Hello Carbine/players,
 
Here are some small quality of life improvement suggestions which I believe will help this game a lot. Every company appreciates free feedback on their product (negative or positive) so here you are, this one's on me.
Take these suggestions on-board or ignore them, it's your product so do whatever you feel is best.
 
If anyone cares enough about this game and can see a problem with these suggestions, please reply below to discuss.
 
 
USER INTERFACE
- show when an item's rune slot has been already re-rolled (so we don't have to destroy the rune to find out!)
- add what the imbuement does to the item tooltip (before completing it, so we know if it's worth doing or not)
- auto stack items to guild bank when depositing and vice versa into your inventory for withdrawals
- allow players to click buttons without waiting for the slow moving mouseover "highlight" animation to complete (this is a terrible design)
- stop randomizing the position of the buffs on the housing board buff each day (or are Carbine purposely trolling players?) or at least allow dispelling and re-taking of a different housing buff not yet obtained to fix mistakes from clicking wrong
 
 
PARTY PLAY
- merging parties option (into raid groups)
- option to only show your own debuffs on an enemy target
- allow us to equip two sets of gear, linked to each action set (to promote alt-role playing and help fill LFG queues faster maybe)
- smart loot in parties based on amount of each class there is (ie, not completely random or giving BOP engineer gun when NO engineers are in the party/raid!)
- ability to dispel the bonfire buff and re-take it when you want (to be in-sync with your party/raid)
- spectator mode for raids, so guests can watch raids
 
 
TRAVELLING
- option to mute taxi (without needing addon)
- option to STOP at next taxi waypoint and refund extra gold spent accordingly (you can occidentally click then be stuck for ages...)
 
 
PROMOTE RE-PLAY (ALTS)
- all gold go into account bank
- all crafting materials go into account bank with a larger stack size
- account based achievements system (worked well in some other games)
 
 
PURCHASABLE CASH-SHOP OPTIONS
- rename guild
- change path
- change race
 
 
TRADE
- raise AH/CE posting limits (25 is ridiculous) at least for the CE
- on CE remove 50 items limit per search and have pages like the AH does
- on CE add "only show available" option (withtout addon, as this only shows available within the limited results displayed)
- allow the API to export CE/AH data so people can make better addons for AH/CE and create websites with live item lists etc... (see gw2spidy for example)
- put housing items back on the CE and fix the mess-up with non-existing item listings that happened last time this was attempted. Housing item's don't move fast in trade so they should belong in the CE, not AH
- on AH, remove all keywords that were suspected to to bring "too many results" when in actual reality there are few to none of these items actually listed, it is unnecessary

- show when an item's rune slot has been already re-rolled (so we don't have to destroy the rune to find out!) yes please!
- add what the imbuement does to the item tooltip (before completing it, so we know if it's worth doing or not) +1
- auto stack items to guild bank when depositing and vice versa into your inventory for withdrawals +1
- allow players to click buttons without waiting for the slow moving mouseover "highlight" animation to complete (this is a terrible design) I honestly haven't noticed this.
- stop randomizing the position of the buffs on the housing board buff each day (or are Carbine purposely trolling players?) or at least allow dispelling and re-taking of a different housing buff not yet obtained to fix mistakes from clicking wrong 10% bonus is always on top, just look before you click
 
 
PARTY PLAY
- merging parties option (into raid groups) meh
- option to only show your own debuffs on an enemy targetwe definitely need more buff/debuff filtering!
- allow us to equip two sets of gear, linked to each action set (to promote alt-role playing and help fill LFG queues faster maybe) could be useful, but organizing your gear in your bag works just as well.
- smart loot in parties based on amount of each class there is (ie, not completely random or giving BOP engineer gun when NO engineers are in the party/raid!) Ugh... no. The hand-outs have to stop.
- ability to dispel the bonfire buff and re-take it when you want (to be in-sync with your party/raid) PLEASE!!!
- spectator mode for raids, so guests can watch raids I think this would start causing far too much lag for the raiders. WS is already resource heavy, use Twitch if you want to spectate.
 
 
TRAVELLING
- option to mute taxi (without needing addon)lol just silly
- option to STOP at next taxi waypoint and refund extra gold spent accordingly (you can occidentally click then be stuck for ages...) I can see the usefulness here.
 
 
PROMOTE RE-PLAY (ALTS)
- all gold go into account bank
- all crafting materials go into account bank with a larger stack size
- account based achievements system (worked well in some other games)
I could go along with shared mats/gold, what I vehemently oppose here is account-bound achievements. For me, that's limiting replayability, not expanding it.
 
 
PURCHASABLE CASH-SHOP OPTIONS
- rename guild
- change path
- change race
This may seem harmless, but you're still asking for a cash shop in which services are hidden behind yet another paywall to paying, subscribing customers. We should have access to these things without having to pay extra. As innocent as it seems, the introduction of any kind of cash shop will be detrimental.
 
TRADE
- raise AH/CE posting limits (25 is ridiculous) at least for the CE
- on CE remove 50 items limit per search and have pages like the AH does
- on CE add "only show available" option (withtout addon, as this only shows available within the limited results displayed)
- allow the API to export CE/AH data so people can make better addons for AH/CE and create websites with live item lists etc... (see gw2spidy for example)
- put housing items back on the CE and fix the mess-up with non-existing item listings that happened last time this was attempted. Housing item's don't move fast in trade so they should belong in the CE, not AH
- on AH, remove all keywords that were suspected to to bring "too many results" when in actual reality there are few to none of these items actually listed, it is unnecessary 
 Everything here except moving decor back to the CX. I quite like it on the AH because I can auction it rather than sit on it for a week trying to get top dollar and losing money the whole time I'm trying to do so.

Hi Tek, thanks for your comments, sorry with cash shop what I meant was add it to the existing purchasable options from the official website (also reducing the cost to rename your char would be nice, it's way overpriced at the moment).
 
"10% bonus is always on top, just look before you click"
 
Sorry but no it's not. The position of the 10% bonus OR the position of pvp/pve/group pve seems to be completely random every single day.
The same goes for the weekly housing board daily quest in Thayd unless I'm mistaken.  Fixing the root cause of this "randomization" may kill two birds with one stone.

I agree with all of it to some extent except for your "PURCHASABLE CASH-SHOP OPTIONS" category. I do not agree with changing your profession needing to be a cash shop offering. If anything this title should get with the times, and adapt a way to play what you want on one character. I feel limitations are quite an old concept that has shown it's age in a poor way.
 
If anything enforcing strict limitations on what someone is capable of doing on a per character basis simply bars players from doing what they want when they want. The more dynamic an offering the better. As opposed to highly linear options that force you to create new character(s) anytime you wish to see more of the games content or find a playstyle that suits you.

As an aside, there are addon solutions for linking gear <-> LAS with
- MrFancyPants (still best addon name ever) + optionally PotatoTweaks to make it automatic
- Gear (more recent addon taking advantage of new gear API from Carbine)
 
There is also support for gear swapping at the API level now so it's not too unlikely that we see a built-in equipment manager at some point.
Originally this was only possible with a very clever workaround MrFancyPants author found.

Hi Tek, yes this is an addon changing the graphic design ("instant quest accept") but the list is the same as in original UI also.

			lol guess I never noticed. :p

			A+ list.

I really like most of these suggestions.  I would not mind seeing changing path/race/class, but make them available with credd.  
 
Also, I am 120% with you on the gear management stuff.  I currently have a DPS, Tank and PVP tank set in my inventory, as well as tech/food/boosts for raiding and pvp.  This leaves me very few bag slots.  If I wanted to put together a pvp dps set, I would pretty much be looking at zero bag space.  Why discourage people from doing more things in your game with something as archaic as bags?

			The raid spectator thing is really cool.  Great suggestions in general though.

I love the ideas on alts, account wide unlock or achievements would be awesome!
 
No more attunement please!

Big fan of the LAS gear idea imo it would totally work making new players more keen on dual roles whilst leveling. Now people have to get Vince build and or kurona bags to get the desired effect. Make it easier. To fill roles carbine you will be thanking yourself in the long run. 
 
Also a big big fan of having a an account wide trades kills bag with limits up to how many characters you have. Normally you get say 250 mourningstar in one stack per toon, make it 1500 maximum over 6 toons. 
 
This would be advantageous for alt leveling and just quality of life and another feature that other games do not even have. 
 
Big fan of having spectator mode in raids and dungeons, or just increase the radius of movement when a player dies. Would make the learning curve better for a massive influx of new. Players. 
 
I like the option to cancel a taxi mid. Flight and just fall to your death or do a quick movement ability to save your life. I don't know. How many times people have just clicked on a 15 min flight path to kill SW when we have summoners
