Trading Post buying QOL changes

I would like to propose some QOL changes to the buying experience within the trading post for consideration. None of these are priority changes but could provide some benefit to players if implemented at a later date after bug fixes.

  • As a player I would greatly appreciate a prompt or warning when purchasing items that will lead to my character becoming encumbered and unable to move from the trading post. Any prompt or warning would allow the player to revise the amount being purchased to avoid this situation.

  • As a player, I would like the ability to limit search results by price. Having the ability to set a lower and upper price limit that would be paid for an item would help quickly refine a search.

  • As a player, I would like the ability to filter search results by tier. Setting a minimum tier would show items from that tier and above only. It may be beneficial to add an upper tier filter but this may conflict for some players under 60 with the “Can Equip” option that is already in place.

  • As a player, I would like the ability to limit search results by Gear Score. Currently I can only sort by High>Low or Low>High. Having the ability to narrow search results by setting a lower and/or higher Gear Score would work in conjuction with the “Can Equip” filter that is already in place.

  • A combination of a price filter with a gear score filter would greatly help players when searching for armour or weapons that suit their needs.

  • As a player, I would like the option to set a filter on my search to specify if looking for light/medium or heavy armour. Currently a player must drill down to get to their choice of weight armour and see the search results. This has to be repeated for each armour slot they are looking to fill which is not ideal or efficient.

Just to show the last point in more detail about being able to see armour weight, this is a search for armour with a mining perk. It is a mix of weights and without inspecting each one (or knowing the game inside out) it’s not easily clear what the weight is.

EDIT: Now that all trading posts are merged into one, the far right column is not relevant. As an interim measure this column could be replaced to show weight and at least allow for items to be sorted.

A filter would clear up this view and limit the returned results to just the weight the player is looking for.

This would be in addition to being able to exclude lower GS items and restrict results to within an acceptable price range.

I would also like to add another QOL item:

  • As a player, I would like the ability to filter Trading Post search results to only return items with stat types I am interested in. I would like the ability to select (multiple) stat types e.g. from CON, STR, DEX etc and have the Trading Post show me armour with the stats types I’m interested in. This would be a valuable addition to allow a player to save time having to inspect all items to try and find pieces with stats they are interested in

Quality of item would be great filter as well (rare, epic, legendary…) to avoid junk weapons, armour and tools…
