To make this story short here are three possible solutions to solve this problem.

1. Give people the option to upgrade their stash at a discounted price, so that the ratio fits to the price you would have to pay extra on discounted premium stash bundles instead of discounted normal stash bundles.

where is your "discount" towards the game?

All the 'p2w' comments are just too hilarious.

Thanks Jonathan, this is a fantastic improvement!

Ok, the two sides of this apparent pay to win argument...

Those moaning about it being pay to win, what are you paying to win ? Its just a convenience, not an outright advantage, all this allows is easier posting to the api for sites like poe.trade to access without having to maintain a forum thread. You can still maintain a forum thread and have exactly the same outcome as those that have it accessed via ingame premium tabs, or those that used acquisition or procurement. They all have the exact same outcome in the end, but like anything in life, you either pay up for the easier option, or put in some time to get it free.

Although personally I have around 50 premium tabs, and majority of those tabs are for stuff i have listed on poe trade, I used to do this via a manually maintained forum thread, I started using acquisition during this league, after checking the code myself from git, and it streamlined it a considerable amount, even as a tool for just finding gear for my chars instead of an outright trade tool. And its free also, so whats the problem there ?

I do think that splitting all the accounts initial free tabs to be half and half normal and premium though would be a good idea for multiple reasons.

It would open up this "trade system" to all players

Would allow those that havent upgraded any normal tabs and/or somehow manage to survive with just the initial free tabs to see that the premium tabs are useful as hell just having the colour coding on them, plus being able to rename too.

converting some of the free tabs to premium, even just one or two would put a stop to the crying about them only being available to those that contribute to the costs of maintaining the game ....

to sad they didnt made extra "shop tabs" for like 60 points :(

to be honest, it is really pleased that you finally move to improve the trade....

I, and maybe a lot of other players actually want a GW2 style auction house, which is much more efficiency and user-friendly.

one premium stash tab 40 points...50 points = $5US.

If you can not afford $5 then how in the hell are you able to pay for the internet and electricity to play the game? Perhaps GGG should subsidize that for you too? Unbelievable!

Thank you GGG love this!!! 3+ year of waiting FINALLY over!!

I just think that it would be better for everyone, including GGG if:
1. All tabs can be made public
2. Instead of using tab label for meta information introduce additional fields that can be accessed through API & can only hold information about price (and visible in UI via currency icon)

Why it's better for everyone:
1. People that bought tons of regular tabs are happy
2. It will greatly reduce server load (this will allow to remove forum crawlers + stash tab updating in 3rd party apps -> only need to query updates through new API)
3. F2P players are happy
4. No P2W concerns
5. People that use premium stash tab label for some actual information and not just price will be happy

Other than premium restriction I have no other concerns. This is similar to what I always wanted.

Omg!

Finally. I will now be able to sell things hell of more efficiently. GG GGG
