[Website]Let us sync stash tabs into forum posts

The best part about PoE trading is the player-made shops in the forums which can get indexed for easy pickup.

The downside of course, is that creating and maintaining a forum thread is a hassle. So my suggestion is this:

1. Allow us to ctrl+click a stash tab in the character box pop-up. This would add a symbolic link into the current forum post much like how ctrl+clicking items works.

2. Forum stash tab would contain all items located in the player stash tab. The name of the stash would also be used.

3. Shops would display stash tabs similarly to how players currently post their stuff in spoiler tags, except you won't be able to remove/add items manually.

4. Stash tab name and contents in-game would be completely in sync with the forum thread. If you remove an item from your synced stash, it would be removed from the forum thread. If you change the name of your synced stash, it would change its name in the forum thread.

This would result in far more player shops, far more players participating in social-oriented trading, and far less trade spam.

I personally would prefer to see player shops entirely in game, with an asking/offer/counter-offer type of feature, but if GGG has no intention of ever doing that, I would say this would be the next best thing.

The simple fact is, that I have more important things to do than waste hours spamming trade chat or trying to maintain a forum post. And I know I am not the only person in that boat, and would be willing to bet we're not in the minority of players. I love this game, but trading is currently the largest obstacle for me to take it from being good, to being great.

While having it all in-game seems better, there would be undoubtedly less ways to customize your shop. With this suggestion, you could have a simple shop perfectly maintained with just a few clicks. And you'll have the option of customizing it however you want.

It also seems a whole lot easier for GGG to do it that way.

Here's an example:

My second stash tab in Anarchy league is called "Weapons", and contains a few weapons I want to sell.

I do the following:

1. Start a new thread or edit my shop thread.

2. Open up the character pop-up (click on the character below my username).

3. Click on "Stash".

4. Ctrl+Click the "Weapons" stash tab.

My post will receive this:

[linkStash location="Stash2" league="Anarchy"]

And once posted, it will look like this:

Bump!
