3.1 update:If you see anything that looks wrong or outdated, please feel free to let me know.

Every second you spend clicking a wisdom scroll, transmutation orb, blacksmith whetstone etc has an opportunity cost. Additionally, a filter that shows too much will clog your screen and obstruct your view of monsters, which could put you in potentially dangerous situations.


I like you filter after using it for 2hs, but I had to remove portals, trans, and blacks among other low priced currency to make it cleaner.



Yes, the way the filter is intended to be used right now is as a template to be manually edited and adjusted to your needs. I don't show low currencies in my own personal version either.

In a different context, this would not look good :D

People who're interested in selling stuff will respond

No offense, but to me, this statement made no sense. If you put something in a public stash tab, and put a price tag on that item. By all definition you are interested in selling that stuff, if not, why would you list them in pub tab in the first place? to troll others?


after reading a few pages of this i need to reply...

i am fairly new to this game.. probably my first true active season and i also trade a lot... and to be honest, i am also one of those guys who made 99% of currency with flipping - having multiple monitors full with livesearches and following currency-development during season to learn how to make even more within the next season...
many don't like to play this game as an economy-simulator, i do like it ;-)
the game offers me that possibility, so i use it.

i also have multiple public 5c tabs where i store my stuff and i also sell it. in many cases under their value because i just don't care about a few chaos more or less...
if i wouldn't do this, i would just vendor pretty much everything because many things are not really worth even trying to trade for a small amount..
BUT: some of the things are pretty special with it's stats and there are people out there who just want to have some special weird stuff... so THIS way they have the possibility to find what they search. if everybody would just list every item after evaluating it's worth, many things wouldn't be in the shop...

also: i am interested in selling stuff and often there sometimes i spend 50% of the evening only with buying/selling and doing nothing else. during this time i respond to messages, sell.
but there is also a time between this i do some runs.. and THEN i really don't reply to every "wanna have x for 5c" because it really disturbs my fluid play and i really don't play to just please everyone else. in the first row this game has to make fun for me. if other's are bothered with the way trading works.. well: they just shouldn't trade.
it also doesn't bother me when i wanna buy something and he/she/it doesn't reply.. this is just a thing i am used to. also it happens very often that i get invited for a 10 or 100c trade and then the seller just leaves because he recognizes that his item is not 10 or 100c. it's actually 5 or 15ex. well, happens. i am not annoyed because it's understandable for me that he doesn't want to sell it when he recognizes that his price is way undercut.

and if i really recognize that one of my items is way to low priced (happens, since i don't even look at 99%) i will re-evaluate it's price and change it, but in this case i usually reply and say that i am sorry, i am not selling it anymore for this price because it was to low.
it's my private shop.. i don't have to make every trade and only because i am reachable, it doesnt mean i have to answer everything at everytime.

another example: i guess you have a cellphone. do you answer EVERY call ? i guess not. because sometimes there are situations you just don't want to answer or you can't answer. for me it's the same here. if i have time, i will answer. but if i am busy with other stuff, i won't.

tl:dr

everybody should play the way he/she feels most comfortable with.
you can't please everyone on this world and if one just don't likes the way the shop works, there is a simple solution: ssf.
or: just avoid trading as much as possible.
