Guild Trader Motif Filter Suggestion

Finding specific motifs at guild traders is really boring and time consuming. Could a filter be added for Style? Perhaps another filter for known/unknown motifs? This would make searching traders so much easier. Thanks!

    I agree, keep it simple.

    Search bar isn't keeping it simple. You're adding in chance for errors.

    I like a simple filter:

    -known / unknown
    -motif name drop down (includes all slots using unknown filter)
    -armor / weapon drop down ( no selection pulls all)


    Remove color qualities and replace with the above

    I would like to see an Awesome Guild Store type UI for the guild traders. I don't really know how people use the store UI without it.

    To me it seems it would be much easier to just type in what you're looking for then to go through a series of drop downs. A search function would also help with everything, not just searching for motifs armor and weapons. It seems to work well for those with access to add-ons.

    How so?

    It's faster to select a drop down vs typing and a drop down removes accidental typos.

    There aren't many motifs to filter through.
    You're only filtering in the unknown motif and then selecting the broader motif. Not motif name and slot

    That's a different filter if you even want to go down that deep. But it's an option cause sometimes things pile up


    Curious why you say typing is better

    Yup, a search bar would defo help. Especially when you're looking for a set but not specific pieces of that set. Would be great to see all the gear available rather than having to search for each type. What's more annoying is having to reverse the list based on cost. If there's sooo many items in that list could easily miss a bargain right down the bottom.

    Easy: For PC, typing is way easier, while for console, a dropdown is easier.

    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "I could do much with a good dragon hide."
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "I see little need to muck about some ancient tomb. Too much work to do elsewhere. No, that was not an intentional pun."

    I guess for the majority it might be easier with the drop down, but myself, I would prefer a search function. I'm thorough enough that I'm sure I'd avoid typos and I also have a chatpad so typing isn't so cumbersome, but I suppose the majority of people probably don't. With that being said I would think it would be pretty easy for ZoS to add a search function since it's already been done by others through add-ons.

    For PC a search would be easier but I'm on PS4, so a dropdown would be better for us console players.
