The proposition: A menu addition which allows the player to Buy, Sell, Move, and Drop things faster.
Buy: As the title suggests we would be able to 'buy' (from NPC) multiple, say, Copper Ores at once. They don't have to stack. They just ask you how many you want to buy at once. If you pick 20 (obviously this would depend on the limit of the item being bought at once) and you only have 18 spaces (could maybe say how many you could hold, ie, space remaining: 15), it would simply not give you, or charge you for the other 2, (kind of when the guild reaches capacity and refuses to buy more of that kind of fish from you and you keep the others you can't sell) but your inventory would immediately be full of Copper Ores.
Sell: A "Sell All" option. I think of it like this, you run up to an NPC with stuff you have been crafting or fishing or what have you. I'll use a stack fish for this. Moat Carp. Say you have 200 moat carp. That is 16.6 stacks of moat carp instead of clicking the menu and selecting how many to sell, 16 times, you could simply pull up the list and say 'sell all' when targeted on the moat carp and all the moat carps would dissapear from your inventory and your 2,000 gil would be deposited into your gil-tory.
Move: As the name suggests this would be for mass moving items from one inventory to another. For instance, you have tons of fire clusters or crystals. Talking 7-10 stacks. This is not unrealistic for hard core crafters. We'll go with 7. The crafter needs to buy more materials but doesn't have the space without moving all their crystals to another inventory. With this new menu option, they could select the crystal/cluster and it would ask how many do you wish to move? or as suggest below, move all? Crafter inputs 7 and all 7 stacks of clusters/crystals are moved to the destination inventory.
Drop: Similar scenario to sell. Say you go afk for a bit while waiting for something to happen and your group kills a ton of mobs in the area, filling you inventory with several stacks of something, lets go with Insect Wings. They're pretty useless to you for whatever reason and you wish to drop them. Instead of having the to drop multiple stacks and maybe accidentally dropping something important while you spam 'drop' on the insect wings, you simply choose 'drop all of these' and the items are immediately dropped.
Craft... In Bulk: Craft ALL! I'm told there is something like this in 14. You use your crystal and put in the ingredients and the craft system continues to repeat the last synth until you run out of the chosen ingredients or you tell it to stop? Or perhaps a text based command ? /Craft All "Fire Crystal" > "Copper Ore" "Copper Ore" "Copper Ore" "Copper Ore", this command would open the fire crystal and put 4 Copper Ores into the boxes until there was either insufficient copper ores or crystals. For Example only.
That is the end of my ideas for bulk movement of things. I can foresee some cons to these systems but this is the basic idea. This to me falls under 'quality of life' 'ease of play' adjustments. They're not life altering, but they make things a little bit faster (like our new 25% move speed and tele points. THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU FOR THOSE!!![]()
More PLEASE
)
Now the one i thought of afterwards.
Re-Buy: I accidentally sold something to an NPC earlier today. I was supposed to craft it into something else. Subsequently i had to go buy another one. It would have been lovely to simply click a menu button which said re-buy and be able to buy it back for the same amount I sold it for. Since this system is kind of sort of in place in the guild system already, this would be great.
If any of these things are possible, or even if they're not, please reply with a reason or some such.
