It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Phone posting so can't experiment myself but I'm using TheRats semi-strict filter but i want to edit the quality threshold for skill gems so that absolutely every superior gem gets displayed (i think its set to 15% or higher?). Is that customisation easy to do?

Neversink updated his filterbase, so if you're using one I linked you should probably re-download them. These should all be up to date:

http://www.filterblade.xyz/#Gej3Weh4kt23 - Semi Strict
http://www.filterblade.xyz/#r3nLPhSOGpPS - Very Strict
http://www.filterblade.xyz/#ah6VjkVER6AD - Infinitely strict

Has anyone prepared an item filter more geared toward SSF? i would love to have something strict enough to ignore most magic drops and low tier rares without losing out on some of the things that neversink culls in his stricter filters, like gems with small amounts of quality and low tier maps.

If you click the semi-strict one I linked just above, you can go into the customise tab and change it around how you want to. The user-interface is pretty solid and easy to understand.

E: And if you just want minimal effort, this one does pretty much exactly what you asked http://www.filterblade.xyz/#ioB8ymHo5oCq

This league I put a self-imposed challenge to not buy any maps for any reason whatsoever. I was already doing this before for the most part, but giving up after a while and buying red maps to finish my atlas in previous leagues. For reasons I've gone over before, I think it's really loving lovely that GGG expects players to buy maps for Atlas and to join each other's parties for Uber trials, and I really wanted to do the Atlas myself this time to make a point of it. This is more words than anyone cares about to explain why it took until this late into the league for me to finally get all the T16s and immediately slam Shaper fragments into the map device. For the entire PoE community which happens to think Bladefall is a terrible skill right now, well here you go:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK042QiPi9k

I do have to make a decision now that I finished Shaper. I'm at 155/157 right now soloing with my own drops (this build also farms HoGM pretty easily though I have to swap to Block Chance Reduction for gubben's characters). I'm currently missing the bonus for Chimera because that was my last guardian and I didn't want to Vaal into Ele Reflect or some poo poo, and Vinktar Square. I have actually found 3 of the 4 staves, and have them saved up in a tab. I'm not sure how feasible it is to try to find the last staff, though, and it's the only thing keeping me from getting 157/157. I guess this doesn't actually matter to anyone else because it's a self-imposed challenge, but would people actually consider it fair game if I bought the last staff or should I just run with 156/157 until then?

if they ever make some sort of automated system it should be for maps only, maybe even the meta currency of the current league (looking at you Legacy)

uhhhhh what

as a (former) sniper you would not loving believe how many people throw items into the wrong tab or click the wrong currency

youre looking at somewhere in the "2-3 mispriced items per SECOND" range

you name it, it's been listed for 1c or 40 alchs instead of 40c or 50c instead of 50 ex

now, keep in mind they've said they will NEVER allow instant trading, so it doesn't matter, but saying instant trading would be a benefit in the current system is ridiculous

so, mr. new player, what happens when you find a neat rare item and list it for 3c then get 100 whispers and realize "oh I didn't know how to price that one, I'll raise it to 30"

in the instant system guess what it's mine

rare items with hard to find affixes are difficult to price, even with a lot of experience trading.

You know you can play SSF if you're too dumb to figure out trading. Pro tip: you don't need a macro and you can use the official GGG website to look up the price of items. Or just list everything for an alch "no big deal".

Edit: it's taboo because they are never going to implement an auction house. IT'd be like if you went into the wow forums talking about how charging a sub for wow is dumb in this day and age and they should make it free to play. It will never happen so why waste the text. Unless you're just fishing.
