Returning player, and I have to say that the UI in this game really needs some work. When this game came out, it was good enough but it hasn't aged well. The UI just "gets the job done" but needs an extra coat of polish. The best UI is one that conveys a lot of info in a short amount of time. Starting with the worst problems IMO, so the criticism will start the most harsh. Inventory. Going through my inventory is a chore. I like that you have a button to automatically deposit crafting materials and to compact the inventory. A grid of icons does not convey much though so figuring out what to keep is a slow process. A sortable list of items would be preferred, but a sort button would be sufficient. I often find myself logging off instead of dealing with this.Crafting. I get that crafting shouldn't be too easy but the discovery system has got to go. Its just clicking a recipe with extra steps since everyone just looks up a guide. We're not making decisions so it isn't depth. I'll be honest. This is the reason I haven't done a whole lot of crafting. I usually love crafting in MMOs.Boons and conditions. Just need to be more easily read at a glance. Especially conditions. Add in some more distinct coloring to different types of conditions. Especially those the player has a chance to act on.Action bars. While this is the thing you'll see the most, I'd say its the lesser of the issues. I'd just like some alternate shapes to the action bars. A lot of people have a MMO mouse and it would be nice to have a version of the action bar that matches that layout. The action bars as they are work and can be gotten used to.GW2 doesn't allow UI addons. Which is fine. But that also means the dev team takes full burden for making a good UI.
