I just had an idea, so I am sorry if it is a bit malformed.

I know many people like to both Brag about their upgrades, or set goals listed in their bio's. Some people even list their available space in their bio to inform farmers on the current status of their backpack. I have seen requests on here about showing available BP slots of guild members to make it easier to stash gear.

My suggestion is as follows: Enable macros to display upgrade information and various character statistics in your bio.

For example

{currentBP}/{MaxBP} would display the users current bp/upgrade bp. (eg 13/60)
{MaxBP}/1000 would display the progress toward the users goal (eg 666/1000)

The same could be applied to other upgrades while you are creating these macros (Stam gain, xp gain, etc)

I think this feature should be pretty easy to introduce, and would take up bio-characters of the person using it so feel free to make the macro text as long as you want :)

As a concluding point, I would have HCS color/size/do something to make this text different then what you can do in FSH or in HCS as a sort of validity checker against people lying about their upgrades trying to cheat some guild with minimum requirements.

This is my idea... I figured I would share it with you for your criticism.

PS: lets keep this on topic and not talk about other things you would like to see FIRST, shall we?

Yeah, sure. Shouldn't take that long, and would be good, as you said, to see which guildmates have open BP spots.

Good idea, although I wouldn't use it.

I like this. Just to expand on it a bit how about increasing the bio characters we can purchase as this will certainly use up more?
