yea a feature that says "You own it" over the buy button or a color system White text if you don't own it yellow if you own pieces (in the case of costume sets) and red if you own it. On the upside if you try to buy something you already own it won't let ya buy it un less its a consumable.

If market access is not available, I was wondering if it would be possible to have some sort of "player manifest" that we could access to see what all we have purchased/unlocked from the market. This would be especially useful when considering the bundles that have recently found their way to the market. For instance, the Nature Affinity bundle which included the Leaves Aura, Powerset, and Travel Path Aura. I was about to purchase the bundle since it was a great deal, but then I couldn't remember if I had the auras already or not.This lead me to having to get into game, go to character creator and search out the auras only to find I already had 1 aura which made the bundle no longer a good deal. Having a listing (tied to the forums, or NCSoft account site, etc.) of what all I've already got would have made this process much easier. |
That would be great too, so that while in the market you can avoid buying things twice. My thought were more something external to the game that provided a listing of what you have.
For instance, a Tuesday rolls around and some random costume part goes on sale, or an XP booster, etc. You are at work/school/whatever and cannot access the game and thus the market to see if you have said item. This system would allow you to pull up a manifest to see what you have on your account and if you need that particular item.
The best example I can give of an existing system as such would be the multiplayer aspect of ME3. Through the web you can connect to a "Player Manifest" that lists all the items/characters/boosts/etc. that you have unlocked on your account.
yes i too almost bought the set, then checked my toons and already had the aura,so i just bought only powerset
Fluffy Bunny 1 Person SG
Rabid Bunny 1 Person VG
Both on Pinnacle
Hobbit's Hole 1 Person SG
Spider's Web 1 Person VG
Both on Freedom
While it would be a great feature to have The devs have to go thru the company they bought the Store program from, and they may not be willing to add this without charging a ton of cash.
Our devs can't even do maintenance on the store program. They had to let the other company come in and do it.

Correct. They can add or remove individual listings from the market at will, but the devs cannot change the functionality of the market in any meaningful way.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
This is more than a good idea, it's a fundamentally necessary idea if they want people to spend money in the market.
I am repeatedly deterred from clicking "add to cart" on things because I just can't stand not being able to see if I already own them or not. It's a computer program, for crap's sake, it should be able to track stuff like this for human convenience.
