Refining should be vamped along with the patch. It's ridiculous we have to split up a big pile (Say, for example 2k Animal Hide) into small batches (of 150 each) and then refine them in machines that decay.
Like crafting, it's a repetitive process and involves way too much clicking. Make us be able to create large batches, and why we're charged for this to begin with is beyond me. |

How about something like the coin counter at the grocery store. If I have a bunch of coins and I don't want to count and roll them and take them to the bank to get my cash. I can go to the machine, dump all the coins in and they are counted and turned into cash for a small fee. I would be willing to pay a small fee ( I guess we call that decay) to dump my loot into machine and have it refined for me, especially for large quantities of stuff that I'm buying for skilling. Same goes for the crafting process. Kjetil, Refining ... fun... Ok to each his own! I understand your point about the game not supposed to be accomplished in minutes, but I would personally rather spend the time I have to play doing what I really like to do and still be be able to participate in other things like crafting as well. Why should I have to tie up my av's time standing there clicking away by the machine. Why couldn't I just load up my materials and start the job, go kill some mobs and come back for the results? Why do I have to stand there clicking away. I dont' get what value add there is to stand there clicking away, be it refining or crafting. Its mindless clicking. Its not like we're actually really "crafting" something. You load the materials in the window and mindlessly click. I'm with VF here, It seems to me that the wizbang engineers from the federation of whatever could have figured out how to make a batch job out of that process. I mean if I was actually doing something that would add some value or quality to the final result, then I can see having to be present. But no amount of effort in my attempts to be really skilled at clicking my left mouse button will alter the final results I'm getting atm. Therefore, I say give us batch jobs so we can do something that requires some skill like aiming the weapon at a mob but still gives me the ability to participate in the manufacturing sector of the PE economy.

This particular one is a HUGE pet peev of mine. I hate this stupid armor changing interface. ARGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I love my plates, but I freakin hate clicking and dragging all the peices and parts around in that stupid inventory window. I have nine (9) quickbar keys mapped if I remember correctly. What is so difficult about making it so I could put my "kit" together for whatever activity it is that I want to do, assign it to the QB, and be done with it. When I want to hunt Impact mobes, I have my QB button I click that puts on armor with my 5B plates. When I want to hunt electric, I have my 5D kit, And when I want to go hunt bots or run the risk of encountering other players in PvP I can click the pvp kit and it will suit me up with my 6A plates. Whatever configuration I want, I should be able to assign it to a QB button and be done with it. Maybe off on a tangent a little, but I should be able to repair the shit without having to remove and replace it too. here I go again, have to repair my shit, have to double click all my stuff, repair it, put it all back together again, put it all back on again... AAAARRRRRRGGHHHHH!!! Can you tell I don't like that part ? ![]() |

PLEASE fix the soc terminals. I have noticed time and time again that i end up missing letters. Usually those will be letters at the beginning of a word, and it sucks the big one.
Another thing that sucks donkey balls is the support team telling me to disband my soc after I asked them to change the soc hierarchy template. I am quite sure I opted for order. I asked them nicely. How fricking hard is it to issue an "UPDATE Societies SET SOC_HIERARCHY_ID=FIND_SOC_HIERARCHY_ID('Order') WHERE SOC_NAME = 'Clan Lootius Is The Shit'"? Them telling me it is just NOT possible is an insult to my intelligence, or announcing they are just trained monkeys with no real power whatsoever. Come on. It's not as if I'm asking them to totally alter everything. I CHOSE order to begin with, what could possibly be so hard to change it? Should they REALLY be unable to change that kinda stuff, could MA make it so that we are able to switch through hierarchy templates on the fly? I personally fail to see the problem in that. *offers support a banana* ![]() |

I am not very sure how it works, BUT:
When i was member in Vampires ( good old times :-) ), we had the hierarchy changed constantly: was adventure when i first joined, then that grunt/veteran thing, then military. Currently them are military if I remember ok. Also the next soc. We had a order/mining switch a time or two... So i quite think you CAN change it by the fly. |

If there is an option to quickly change the hierarchy, it's rather unclear. I tried a lot of things, but was unsuccesful. And if it was indeed a simple standard option, support probably would have told me how to do it.
Anyway. I have taken everything listed so far and slapped it all into one big list. I moved certain things up on the list, because they're most likely to be fixed real soon, according to the VU content list. I added suggestions from others as well, and will most likely just edit this post from now on. Please do note not all ideas are mine. A lot of this was thought of by others, I merely grouped it. I generally went by what the majority seem to think.
