First Wave of Trade Improvements

Wow. This is probably one of the biggest updates ever!! GGG you have entered the realm of being seriously badass.

Buying a premium stash tabs is supporting the game..
I think this is ok.

But some players dont spend $ on the game thats why they dont want this trade improvement :)
Some players spend a lot but still dont want this trade improvement hahaha

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.

Exactly how i think it should have been done.
Using the premium tab name looks like a rushed workaround.
Allow Regular and Premium tabs to be set public.

Anyway, i m extremely happy to see they re doing something about the trade system.

(and all my tabs are premium by the way)

OOOOOOOOOO im so randy right now

Problem is u bought a lot standart tabs for invested money, cause u didnt need the features of premium. Now the concept of premium tabs changed and u have no way to get back point, that u spent on normal, to buy a fewer amount of premium tabs.
As result u still using third-party tools, and problem of giving ur credentials to them didnt solve.

You bought a lot of standard tabs? well i guess it isnt a problem then to invest 10 lousy bucks to upgrade the majority of them to premium for damn 1$50 each.....cmon

Uhm, no ! WTF I got like 100 standard tabs over the years bought when on sale, now I have to upgrade them for 1$50 each ? seriously ?

This is a joke right?, the only way you can justify implementing this strictly for premium is because GGG is money hungry. No reason not to add it to regular tabs.

Oh darn, and all this time I thought GGG worked for free, my bad........<sigh>

Awesome! Finally i will sell my shit, so many tabs full of shit... thanks GGG
Mr. Wilson I don't hate you anymore

Thank you, thank you and thank you again for the trade improvements. Woo hoo!

Good implementation GGG, love going ahead and starting the switch and probably help with server load on forums if people use it. Since trade forum wasn't meant to refresh as often as people use it. Is March 4th Christmas now xD

First you give me hope by making some much needed improvements to the trade system, only to have a back-handed slap in the face by saying that this only applies to Premium Tabs.

My hats off to you in both coming up with QoL improvements and yet still finding ways to improve the microtransactional aspects of the game. Well played sir, well played.

But let me ask, what's the difference in using 3rd party tools to pseudo-host an auction house, i.e. players can find items and decide based on stats or price which to buy, than to put your own auction house in game? I know in the past I've seen posts from GGG saying that you will never ever do an AH, but really, what's the difference? Wouldn't it make players lives easier if you could mark items in your stash for trade and b/o and they would show up in an in-game AH? When the player buys an item, it is then removed from the stash and currency is replaced. Seems like a fairly slick system and one that would require stash space instead of a offloading stash from a user. Heck I'd even buy Premium Stashes if those could be linked to an AH to use.

I'd certainly be interested in GGG's feedback as to the difference between an in-game AH and the pseudo one that exists with tools like poe.trade and currency.poe.trade.
