Mods and inscriptions are the last obstacle to reasonable access to all equipment to all players. It should have been here a long time ago.

The amount of time it takes to sell mods has made me give up even keeping them. A mod trader would vastly help my cash flow.

I don't have time to look for someone who's selling/buying mods I need/have
btw: why do retards do this /signed or /unsigned thing more than one time? They think they're more important?

Great idea and it should have been implemented long ago. The heartache that is the gw trading system should be avaoided as much as possible.

There are a lot of unpopular max mods out there, and hanging around in trade chat for hours just to find the one person who does x-mod. A mod trader would be fantastic. A trader would also keep prices at a steady value.

Now of course you are going to say well just don't buy it from NPC vendors. But, you need to realise that everyone would start dumping these into the NPC vendors and nobody would be selling them anymore. That's the fun of bartering and looking for your items that NPC's don't have EVERY flippin item in the game for sale.

nosireebobtater don't ever do this Anet or you'll lose a mass of people

/unsigned /unsigned /unsigned.

What the heck? If I read this right you are not signing because you have fun trying to buy one from a random person by sitting around in a major city spamming WTB xxx for an hour? I doubt there is a 'mass of people' who want to waste time trading instead of actually playing.

Its so very hard trying to get any mod thats not sundering or fortitude.

The only problem I see with this is that the prices will probably plummet. I sell tons of things to merchant just because I can't be bothered to waste an hour selling to players just for 10k max. Assuming I'm not the only person like this, there would be a much greater influx of mods and everything would end up being very very cheap.

Pyro maniac · Nov 08, 2007, 04:30 PM // 16:30

donno, the WTB mods take me less then 2 minutes on average, the WTS are a lot harder
if this is implented, alot of people will dump their weapon mods, where the average price of 15^50 and +5 energy mods go under 1k.
Then there will be more QQ threads about people who can't make money anymore, since everything is worthless.

MithranArkanere · Nov 08, 2007, 04:36 PM // 16:36

The money is made selling weapons and rare items, not mods.

The sooner it's done, the better.

On top of that, drops rates could be changed, since traders would make stuff more available, so the rare mods become a bit more rare. And people can also get cash by directly selling them but wasting time sittin in the outposts, like with runes.

i've always hated spamming and trading
selling is my job i don't want to bring it ingame!!where i'm supposed to have fun!
those who still want to sell for higher prices can still spam away!

The ability to buy and sell mods to a specific NPC makes sense

Caged Fury · Nov 08, 2007, 04:50 PM // 16:50

/signed

I'm not much of a WTB/WTS person. Alot of the max mods I find I tend to use on my own weapons or for my heroes. If I can't make use of it, I give to guildies or sell to merchant. There are some mods I've never encountered during my travels/farms or even in the Trade chat. I'd like to be able to just buy them quickly from a npc, fit it to a weapon and carry on doing with whatever.

Buying normal mod's (like 15^50, +30 hp, +5e etc.) is quite easy, but if I need something like a 20% vs Dragons mod (drakes count as dragons) it is near to impossible to get. Selling mod's usually takes ages for me, don't like wasting time selling stuff. My whole storage is full with max-weapon mod's I can't sell.

Rehnahvah Gahro · Nov 20, 2007, 12:10 PM // 12:10

Well no matter how hard I tried and looked in Sticky Sardelac Sanatorium, I couldn't find this thread until a mod pointed me here... this is no thread necromancy, I wanted to Rebirth it ^^. So I'll add most of my text here.

IMHO it would be the most efficient way to include that kind of NPC. It would work just like the Material Trader, Rare Material Trader, Rune Trader, Rare Scroll Trader etc.: All possible Upgrades/Inscriptions with all possible stats (from 11^50 to 15^50, from Sundering 20/10 to Sundering 20/20) with the ability of sold out items, just like other Trader NPCs.

I see no reason whatsoever why such an NPC should not exist.

To list some of the major Pros:
- It takes a lot of pressure off the trade channel
- It will solve the storage problem for hundreds of thousands
- It will take less than 10 seconds to find your preferred upgrades without standing hours in outposts spamming WTBWTBWTB
- The casual gamer has a chance to buy 20/19 instead of 20/20 if he wants to, in order to save a lot of money without having a major disadvantage.
- After a short time we will have more or less stable prices, just like other merchants
- It will take money out of the game (and according to Anet this is a good thing)

And to Anet: If you are not including / never wanted to include such a Trader NPC for a reason, then please name that reason.

/signed for inscription/mod trader. It would be very helpful and make finding what you are looking for a lot easier. Plus some people have trouble keeping up with all the prices this would help keep some from being ripped off.

*plays 'Cry Me a River' by Justin Timberlake for all opposed.*

There's no f*cking economy to begin with. You have no rational arguement against this. People still sell runes amongst each other, yet there's a rune merchant. People still sell materials amongst each other, yet there's a materials merchant. Dont even get me started on dyes. You're just upset that other people will be able to have what you have and we don't want to have to talk to you losers to get them, or to sell ours to the likes of you. (Least of all spend 5 hours of our lives spamming WTS//WTB just to try.)

Yes this has been brought up before, and it keeps coming back. (Maybe because people really want it?)http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10195831
Yes, it should already have been implemented, but nobody's bothered speaking up and posting for or against.

Sign in the petition I linked to if you're for or against. Lets try to get these gears ACTUALLY in motion for a change.

And for all the nay-sayers; come up with a better arguement please, we've heard all your 'new ideas' before too.

In case you haven't noticed. I'm very much FOR this idea.

Anduin · Nov 20, 2007, 03:28 PM // 15:28

I am definitely all for this.

I am completely perplexed as to why this still hasn't been implemented. Trading is boring, frustrating, and wastes time that could be better spent playing. Plus, it is THE best way to keep a steady, determined value for these items. Sorry, I don't like trying to sell my stuff for the guildwarsguru.com prices and getting asked if I am serious, as there is no other way for me to find the value of the items. I am not a big trader who sits around for hours trying to find out what's worth what gleaned solely from people's WTS/WTB messages in the search/chat function.

Solveig Ikram · Nov 20, 2007, 03:47 PM // 15:47

/Signed for all the right reasons.
My number one reason why I think this would be great is to use the NPC as pricecheck guide, same as the rare material trader to get a buy/sell price for ectos and such.

Seeing as you're a warrior I hope you're kidding... many classes don't even use superior runes.
