cain" too....
salvage all could cause problems in the end,but so could an identify all button (ever played Diablo and forgot you had that unided hydra bow in your cube?)

Materials (common or rare) cannot be (further) salvaged.

id all <-- signed signed signed -- ace idea
how about salvage all 'white' all 'blue' etc, becuase you do not always want runes from rarer items; the materials are often better/more valuable, so the ability to distinguish between them would be ace.

I had this idea, but I had a better way to do it.
No need for more buttons
Shift+Double click Identify Kit ---> Identify all possible (If there are multiple Identify kits, they will be used until all items in inventory are identified.
Shift+Double Click Salvage Kit ---> Opens Salvage panel, a window like the spare items one (the one that shows up when you leave a mission without taking something asigned to you). The window will have 25 slots, and when you hit 'Salvage' button, a confirmation window will show up, hit Ok, and the items in the window will be salvaged for materials. One salvage use at the same time will be used, and only of the same type of salvage kit.
If your superior salvage kit has 15 uses left, you have a normal salvage kit with 10 uses and put 25 items to salvage, you'll get only 15 items salvaged and the rest will stay in the inventory.
To salvage mods and inscriptions, you'll have to do it manually.

Lazy buggars!
3 clicks per item is too much? You have to read each one anyways.
Same thing I put for the the guy who wanted an auto sort thing for invntory.
If you can't handle ID or salvaging per item, maybe GW is a little too much clicking for you. Try pbskids.org, probably more your speed.

ALSO: ANet has ID and Salvage functions linked to their anti-bot code. A global method would be really popular with botters.
And based on all the complaints about botters and the end of western civilization, I don't think this suggestion would be a keeper.

Well... to split stockable items there is already a +Shift option, so it is posible to make a Double Cllick+Shift option for Identify kist and identify everything in a single shot.
Anythng keepeng faithful players away from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is good.
