Default Insignia Vendor

I don't think ArenaNet realizes how frustrating it is to get insignias you want. You have to stalk the Rune Trader for hours at a time just to get the insignia you want.

Why can't there just be an insignia vendor? It would make life a lot easier...

In the meantime...spacebar, scroll down, spacebar, scroll down...

The rune trader is definitely a bit over-populated with salable items (or will be when they're actually there x_x), and it's only going to get more and more full with each new professions.

I'd definitely prefer to see the rune trader only selling runes, with a separate insignia trader/vendor.

Yeah I'm going to have to agree on this one... I'm not liking the new armor stuff this round. Instead of Insignias they should have kept with the armor purchasing system they had with Factions.

i would like if they seperated the types of runes and insignias with big bold letters for each class, otherwise i have no problem. I know I can get my insignias for my armor once the economy settles down.

/notsigned on this Specific idea, since I don't see them adding in a whole nother NPC into each of the capital cities of every game (would be somewhat tricky where to place him etc)
Instead, make the rune trader more like the priest of bathazar. Have sperate tabs that seperate via profession or have a rune tab and a insigna tab just to clear up the clutter.

I agree, armor system from factions are better than the new Insignias.

I like inscriptions, I think they're a valid and useful part of the game. No more multiple 15k sets for different effects, unless thats how you want to be set up...

But, for the Insignia vendor /signed

I don't like having to scroll down to see insignias either, however if they don't make one I wouldn't be supprised. After all, once they're all readily available (which ought to happen eventually) it will just be one more mod to buy for the Guild Hall.

Its just the unfortunate side effects of a newly released expansion/game.

The rune trader will calm down after a few weeks and then we will be able to get all the runes and insignias we need. It will just take time for people to find them and sell them to the trader to sell to us.

I like this idea.. and I've recently been saving the useful insignias that I find, but I'm still looking for one Radiant one.

No, it won't. It will never subside.

Demand for Radiant Insignias, for example, will always remain the same, and the supply for Radiant Insignias will always remain the same.

However, it would be alot more use if we could at any time switch to past insignias that were runes onto the armor, making the whole idea of insignias a whole lot more useful.

This is exactly why I feel some sort of Insignia Crafter should be made.

I was only able to get one Radiant insignia in the last few days, and it was purchased from a player with a steep markup. Only have between 27 and 31 more to go, depending on how many sets of armors I want to craft.

I really think your worrying too much.

Look at how factions started out. You couldnt get your hands on ass or rit runes for weeks.

Yet now you can easily enough.

Umm.. Wrong.

Now that NF is out, everybody is buying new armor for their old characters and for there 2 new NF characters. Once people start getting radiant insignias on those armors, demand will die down. (ie, once I get my umm.. 16 "neccessary" radiant insignias, I'm not going to keep buying them).

/Sign for having a seperate vendor

It wont make a difference to supplies though as all the vendors sell is what is sold to them.

/not signed for new npc (i don't want to pay for another guildhall npc )

a little clean up of the trader gui should be enough... just make a tab for each profession
