I would love a running feed on the bottom of my screen ticking off running prices for materials and rare materials... like they do with the stock market. I wouldn't want this running at all times, just in the four major outposts in Guild Wars. LA, Kaineng, Kamadan, and Eye of North.

Any suggestions?

Good luck? lol. I would probably trade in my left, well, you know, for such a fantastic tool. D:

Why to?
The servers are checked anytime you talk to a material trader.

The lag it would add won't compensate any possible usefulness.

And I don't see any possible usefulness.
- Discard materials when they drop if their value is too low?
- Going to sell when the price is high and save for when the price is low?
Such things are reasons against, not for the suggestion.

Someone is too lazy to visit the material trader.

Actually, adding an RSS feed wouldn't add lag because we are speaking of text streaming and nothing more, it is actually like adding another channel of chat.

The usefulness come when you are dealing with ecto, shards, rubies, etc... and materials for consumables. This would add a much needed improvement to the current economy of guild wars.

An RSS feed of this sort is low overhead to manage and would add something new to the game. Lastly, it is a suggestion.

As for the lazy comment from the other dude, I don't know how much trading you do... seriously... I do a lot of it. This would help me and a couple other players I know.

I'm not talking abut graphical lag. But server lag.

More server requests are always increase such lag. ALWAYS.
Alliance tags, chats, titles shown, such things are examples of things that, at least slightly, increase lag.

People is not usually by the trader refreshing prices again and agan. Some people may be, but not many.

GW do not need a way to let peope check the price and go to sell when it reaches a peak to gain more.

It's better if people go to the trader and check.

Something that I really don't need and don't care if it gets added. Apart from the possible lag issue I don't really see a problem with this though. The only request I would have with it is it does become another chat channel that I have the option to turn off.

That's why we have traders. I don't think there are enough Japanese Companies to justify implementing this. Just run to the NPC ffs.

i think that on the ifo for the item the posted value would say the current market value of the item
ex. steel ingot::rare crafting material::value: XXXg
