Selling armor sets as... well... a set

I'd love it if we were able to sell sets as one item on a guild trader. Something is lost when you list everything individually and you watch as a perfectly good set gets sold piece by piece. Not that I'm complaining about the sales. A purchase is a purchase. But I think there'd be a market for people that would prefer to purchase it all together and niche for people who collect and sell them.

    The traits would be something standing in the way of this.
    I like some of my pieces with Infused and some with Divines. I like the ability to mix and match to get the set pieces I need.
    With a whole set as one you're limited to whatever trait that set has all over, which becomes too confining.

    I've been wishing that we could package sets and such into a "coffer" to store as a single unit.

    Very true for crafted set. But for the dropped sets, it would be REALLY nice. I have recently had a full set of Darkstride that I was a little sad to list piece by piece.

    This would be kind of cool... It would allow you to open the coffer window via the guild trader and look at each individual piece inside for traits etc..

    I could see this as also killing the market however... People may try to clump a whole lot of trash traits into a coffer for more money and end up not selling because of the ones who want specific traits.. With everyone trying to maximize their profit it would end up that all the single pieces would seemingly vanish into these full set coffers..

    Hit or miss really, but a cool idea.

    What you are saying is like Disney saying "we cannot create a family discount, because then people would clump themselves into fake families before buying tickets and kill our individual ticket market".

    Hogwash.

    People will put up for sale what they want to sell. If you don't like the package they put up, you have their name - send them a message with an offer.

    lol what? I don't think that analogy works as well as you think it does...

    I said I liked the idea, but i also said it could be hit or miss because of the fact that people will put trash traits into these coffers just to get a mark up price of selling a full set instead of individual pieces..

    They could. But what would be the point if no one buys it? Serious merchants will only put things up that they think there is a market for. Otherwise, it'll just be returned to you in 30 days.

    You could do this in SWG back in the day. Everything about SWG was nothing short of amazing so therefor ESO should adopt it as well.

    Good idea . I need a set of cp25ish medium clever alchemist and can only find pieces scattered on one vendor . I wish someone just bought the whole set so I wouldn't be tormented looking at leftovers wondering if the crafter will make more .
