Loot filter/tag reduction thread. Just sayin.

Just leaving this here for some visibility. GGG, please consider some fixes if none are being considered atm. It's been years now, and the IIQ reduction is hardly a fix. Groups still have this sort of saturation on the screen.

It's a huge contributor to my playing solo in maps. Or maybe 2 manning a map. Guild runs are painful sifting through loot whilst maintaining a reasonable clear speed.

imagine if you were able to filter 3 linked RGB items, everyone in the party would see it, and they would all fight for it. I guess the solution is to allocate these items, like rares.

Why would I care what others get, what allocates to you is visible only to you. I suppose this would work fine.

Yep, this is a big issue for me too. It doesn't even take a party for it to be a problem.

The main thing I would like to see is more aggressive pruning of low level base-item-types, and more aggressive pruning of blue and lower rarities. It could be achieved with a stronger bias for high level base-item-types and less total drops compensated by a higher baseline rarity roll. If it's currently 1 in 10 items that roll blue or rarer (at 0 IIR), then make that 1 in 5 items but reduce drops of that item class by 50%.

There would be a side effect of less vendor items for socket recipes, quality recipes, and chisel recipe, but I am more than willing to give those up in exchange. Most of those recipes are pretty low value anyway because they're so very common, making them slightly rarer might have a positive effect ipso facto.
