Gateway task sorting

(Regarding new patch for Module 2 - December 05, 2013)

Hi, now that the servers are live, I've noticed the Rare leadership tasks are no longer placed at the top of the list.

They are now ordered by level of task.

Please revert this change, as many of the Rare tasks are important, regardless of level.

Example: Leadership tasks for Escort Goods to the Market is level 11, Protect the Diamond Shipment level 13

If I'm level 20, I'll have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see if there are any lower level Rare tasks that I would like to choose, then scroll all the way back up if I didn't see any.

Prior to this patch, all of the Rare tasks were neatly assembled at the top of the list. So if there was an important rare task, it can be selected quickly. If not, then a common task can be selected as an alternative.


If you would like to improve the Gateway, then please consider allowing us to set up a Favourites list of tasks. We can add the selection of tasks that we're interested in, and would save enormous amount of headaches trying to sift through all the useless tasks.

Thanks

    I hate this change. Want to see if anyone can make embroidered shirts? You have to click/scroll through the entire armor profession to get to where that task would be (if you've memorized the level where it's available). Want to see what dyes you might be able to make right now? Well, you have to go looking for your level 7 alchemy tasks instead of just taking a quick peek in on everyone's list of rare tasks.

    This is going to be especially awful for anyone who uses mobile Gateway, which can have horrible load times as it is.

    No idea what the rationale was for doing this, unless it was to make professions harder to manage.

    I know that on gateway there's a search function. I THINK there might be one on live too, which will help.

    But, I completely agree, these tasks aren't created equally, and should definitely be separate.

    The search function doesn't help. We're interested in listing the Rare tasks at the top of the list. You can't search by rarity, only by task name.

    Having Show Rare/Show Common checkboxes in the interface would help. Sometimes having all those rares cluttering up the first page was a pain, pushing the common task you wanted to do onto the second page.

    It completely helps if you know the name of the task or the item you're trying to forge.

    But at least you guys are having your rares display. Gotta go update a error thread >_>'.

    Please make the rare tasks appear back on top, like it was before, and as it still is inside the game.

    I, too, find this a great annoyance; but I definitely think it is an error, and not an intentional change. The top of the task list still states "Rare Tasks" and gives a spawn timer. It's just that they somehow got buried in the common tasks with some unknown coding change.

    Has there been any official response anyone on this particular issue?

    I agree. At first I thought maybe this had changed in-game too. Perhaps this is not intended behaviour? In any case, the message at the top for how long until the rare tasks change is still there, it would make sense to keep the rare tasks listed there. I think it is also easier for new players - I know when I first started I didn't realise the importance of the rare tasks, but because of where they were I learnt to experiment with them until I understood that they were generally better and allowed 2-3 outcome 'qualities'.

    hmmm.

    I'l be honest, i was complaining when they WERE seperated, because sometimes you have to scroll down to the second page to even get to the start of your normal tasks, (although this was mostly fixed when it stopped showing tasks that you won't be able to do until next level) but this is even worse.

    please revert

    It's not the only bug.
    Also sorting in the auction house doesn't work anymore (cheapest > expensive) on the gateway and you can't filter on hunter items.

    Hopefully they will fix all this nonsense
