In game/out of game item search via Bazaar window?

I understand that someone is currently working on building a dbase on WR items. Just thought that if the interface to such a feature already exists, couldn't it (bazaar window) be used to browse current items in game?
 
i'm talking about ALL DROPABLE and NON DROPPABLE in game items. an items database viewable through the bazaar window. NOT items vendors are selling.

take this scenario:

i create a monk and i want to see what path i should take in terms of equipment upgrades. how do i know what to upgrade or what to shoot for? sure, i could use the logic of "well if it's an upgrade then i should get it". that's not my point. my point/suggestion is that there is currently an interface available that will display items by stat values, equipment slots, classes etc. i pesonally would find it helpful in or out of game to be able to bring up a listing of monk usable shoulder items that have an ac value over 10 and hp value over 50.

hopefully that explains my idea a little more clearly.

Having quick access to everything about a game is nice - but sometimes it spoils the fun.

One of the things that I grew to dislike about Live is that everything you could ever want to know was already known. I want this equipment - ok, go to Zone X; kill mob Y; you will need Group Z.

The mystery and lack of info is one of the biggest appeals to me with WR. As much as I enjoy playing my chanter - the fact that not everything is known is great to me.

I could not have said it better. I also like the fact that people have to work for their gear.
 
i would also like to add that this feature would not include any items that have not yet dropped. only items that have dropped.

"could not have said it better. I also like the fact that people have to work for their gear."

people will still have to work for their gear with this idea. it changes nothing. it doesn't show what mob drops it. but yes i agree that once the word is out that mob_x drops nice_item_001 then it will probably be farmed. oh wait, we have bulletin boards and friends for that. see my point?

Help expand the database(s).

We're not putting it in.
 
Agreed, being mortal myself I am tempted by spoilers. However, a firm hand like melwin/Wiz is a necessary evil in 'protecting' WR.
