General Trading and Crafting Guild Wars 2 Discussion

[JohnnyV]

Hey everybody, if you have anything to post about general trading or crafting this thread is for you.

GW2 seems to be doing a good job in streamlining all aspects off MMO life. Hopefully they do the same with crafting. GW1 wasn't bad, but some games just have hundreds upon hundreds of different mats that make me want to forgo crafting altogether.

are they remaking the Crafting in GW2?? like add Trade skills or will it still be Some Citys have some gear and others dont?

It would be nice if they'd add something like the Grand Exchange in Runescape for trading. I thought it was an incredibly good idea for Runescape and really worked out well. When buying or selling you don't have to wait hours before someone responds, you can just leave it there and go hunting some more Humans (oh yes, I will be a Charr!).

Something else (off-topic, I know) from another game is the auto-collect button from Sacred 2. I don't really remember it was in Guild Wars (I'm sorry, it's a while ago since I've played it), but its a button you can click/push and it collects everything in a certain range. You can filter it by choosing the minimum rarity of the items to pick up. It makes life a lot easier.

i like the Scared 2 Auto-collect thing your talking about it would be nice, as for Grand Exchange i hate Runescapes Tradeing now, but i do think a AH or broker would be nice to have lol (:

well an exchange/auction house feature has been confirmed call Marketplace, and as far as crafting I posted this in another topic but here is what i said

well some of the info i know of this
they gave a example of 2 people run up to a copper node and player a starts to gather it they get done and it disappears but player sees the same node and its still there and goes up and gathers too.

and as far as i seen the armor does have stats like +17 Agility +10 Perception +10 Strength (lvl 45ish armor) but your stats are already 400 - 520 depending on your build at lvl 45

the Crest, Mark, Talisman of Legion all look to be additional add-ons to armor giving it special bonuses

that being said, they have mentioned upgrading also.
With all the Add-ons I think I will have some fun with crafting and trading more so then in GW1 (trading was painful at best)

Happy hunting, if You don't mind I'll tag along?

i do not think there will be an auto-collect, because from what i saw in the gameplay videos. the items do not fall on the floor, you need to harvest the enemies corpses for loot, something like WoW. so it is unlikely to have an auto pickup system. maybe they will make something like you not being able to aim a looted corpse so it makes it easier to figure which ones still have loot. it would make my life easy enough.

What I really love about the Guild Wars 2 marketplace is the idea that you can not only put items up to auction but you'll be able to put up sell orders as well. You'll be able to put up a listing saying, I want to buy this at this price, and then, if someone wants to sell it to you, it'll just be like a reverse auction. It's pretty cool. I can't say as I've seen that feature in another game.

Everything in GW2 I have experienced so far is about streamlining the fun, and I commend you for it. It is so refreshing to see the mundane taken out of MMO's. That said, with the crafting system, to have to run to the bank--clear out your inventory--then replace it with crafting items(especially with cooking)--then go to the crafting station.
It would be a nice addition to have access to your crafting bank tab while your at the crafting station. Unless there is a reason for running back and forth? And I apologize if this has been discussed before.
