Posting this here as I think its a better place to discuss this.

Something like sort by level, display only class compatible gear and such when displaying lists.

Coming in 2.0...

I was thinking about this the other day.

example:- Set Conjurer, lvl 30-40 and it brings back results for all items listed from highest to lowest.

I think this would require a complete UI redesign, so unlikely to get it before 2.0.

The option to sort by item name would also be helpful for finding materials.

I would like to see them add sort by durability and level in the inventory settings also.

I think what is doable right now would be a simple paging and/or scrolling feature that would allow us to see everything that is available.

I like the toggle HQ feature.

And without knowing the direction they plan on taking the market system for 2.0 it's hard to near impossible to give useful feedback. If any community reps are able to get some details about the future of the market system, player input and perspective on this issue is absolutely essential, and we cannot give useful feedback without knowing the direction.

Right now we know they will be linking the markets, but not in what way. In 2.0 we might be able to have our own customizeable store fronts for all we know... but we wouldn't be able to help the developers understand what kind of functionality we want. I know the devs don't want to spoil the details, but in the end what is going to make 2.0 viable or not is how much players like it. And future players who will hopefully form the bulk of the player base will not be effected by helpful details that allow us to make useful criticisms or suggestions.

Well I think we can give feedback on UI, its pretty standard in all MMO's to buy from a page where you can search and filter the items you are looking for.

I would like to see in the left panel the ability to search by ward or search all as you say.

You could search all wards > mrd > 45-50 and it will bring back all items suitable for that class between 45-50, the player can then click sort by level and scroll down through the items.

We still have 6 months til 2.0 so if they could get half this functionality in before then it would be helpful.

I don't think SE realise how much the marketwards put new players off.
