Crafting orders and alts

Hello

i have 5 alts i use for crafting orders and right now it is very clunky to get someone to send one of my alts an order.

i have to type out the name and server. then they have to type out the name and server both manually.

i have had a lot of clients fat finger and make mistakes especially with some of the longer names and ive had to make sure none of my crafting characters have any special characters in their names just to make it easier

this is double bad for cross faction orders as in these cases i cant even whisper the client so they can shift click the name

This is mostly an issue when im taking lots of orders at once.

for example i just took 3 orders from 1 clients
Weapon to my black smith
offhand to my inscription
Lariat to my JC

that’s 3 names that we both have to type in manually with 3 servers and so on.

i would be nice if we could have orders send at the account level. accessible to all characters on that account similar to how guild orders function. this would be a tremendous quality of life change

or simply a way to click a cha and see what alts they have and maby fill the names from there.


My second gripe with the system is a very silly one.

there is no way to see pending crafting orders from the login screen. this means that unless i am constantly logging through all my chas i dont know when i have gotten an order. which leads to delays in crafting them

can we please either have a icon similar to mail to show crafting orders are pending on the login screen. or can the message that you have received a new personal crafting order be updated to go to any alt you are logged into

Thats normal its the same with the AH, you cant see them on the login page either. Its the same with crafting orders.Its main purpose is for crafting things for other players. But people end up having to do their own alts crafting orders because crafting orders are server based and some servers just dont got enough people for crafting orders to be a good system

I dont think that is a silly idea. I think its brilliant and I would love it if I had that on the login screen to let me know. Obviously this would only apply to Personal orders, but could be nice if you in a guild to let you know there are guild orders too.

The mail icon is there as some players don’t log in to an Alt for months and if you have an AH payout and don’t claim it will get deleted after 30 days. The icon is to remind you to login and check and claim.

not true you can see pending ah mailfrom the login screen
