QOL - Ability to see other toons inventory or equipment

krailov

Not sure if this one has been raised before, but as I was browsing the Alliance Strongholds, it occurred to me that this mechanism would also be great if applied to my alternate toons! Only the main equip and inventory screens needed. I do not suggest being able to swap inventory or items, just have a list or view (like when you inspect another player).

This would be a great QOL improvement and help, having to avoid logging in to a toon just to check if they have a particular bit of gear or quantity of X item, or what level it is at... - now which toon had the level 12 Brutal...

We had that. It was called "Gateway". It died due to heavy abuse.

Well, yes, but I am talking in-game with a "view only" mechanism. Gateway was abused for professions and other actions. There was also much good in Gateway, so they threw the baby out with the bathwater (IMHO)....

Yea some of talking perhaps still keeping BAGS or BANK inventory fully separate for obvious reasons. But with respect to at least Professional Assets &/or Resources it be nice if those items were listed by account not character. Still it would require some changes as they'd like need to stack PROFESSIONAL ASSETS; which currently don't stack.

But aside from perhaps maybe one day seeing common professional tools / resources that could be used by any character on an account I'd be honestly quite surprised if too much else would potentially change.

While I am all in for account wide shared upgrade tokens RP or AD (including a much higher cap). Shared professional assets would have a negative impact, at last for me.

For one, they would have to remove the limit for assets, bc I some long time players have up to 50 chars with various assets on each one. Furthermore I do run LS on my chars using purple or blue assets for the 12 h tasks and green ones for the shorter one. With shared assets I would have to pick the asset by hand on each char, wasting even more time grinding RPs.

Would be pretty much easy to sort that drop down menu when you select an asset, just make them stack, AT LEAST in that drop down menu. So instead of 10 entries of the same, lets say, grey asset, you will see only one with number "10" in the corner. I'd rather pay zen for more slots but have it all account wide, or total slot based on toons you have.
With assets its much more easier than with resources, that, definitely, should be account wide. Too much of them to track em all across all toons.
RP and AD should be like tradebars, leave per toon cap as is.
