    I'd like to suggest an idea where the box on the skill bar where essences are placed, have an option to scroll side to side and select different types of essences. This would allow you to quickly change essence without opening your bag. There are plenty of essences available, it's a pain searching through all tabs of your bag to find the right one (i know, tidy people have them all in one tab, but sometimes they find their way elsewhere), i'd like to be able, with a few clicks and moving nothing, to select what essence i need, or even select a 'no essence' option.
    I don't know if others have posted ideas exactly like this, but probably something similar might already be here.
    Just my thoughts :)

    I sometime use blue ess for crowded mobs, but no ess when it is not really crowded anymore, so it is tedious to opening up my inventory again and again. It is the same when suddenly the mobs get crowded and i need to put my ess back again, and it is even more tedious.

    By changing essence without opening the inventory, it will also be much easier to stockpile the essences dropped from mobs. I find it wasting time to put all the ess drops into 1 slot one by one, yet it is very important to free up my inventory.

    Please make it happen :D

    I feel the same: in a rush, esp in the middle of a fight is nothing worse and more annoying than to have to open up your bag to select new essences :mad:
    the idea of having a little scroll bar (left / right or up / down arrows) would make it much, much easier ;)

    If you know organizing your inventory is better, and if you know planning ahead is better, why not train yourself to be organized and plan ahead?

    The idea is that you can change essence with a minimum of clicking via a side arrow on the essence box without having to open your bag.
    In the midst of battle do you want to be opening your bag, no matter how organized you are, and looking for more essence?
    Which is simpler?

    I have learned to be very quick in the tabs not just for ess but to swap gear on the fly also. I really like your idea though because every time you tab into your inventory it requires you to take the focus off your target and stop running/moving. A way to quickly move ess in and out would be a great first step.

    Opening inventory, loading a full stack or a mount, and closing the inventory takes me less than 2 seconds. Then I have no distractions in battle, except the ones I make.
    Adding an essence box that sorts your stuff is a big deal and lot of work. It can go wrong so many ways. Do you really want more problems, or can you just change yourself?

    That's a choice you make every time you log in.

    It's not new, that people want someone else to do the work for them.

    wow, new essence selection box in coming updates, wonder where that idea come from :p
    i just hope that some people do their utmost not to use it given how un-necessary they think it is ;)
