This is awesome! Yet I do have some questions. How will the public tabs be labeled without saying shop stuff or listing a price? Will it have the letter 'P' of some sort to denote it's public once the check box is marked? If so I'd assume this would show up with viewing the tabs horizontally and when a user uses the drop down menu? Is this coming in the second wave of improvements?

If you're not on the league which the items are being listed at, is the online status still true? or Do you have to be on the same league at which the stash tab is located in order for the online status to be true? I would assume if the account has a logged on character then it would register as being logged in.

i think u should get rewarded a stash tab for acomplishing lvl 100 on a character ...

So finally GGG admits that this game is designed as P2W. Either you fork out your monies to buy premium stash tabs to use all the sale functions or you are screwed over.

Guess they never really cared about people who don't bought stash tabs at all, nor spend ton of monies buying supporter packs to be with the "cool kids".

If GGG would really want to sort out trading they would GIVE FOR FREE these special public tabs to all players to implement new changes and encourage the use of these features.

But by the first look it seems it will only be available to those who pay GGG

Pathetic

I think lets wait and see what happens before friday. I assume GGG will have a sale for upgrades of tabs soon and/or convert some for free,..

This announcement was meant to give some hype - I am just curious why no reply yet from GGG. I think a reply from them would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe they're trying to ascertain whether this is a "real" issue or if it's just another case of people whining and eventually getting over it.

Clue: It's a real issue this time. I know people want to back up GGG, and so do I in most cases, but this time there's a real concern.

If I need to upgrade a tab, that's fine. It's not that much and it's a small price to pay. But this game has been founded and run on the basis of being ethical and cosmetic for so long, it's hard to believe they'd end that now. To maintain credibility, yes, they should upgrade one tab for free.

Preferably the LAST tab we have, or let us choose one.

No reply means they are staring at the fire that they started and have no clue how to put it out yet.

This is preposterous!!!
You know I just read the idea the other day that PoE is actually not free to play because of all the premium stash tabs you need to buy. As a player who could be called a casual, playing in temporal leagues exclusively (also hardcore!), I must say I never had a clue about this. I never faced the problem of running out of space! (well I did but I could manage it by occasionally vendoring the junk).
Thats when I realized: the guy has a point, in standard league this must be an issue most certainly. And I was like Thank god I dont play standard, and I can play in a true free-to-play manner!
But not anymore!
I just lost a ton of faith in GGG...

In the almost 2 years aI've been in here I played softcore always, well, this time I tried Talisman cause why not, and I've never had problems with storage space, I'm not saying "hurr hurr i has no problems that means anyone will have problems" all I'm saying is a matter of organization, you just don't storage 10945345234 uniques that are mostly crap and complain about not having space, right? if thats the case, well, make 30 chars and use them as storage!

public stash tabs are pretty nice and exciting, even if it had nothing to do with trading.
as for the trade improvements, thank you very much.

This is good news indeed, but only until he decides that it's not worth to continue supporting it. As I said - he probably won't drop support for a while, because he's author of aquisition too, so it's less of a pain to support it for him. But when vast majority of items will be listed using new method he'll probably decide that it's not worth time to continue support it.

I love GGG, I love this game, I love my $1000 computer BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND $1 to support this game I care so much about. Why should I need to spend MY hard earned money on such an amazing game that I spend ALL my time on. That is JUST POINTLESS. I just upgrade my graphics card to a AMD FirePro W9100, HOW do they expect me to spend $10 on such an amazing game! This is absolutely ridiculous. Obviously I have already spent $500 on premium stash tabs BUT I should HAVE to buy those stash tabs. Plus what am I doing with my other $400 worth of non-premium stash tabs I bought because I was to cheap to buy the premium ones, when they were on sale, once a month. Clearly Chris just wants to take more vacation time and think we, the consumer of this free game, should have to pay for it. We clearly need to make pay cuts and fire some new employees. Who is this Jonathan guy anyways? He clearly makes to much money, just get rid of him. I have seen Hegemony use paint and it is free and he makes one hell of a painting with it. If he can do those works of art for free, I don't see why you need money for a video game! #blacklivesmatter #winning #thanksobama #merica #hastags

I have been mulling over this all day. I am excited about the changes, and I think these improvements are awesome, but they do need to come up with a strategy for two groups of people. Those who have not bought any tabs, and those who bought normal tabs. If they make the first 4 tabs you get premium and run a sale for upgrading tabs for limited time I would think that most of the community would respect and appreciate that (that is what I would have considered). Funny thing is that I have enough premium tabs, but agree that we need to look at the other two categories of players.
