poe.xyz.is & and poexplorer is what keeps the economy going. I hope GGG can give this guy what he wants.

I dont use them. Not important enough to do what they want. They should pay GGG because they use GGG material on their sites.

He's just mad for unable to lowball anymore :3

I'd love to see itemlevels for gear that are posted on forums.

I've made a reddit post and it got downvoted without any replies. Seems like the downvoters just exercise their votes.

The owner of poe.xyz.is wants the forums to display itemlevel?

I wonder why he'd want something like that.

I believe the appropriate response is: hell no.

And this is exactly what I am talking about. Hell no to your answer. There is more shady reasons ppl don't want the itemlevels displayed.

Also with the asynchronous trading system that GGG is working on there is even more need for it as you can't go on forum and do CTRL+C and CTRL+V.

Here's a bad scenario.
1. GGG makes the offline trade system (it will be web based)
2. I post an ilvl 10 Facebreakers (good roll, obviously bad sockets)
3. Someone asks for ilvl I tell them it's ivl 68
4. Get an offer for it
5. Sell it freeing up my stash

It will be an uneven trading landscape. There's code and info for this already available. So to those out there that think it is good to just throw out comments/cliches etc you slow the progress down.

I am also going to add that poe.xyz.is delivers the service free of charge to users. I white listed the site for Ad-Block.

I've yet to see a distracting ad on the site either. So I don't understand why anyone has reason to attack them.

And for those that think indexers' and etc should pay GGG. Chris Wilson even said himself in an interview they scrape the forums. Meaning he is fully aware of them. But GGG doesn't care if you make millions off their content.

Any update on this?
