I would like to propose the following changes to viewing character info:
Add the Avatar Outfit tab to the info window - I often see a cool-looking player, and I wonder, "What outfit is that they are wearing? I'd liek to buy it!" Only there is no way of finding out without asking them. Not a solution for AFKers etc.
Add the equipment info to Fused gears - For the same reason above, I see someone wearing a cool outfit, and I view them only to see it's "Braha Mail" or something that it clearly is not. I see no downside to this.
If your idea that the only way to make gold in the game is to run high-level raids hoping for rare drops, then yeah you're gonna have a bad time. Statistically, over time, you will make decent money, but you can go long stretches with nothing.
I make plenty of money to get by. If I sold the materials I have of value, I'd be making loads of money, but I am a hoarder. Here's a few more CONSISTENT ways of earning gold in the game.
Godly/Heavenly/Paradise mats farming - There are some relatively short/quick runs in Ben Chenner or Berbhe that drop 1-4 Heavenly or Godly mats per run. The one I farm regularly drops an average of between 2.5 and 3. On NA West, Ore is 80-100k atm, and the others (Cloth, Leather, and Paradise Enhancements) are 200-250k on average. You can do 10 runs or more in about 2 hours and make ~5m. If you sell the purple shards -- or get an orange once in a while -- you'll do even better.
Dismantling for Power Infision - I regularly check the MP for gears I can dismantle to make Element Stones or Intermediate E Stones. Those sell for ~2m and ~5m respectively on NA West. People put up cheap gears on the MP all the time.
Market crafting - I routinely buy cheap Iron Ores off the MP, use my Weaponsmith to turn them into Fine Iron Ore, and sell the Fines at a profit. I also sell Superior HP Potions, Fine Tannin, etc. when I can find cheap base materials to make them.
Yeah, these methods might be smaller payouts, but they are steady income.
Also most outfits that can be fused are not available for purchase, especially not directly. Most are event items. The cash shop item is an outfitter and it doesn't require fusion to wear with gear nor can it be fused. The outfitters you can buy are in the avatar shop or on the mp so if you find an outfitter you like go into the avatar shop and see if it is available. If not try searching for "airtight" on the mp. If it is on neither then you can always ask about it on forums and see when it was last sold and get an idea on what time of year it might come back.
I am not confused as to how fusion works, or how outfits work. My point is, that if I see a look I like, there is no way to know WHAT IT IS, by viewing equipment. I have to go into the outfitter shop and look at all of them and try to find a match based on appearance. And that assumes it is an outfit and not a piece of fused gear. For THOSE, I need to go to a site like HeroesDB and look at screenshots of all the gear until I find a match. And I am not sure if Event Items can even be found on either (I used to have a headcrab hat, doubt it's on the DB).
It would be SO much easier if the View Character window had an Outfit tab, and if fused gear had an additional line of entry listing what item was fused for appearance. Then I could be like "Oh, that's a Frostheart Hunter Hat," or "Ah, those are Fallen Angel Boots" without having to look through a ton of gears every single time.
