Suggestion for a loot/gold problem

Right now there is a big discussion about ground loot and ways to farm it, and looks like the consensus here is "ground loot bad, fix it". I'm not going to propose itemization changes though, but rather something simpler.

Because of affix pool is huge and there are several tiers per affix, most of the dropped loot is simply ignored, but that doesn't mean it can't be useful. In POE2 all items can be sold for gold, so why can't we have a separate merchant NPC we can trade gear for gold instead of orbs? I'm pretty sure backporting this feature from POE2 is not as hard as implementing it from scratch (maybe only "sell all gear" feature). This shouldn't break the economy a lot, too, because most of the gold is coming from farming anyway, but will help with Faustus fees, for example.

I don't think anyone wants to go around the map collecting items to sell to get gold. You have a limit on the amount of portals to use. Picking up items and running to hideout wouldn't be any fun.

Now if that made an extra tab, not taking up any inventory space to stash your items for gold idea that would be different.

Поддерживаю, что нужно сделать возможность сдавать вещи за золото. Если мне нравится крафтить, то гораздо проще было бы купить за хаосы какие нибудь шмотки и продать селлеру за голду, чем носиться по десятку карт в попытке набить золота не рекомбинатор.

I support the idea of being able to sell items for gold. If I enjoy crafting, it would be much easier to buy some gear with Chaos Orbs and sell it to an NPC for gold, rather than running ten maps just to farm enough gold for a Recombinator.

I agree, so to begin with it can be at least something simple, like you picked up 5-10 potential rares during map run, identified them all in town, and everything that is not for trade goes to a vendor for gold. We already do that, so I think it would be nice to sell them for like 10,000 gold per map instead of getting transmutes and alchs
