Let's say you bought 10 stacks of charged cores and 5 stacks of mithril.  You want to pick up only mithril - currently, there is no way of picking up only the items you want. Either all or none at all.

Well the trading post is not your extended bankspace/material storage mate so that why this is not going  to happen.

Not sure what you mean. I am not asking to be able to put stuff back into the trading post pick-up box (that would indeed make it an extended bank space). All I ask for is to be able to pick up selected items so that I do not end up with inventory clogged with stuff I do not need at the moment. Especially important when I have limited space in my inventory and need (using the example above) all of the mithril before ecto.

But you do the way you put in stuff is buy it from the trading post and then you pick and chose what to take out, so in essence making it your extended bank space for free.

What's the difference between buying the next expansion for $60 or buying a whole new Guild Wars game for $60?  

It's more of a choice between continuing with Anet into GW3 or looking around at all the available options. There may be something more appealing already available. Heck, in the years between announcing GW3 and its release, I may already give up on GW2. Maybe Riot's hot new MMO will be out?

That said, I've been playing GW since early GW1 days, with breaks now and then, so have definitely been loyal to Anet.

Not even going to prove how wrong your "logic" is. You have a right to dislike the idea but your arguments are simply invalid.

No, he's right. Why do you think there is a fee to place something for sale? If no fee, people could just throw stuff on the TP at prices nobody would pay, then cancel the sale when they want that item back in inventory. Not picking up everything you buy is similar, you are essentially buying stuff and storing it on the TP.

Maybe it is time to invest in more storage?

Dear Guild Wars 2 Team,

I'm reaching out to you with a heartfelt wish that moves many of us who have been loyal to you since 2012. Through Pride of the Lion, we've gotten a glimpse of the "old Lion's Arch" that we miss so much. Old Lion's Arch was the soul of Guild Wars 2 for me, the city that transported me to a magical fantasy world. Your artistic world design, which makes Guild Wars 2 so unique, was especially evident in this city.

Please let us relive the "old Lion's Arch" as it once was. Please make this town attractive again by removing the glider and mount ban. It would be a small effort for you, but a great event for us players - we who long for it so much. It would fit in with the Season 1 update.

I hope and believe that you will listen to the Guild Wars 2 community and fulfill our wishes with just a few clicks. Sincerely, Eximius - with you from the beginning.

Please add a Strike Mission entrance and Eye of the North Instances entrance (Marionette, Dragonstorm, Dragon response mission ect) in Lion's Arch next to the Dungeon and Raid entrance. An additional NPC that points you to the next World boss would also be a nice addition there.

No. Absolutely not. Old Lion's Arch is a snapshot of that place in time. It does not need gliders nor does it need mounts. It needs to stay as it is.

The only thing we need to do is fix the Lion's Pride key.

No. Absolutely not. Lion's Pride key is a gimmick item. It does not need to function like a lounge.

The only thing we need to do is fix the litany of issues with the game.

No glider and mounts please. Makse sense to have it without them - as ShadowKatt explained, because it was set in the past where we did not have gliders and mounts yet. Already weird that the Marionett instance allows gliding.

There are a few older semi-related threads, but nothing specific so I see no need to necro any of them.

I have loved the look of the Phantasm Weapons from the very first time I saw them, and decided I needed them for my Mesmer (at least the class-usable ones). Just like the Spirit Weapons were lifted from Guardian skills, with a few exceptions these clearly came from Mesmer Phantasm skills; the idea behind both obviously being that they would mainly appeal to players of those classes. I slowly ground out my first three way back in the early days of the game, got the uncraftable Urchin's Needles from some random drop ages ago, and after I returned years later I resumed building my collection.

Except for the fact that there is no Phantasm Weapons "Collection," even after all this time (not for Spirit Weapons either). It's technically not even a weapon set; they're all considered to be standalones. Also not helpful, some weapon types don't even exist in this style like staff, torch, rifle, warhorn, bows etc. Yet there are two different options each for pistol*, focus and spear; go figure. Holographic Dragon Bash and SAB Hardlight weapons can be semi-reasonable substitutes for the missing options, but since the Phantasm weapons are based on a mixture of the (complete) Royal Ascalonian, Pact and basic weapon models, why not just finish them out? If the truly hideous Abomination and Saryx weapons deserve full(ish) sets and collections with achievements, why not these classics?

Spoiler

Re pistols:  There is literally no reason other than an unhealthy lore obsession to craft both Lyss and Ilya because they’re visually identical and the wardrobe system made item-reskinning a trivial process a couple years after launch. At the time they were created that wasn’t the case, but Mesmers couldn’t equip dual pistols at the time and still can’t. At least the focus and spear options feature visually different designs.

I think it’s high time these got their own official “Collection” and the handful of missing items added. I have 9 out of a possible 13, and plan to stop at 10 because I’m only doing one each of the items with two options. However, if an official “Collection” existed with an achievement and title/item or somesuch, I might actually have an incentive to grind for the "duplicates" anyway. I farmed most of the mats myself over time so the cost isn’t exactly equivalent but for someone to duplicate my current collection starting today, it would add up to a total price of about 2325g in current materials costs (plus 45 Spirit Shards):

  • 9 Eldritch Scrolls
  • 20 Crystal Lodestones
  • 30 Giant Eyes
  • 600 Mystic Coins
  • 750 Ancient Wood Planks
  • 2250 Ectoplasm
  • 4000 Orichalcum Ingots

That roughly matches the average BLT sell price for a Gen1 or Gen3 Legendary, and that’s not even 75% of them! For that kind of investment, getting them all seems like it should be worth at least a wearable title. It’s far more time and effort than the “Gourmet Training” achievement, which gives qualifying characters both a title and a Legendary Kitchen (so to speak).

As it is now the weapon skins are their own reward; I guess I just can’t understand why such a unique and visually striking set of weapons (that were literally designed for use in Mesmer skills) isn’t actually a “set” at all, thus it cannot be officially “collected.”

 

Also: Phantasmal Infusion (this but Mesmer-colored) when?

There's no "fix" needed to the key because it's not broken, literally works as intended and your request is baseless.

Even moreso when you just wrote this:

You are funny bro. Tell me more how I should invest more in storage space when I have it maxed on both accounts xDDD. You really have to believe I have bad intentions and aim for some shady shenanigans. It is quite sad that you just suspect people you do not know without any obvious reason.

But anyway, to be fair it was never my intention to do stuff you described. All I ask for is that if I have 10 slots in inventory and 15 stacks to pick up, make me choose which 10 I want to pick (I still can be forced to pick 10 just let me choose the order). Quite often items I need are left in the pickup box while my inventory gets full of stuff I do not need yet. It is quite often that I buy a lot of things I need to refine (wood logs/metal ore) before combining it with e.g. venom sacks. All I ask for is to be able to skip venom sacks whilst I do not need them and pick ores/logs.

Also two huge differences between bank functionality and selective pickup:

1. Bank/material storage offers you on-demand withdrawal and storing and acts both ways. Selective pickup is just a one-way process. 

2. Stuff stored in the bank can be used directly for crafting, mystic forge refinement, listing on the TP, etc. If you want to do anything with stuff in the pickup box of the TP you have to pick them up before doing anything.

 

Also quick question: Do you believe it should be considered a punishable abuse to intentionally not pick up items from TP? Because it expands your inventory space... As you described it "you are essentially buying stuff and storing it on the TP."

Yes it already is since you have to pick them up to use them and you have to pick up everything that is said punishment.

If your way get implemented I could see Anet charge a tax on items per sec/min or even hour it is left in the trading post box to discurage said usage.

And yes Im a horder aswell got 3 fully level up guild banks and 2 alt account mails full with stuff aswell as my main account with max bank and very little storage on each character.

Nothing changes in that matter.

As I said, keeping the requirement to fill up the inventory to 100% is fine. Just let players pick in the order they need the items, not the order they came into the pickup box.

Before August, all I wanted to be added was an activities NPC for when participating in an activity came up as a daily.

But since I don't do dailies anymore, I fully agree with absolutely no changes.

I'm not going to rehash what I've already explained in another thread. There are more travel items that function like lounge passes without being lounge passes. Your arguement is entirely baseless. It can and should be fixed to function as a return to position.

Well that is not what we have now you have to pick up everything 15 stacks even if you only have 1 slot in inventory so just no your inability to manage your inventory dont mean the whole trading post box system need to change.

Just send some mails to your alt account before picking stuff up it can hold 60 mails while first 10 of those are visible.

Edit

This is if it  works like looting with an overflow bag since I never done it myself.

You didn't explain much, it's more that you dropped out of it when it was proven that your comparisons were bad and your demands didn't match the complaint. It's not baseless, because whatever you claimed "also returned you to your old position" doesn't have any of the lounge/city utilities.
So without change there's still no reason for it to somehow "return you to position".

 

Here's the post talking about it in your thread:

And absolutely point me where you addressed anything about it. You didn't. You just quoted first sentence of that post and carefully avoided the rest of it. So don't claim you "explained" anything there, because that's false. What's "baseless" is your request, as explained in the post above as well as later in this one:
