Reorganizing Renown Gear traders

Post#1 » Sun Mar 13, 2016 11:34 am

Hi,
I was wondering if reorganizing the gear trading a bit might help.
Currently the Vendors are grouped by useable currency and/or tier, meaning you'd need to visit 2 to 3 to have a look at all the swords(as an example) that you'd be able to use.
Wouldn't it make more sense to group them by kind of gear they sell - so a trader for twohanded weapons(including staffs), one for onehanded weapons, one for helmets etc., so that the comparison is easier to do?
I would group Books/Chalices and shields as specialized gear tho, since there is no class using a combination of those.

(couldn't find a similar topic, but the search might just have failed me)

that is a very short, pretty uninformative answer :P
I assume it's a time related issue or is it designed in a way, that vendors can only accept one currency?

No. It's just that what you're proposing is a worse system than the current one.

The only bad part about the current vendor system to me is that I always forget what vendor is selling exactly what. So I usually end up clicking and scrolling through all (t1-t3) of them to find what I want... at least that's how it is in Altdorf.

Would be nice if they would be named accordingly, like, Devastator here, Duelist there, etc...

Yeah, probably still not be that good, I know...

I'm not sure how
"I'm going to the 1 handed vendor to buy the best avaible one-handed weapon"
is worse than
"I'm going to check all vendors with one-handed weapons until I find the one with the best avaible one-handed weapon".

And that doesn't even take into account the searching that is currently happening to find the verdors with weapons at all.

Another one of these...
Op makes some post to fix something that isn't broken.
Dev tells OP no.
OP says some snarky remark about it being a short answer.
Dev says no and explains.
OP insists he knows better than the Dev and lists reasons why the thing that isn't broken can be made better.
OP starts getting trolled by the community.

The devs have more important things to work on like perhaps t4? So why don't we just let them do what they think is best? Great thanks.

I really don't understand what the problem here is. All vendors are in one place in Altdorf/IC and the amount of items isn't big enough to get confused by.
Pretty much always afk or tabbed out.

Actually I just requested more information in regards to that answer.
Dev says no and explains.
Something that would have been nice as a first reply btw ;) would have made sure I didn't need to ask for a more informative answer.

You might want to learn some english - I never claimed I knew better. I also never said anything was broken btw...

a) not relevant b) not relevant c) no
You fail when you assume that T4 would suffer noticeably from having some items reorganized AND when you assume, that it needs to be done before T4. I never claimed either.

@Druin Quality of life mostly, as in knowing exactly what vendor is the right one for the kind of item you want.

Edit: Removed something that was not constructive

You're getting the responses you're getting because you're complaining about something trivial that isn't broken.

You want the best one-handed weapon? You have to check the AH (for PvE stats), the SC / renown vendors, which are both in the same place, and the influence rewards. This isn't worth changing and your proposed system is even worse for players seeking to view items in a natural class (renown, PvE, scenario, RvR set).
