Possible Improvement for ►Trading

Cutting straight to the point: Implement Trade Chat Filters. Example: I am interested in messages including Rise of the Phoenix, so I enable it in the filter and I only receive those messages on my screen.

Going even further we can set WTS | WTB | WTT as commands in the filter as well only looking for buyers or sellers. Since the item is linked in chat, we could use "Ring with at least 50 life, 45 resists" and every linked ring with those assets would be shown to you.

What would this do? Drastically reduce spam and overwhelmingness of current trade chat. Enable a deteremenistic way to trade for an item without it being an auction house. Probably increase number of trades happening through trade chat. Not needing a new "system" but improving the current one.

I believe this to be very in line with GGG's way of life.

Hello,

I love your idea and would love to see it in the near future but personnaly, I created a local website where I can filter everything in the chat.

To have a view of it, just follow this link : http://imgur.com/a/sAu4o

The first picture shows the basic page with all the trade message from /trade 1 of the day (only the ones when I activated /trade 1).

The second shows how the filter works and the third one just shows the sticky search bar.

There's some request sent every 5 seconds to get the new messages and updating the list.

Basically, I thought about putting the site online but there are a few things that are really bothering me : it's the fact that there's no API for that so I need to get every message from the log file on my computer (C:ProgramFiles/PathOfExile/logs/Client.txt) and read it line by line and eventually keep only the trade messages.
To be 100% effective all the time, I need to get my computer on 24h/24 and be logged on all the time which I can't do.

So it basically only works for my personnal use which is kinda bad because I would love to make a website like that for the community.

Maybe GGG could give us an API where we could retrieve the trade messages of one or multiple channels.

And maybe GGG will do it themself by adding more options to the chat, who knows...
