Guild Augment Slot Visibility

[seobanio]

The new crafting system has represented a huge buff to items with guild augment slots. Unfortunately the only way to know if something has an augment slot is to actually look at the item description. It would be nice if there was a way to see at a glance whether something had an augment slot, especially in end reward lists. I can't imagine the number of times people have picked heroic deeds over an item with a large slot due to this difficulty.

You wouldn't have to actually add the text "large/tiny/etc. guild augment slot" to the item name, this would perhaps be too long and cumbersome. A good way to handle this would be a visual clue that players would rapidly get used to, like an * at the beginning of the item name for a tiny slot, # for a small, etc. Another way to handle it would be to put a colored border around items with augment slots, like how epic items have a purple border except augment slots would get a different color.


EDIT: Also, others have made a good point. It would be REALLY nice to have the ability to search for large guild augment slot items on the AH.

A visual cue would be nice and /signed, but i'd really want to see the text search expanded to keywords.
I see they went with the title, possibly for simplicity, performance and caching but if adding new data is a problem then maybe can still append to the title and let the client parse them out.
It'd be dev time well spent, on the AH that lots of people use, that can save a number of players much time, and that adds to make the search function more complete.

The same can be said of the visual cues, the client could take the keywords and show a small icon for each of them.
You can then see those when scrolling over the AH listings as we have to do now, where we have to read each entry at a glance.
Remember, a big numerous lot of people has visual capabilities, not too fast on catching words at a glance or skimming through lists.

This should be added to the game. ATM the only real way to see it is to search the broker and look for unusually expensive items, ie why is this +2 dex ring costing 100k plat???

In the item icon, it could have a small "G" at the top right?

And AH could have a checkbox for "w/Guild Augment".

I'd be happy with a t/s/m/l subscript on one corner of the item icon.

The difference in value between a +2 Dexterity Ring of Tumble +7 with no augment slot, and the same ring with a Large Guild Slot is enormous.

One goes for less than a thousand platinum, the other fetches a good fraction of a million.
