4 DEVS: SORT ITEMS

For the LOVE of the Gods and all that is holy... please give us SORT ITEMS.

Path of Inventory isn't fun... Path of Exile IS.

thank you. :)

Get ready for some crazy takes about how this will make the game worse or how it's not in poe1...

Oh there is always opposition, even if i stated the sky was blue. lol.

I fail to see how a simple "sort by item lvl, type",...ect. would negatively impact my gameplay.

Personally I feel like the inventory is small enough to where I never felt like I needed to sort anything.

But there should be an option for people that do, the rest can just not use it.

Believe there is people against any QoL in the game, because D2 didn't have it PoE 2 can't have either.

yeah i have a huuuge inventory (lots of tabs)...also some OCD, so having items nice and neat doesn't give me an anxiety attack every time I open one of the tabs lol.

i swear i heard jonathen i think saying they wanted to prevent sorting because they felt it made u value your items more or some other nonsense. the man is a complete idiot.

I just don't get how that part about valuing your items comes from the same people who made Regals drop less frequently than Exalts during campaign, and expect you to disassemble your Rares.

You know, inventory, portal, disassemble, rinse and repeat.

It's silly.

Man that would explain so much, I really hope that’s not the case though.

Item management is a massive problem in the game currently. I honestly think item management is the biggest hurdle to getting this RNG crafting system they want so much to work.

If he actually believes that keeping it the way it is makes you “value items more” I’ve lost significant hope for the games future. If you remember / could provide a reference to what interview he said it in I would appreciate it.

I want to hear it for myself but if that’s truly their stance it may be the straw that forces me to move on. I’ve held out hope they’ll make improvements, but that’s just so far off base it’s a sign of a much deeper flaw in understanding of the game and players.

It’s the complete opposite. When managing items is painful, all items have less value.

I don't even mind if it just packs items together according to a simplistic algorithm, in alphabetical order.

I'm not surprised, though. That is a man talking about adding friction to the game because it makes the game better. It's a man who holds on to item identification because it's more fun and exciting to identify garbage.

It's a man who thinks having must-have affixes on specific gear slots is good.

A man who thinks the current trade paragidm is good and builds community lol

It's clear that Johnathan's vision includes some very outdated and archaic practices. Refusing to implement sorting could be one of these things.
