First Wave of Trade Improvements

you do realize when you buy support packs you get the points with it right. So you could still use the points for premium tabs and get all the support pack items for free. Never understood how people don't realize this. For example last support pack i got i paid $220 for and i got 2200 pts. So free tshirt, free signed art, 3 free weapon effects, 3 free town portals, 3 free pets, 3 free character portrait frames. Just an F.Y.I.

If i could afford the $440 pack i would.[/quote]



I didn't realize that....BUT that also means that those who bought the packs, should have plenty of Premium Tabs.......[/quote]

Yes sir. I agree totally tabs should not have to be purchased for a basic trade function. Although it does not affect me in any way right now, I would hate to see GGG makes this a norm from here on out where you need to purchase something to use a basic function of the game. I still don't see it as P2W, but it might be more Pay for convenience. Either way I would like to see them let it be any stash tab or give all at least 1 premium tab.

So what you are saying is that if I don't have any premium stash tabs, I can't sell stuff anymore?

No.

"I would like to mention that the use of the public stash tab system is entirely optional. We are not preventing the use of any of the old tools, and they will continue to work so long as the third-party websites continue to index the trade forums."

pay 2 win

Jesus, it's not way to win. You aren't going to not beat the game if you don't use this feature....All it is in an enhancement for those who WANT an alternative.....


Also, we don't know how much the company is making in $$$$ For all we know, they could have been losing money the last quarter and they do have to pay the developers if they want poe to survive long-term.........

Grim Dawn is pay to win(22.00 for the game) and nobody complains about that..........

That's not what P2W means. "Pay 2 Win" means you pay something in game that gives you an advantage over others who don't pay, in this case, in trades.

Though this case is more like "Pay 2 Convenience" 'cause the advantage isn't so drastic.

This is actually a pretty good thing so we wnt have to keep spamming on trade chat. But it would be better if tbere is like an auction house so even if u afk, players are stll allowed to buy from you just like how ARUA ROSE trading is like, if yall want to check it out. Search it on youtube

woot woot, way to go

That must have been expensive, all this Jonathan-time! :O

Seems like something you guy should have announced before the last stash tab sale.

Nice addition. Only thing they need now is a trade filter, some type of middle man trade moderator that has to approve each trade before they go through. this way all those 100 exalts being traded for 1 blue item would come to an end and all the no lifers spending their unemployment money on poe suddenly wouldnt have nearly as much luck with "rng" lmao

I've bought tons of tab and have never once felt the urge to name them or colorize them.
I feel a little salty.

I like the idea of it being easier to show up as "online" but is there a way to set it to busy or something when you just want to play/map and not do any trading?

Thats what the /DND command is for :) Though I understand what you mean in terms of listing yourself as "Unavailable for trade"
