Where does it say that this only works with Premium tabs? I suspect it will work with normal tabs except you just have to price everything individually since you can't put a global b/o.

Here:

"

Once a tab is public, when you right click on an item to add information about the item. This information will be put in the hover for the item, and in the API for third-party websites to index.

"

In order to solve both of these problems we have introduced the concept of Public Stash Tabs. Any premium stash tab can now be set to public.

Also, for all of those who says that old system will still work - author of ExileTools (which is used by most indexers) already dropped support of forum crawler. GL using old system.

Quote from ExileTools author:

You can pretty much expect that the Shop Forums are going the way of the dodo. It would be ridiculous for us to continue to try to index them and I doubt GGG will want that.

Public Stash Tabs. Any premium stash tab can now be set to public. Public tabs are available in a special API that is usable by third-party indexing websites to efficiently index all the items in near real time.



First page. bottom of the post. there you go. and first post by GGG

Honestly, too little too late ....

Yeah we are all waiting for procurement or acquisition in-game only with worse-filter options.

i Jizzed in my pants.. and on the keyboard and on the screen..

i have a lot of stuff to clean

This is very good news and a good beginning I hope. However, determining an item's true worth will stay still being a chore.

All of this can be resolved by GGG making the 4 basic stash tabs everyone has into premium and keep the option of buying regular or premium stash tabs since even new player will hit the wall of not having enough space to store everythinng they want even if they have max number ot twinks to put stuff into. This is simple and will eliminate the pay to win element of this entire situation.

I think this is the most ungrateful and QQfull community I've ever seen, and I've seen many...

This game SHOULD BE PAY TO PLAY considering its quality, content and constant improvements and so much more. Still, it's free to play, definitely NOT P2W, and ppl complain?
I can only imagine what GGG staff members feel after putting so much effort in always listening to the community and trying (and many times succeeding) to satisfy everyone. This was one of the improvements most of you yourselves asked for!

Great Work GGG, best f2p (including p2w) game in the history of gaming!

I 100% agree with this post. I have proudly put money into this game for over 3 years and regret nothing. Not a dime of the money I've put in has helped me 'win faster or easier or better.' This trading addition is no different.

I will continue to put money into this game until they turn the servers off (and maybe after that too!).

This is the best game company in history. Relax folks.

Yep, you start with 4 free stash tabs, why not start with 2 or 3 tradetabs too and let every no lifer buy more when they please to?

Yeah, let's fuck those who bought 100+ regular tabs. That's hardly a solution. Most people here think only about themselves - those who only have 4 regular tabs think it's ok if 1 tab converts into premium and those who have countless premium tabs think it's ok for the feature to be premium only. But there are also people who have 50-100 or more regular tabs which they now use for trading and they'll be forced to throw away another $70+ for ability to trade, because it's likely that the trade forum is going away (no developer will want to support the mess that is the current trade system).

Again quote from ExileTools author (it's used by most of the indexers):

I would like to remind GGG, and everyone else that thinks this is fair, as to why GGG needs to reconsider the path they're choosing.

Please note that they state "To fund the development and maintenance costs of the project, we plan to let players purchase aesthetic perks for their characters such as:". Aesthetic being the key word here. The inter-account portion refers to skin transfers. They promised MTX that would not affect the gameplay. They are breaking their promise to the players with this update.
