inventory management needs a boost

[unholy1]

it was the sole reason i started playing only one of my 17 characters... long story short turbine looses money when we play only one character, which really surprises me that they did not have the foresight to see that with the advent of the tr mechanism all but the petulantly infirmed bedridden and unemployed would be able to put enough time in to have multiple completionists - < props to you if you do have one> - never the less my least favorite part of TR ing which i feel is most of what the lack of endgame has spend doing for the last year or so, is undoubtedly cleaning the TR cache. THE SHARED BANK SHOULD HAVE TABS FOR ORGANIZATION JUST LIKE OUR INVENTORY. It could be list style so you can see all similar types side by side. No more scrolling through 6 bank bags looking for BTA or non bound equipment to move to the shared bank. Either that or let the TR cache roll over. regardless there needs to be some streamlining of the inventory management system. I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO BE ABLE TO SEARCH ALL GEAR ON ALL TOONS AT ONCE. this would make finding who has my lvl 5 helm of frost really easy or where i put those guild renown pots. as well there shoudl be ways to search for gear based on every specification of the item. ASAH AND AH SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEARCH BY AUGMENT SLOTS OLD AND NEW.

For me, shared bank isn't a huge deal due to it not being as large as other banks, but the Item Type view being available to the normal Bank and TR cache would be huge.

And I soooooo need the ability to search all toons at once. More than once have I looked for something where I think it should be.... not find it... spend ages scouring every corner of ever mule only to eventually realize it was basically where I thought it was but I missed it somehow. May not say much about my ability to find things...

AH searching on slots would rule too. I can see them leaving out guild slots, just because those are old they may not be worth the dev time. But modern stuff should be searchable. Heck, I'd also like a checkbox to list only named items.... I hate browsing through random stuff just to see if there are any interesting named things available....

Account wide search tab in shared bank that would check all mails, TR caches, inventories and banks of all characters ? Please.
It can be such a pain in the arse to look for some stuff.

you could always charge us astral shards to change BTC to BTA or BTA to unbound!! since astral shards are now becoming the new plat make a way as well for astral shards to be traded or at least bought like point bundles with cards that have a number thats tradeable.

You're not likely to get any support on this one due to unbinding items that are meant to be bound on acquire like raid loot. I'm not saying Turbine won't do it, but it would be dirty of them to do so. Might as well just go and make every item in the game completely unbound instead so it doesn't reek of a money grab.

I do agree that it would be a nice option to be able to trade shards straight up to other players or swap them for points cards/codes. Those two elements are the biggest things missing from making this new currency work.

dirty or not dirty doesn't make sense in the online e-commerce economy. dollars make sense. there have been quite a few unpopular overtly greedy things that have happened but im not going into that here. what this is, is an opportunity for it to be a win/win. turbine makes a few small mods to acct inventory/economy and charges us for it. we gladly have something that has been needed since feb 2006 and they get more of what they want. revenue. i don't know a single person that wouldn't like to trade astral shards or have the ability to search all players banks and inventory's at once. as a matter of fact i would be willing to pay for it. as it is already we pay for additional character spaces even if we earned them pre F2P model. we as well pay for additional bag space and bank space and bags all things related to inventory. Im just trying to shed some light on why they don't expound on such an easy feature to capitalize on.
