change 'mass bookmark copying' into a new Industry Job?

k so this is an initial suggestion at an alternative way of solving/improving the issue of copying large amounts of bookmarks.

FYI this is not a replacement of the shift click+drag to copy a bookmark but a better way to it when u need to move large amounts from characters on the same account or different accounts. Or to save and load up scout bookmarks for the applicable regions / areas you are in.

If anyone has tried to copy bookmarks you know the pain of doing more than 10 or 20. You find that only 5 can be copied over at one time.

Its click intensive and as its a drag and drop action along with holding shift so when one of those actions fails either due to a slightly faulty mouse/keyboard or for example using Bluetooth or other wireless tech it can pretty much wreck what can be a fairly large amount of work leading you to do it all again from the beginning!


What if all that hassle and arduous click intensive work was changed into a simple 'copy bookmarks' industrial job where in game tokens used to itemise bookmarks as a commodity are copied into cargo containers that are required to install the job.

The timeframe for copying depends on the amount to be copied and the number of times it needs to be copied. i have no idea what this should be. but it should be a 'quality of life' improvement both for the servers and for the people doing such things. This alone should make it worth it and depending on implementation it could well be better for the servers in general and less open to being abused to dump lag onto a node (for example).

would love anyone to point out some major chasms in my thinking here as there must be some, ive just not stepped into them yet!

Cheers! <3
