I didn't hear about the "For Sale" Stash tab before, but I've seen or heard you mention the rest of it in various interviews. There's also some good hinting in the beta manifesto, isn't there?


Here it is: https://www.pathofexile.com/purchase/


What can I Spend Points on?
As a test of our microtransaction system, we’re initially offering two small purchases:

Extra Stash Tab (30 Points): Your quota of stash tabs is increased in all leagues. The number of stash tabs is not reset when we enter Open Beta.
Extra Character Slot (30 Points)


At Open Beta, we will have a range of different microtransactions for sale, including many of the following:

Public stash tabs (viewable to other players for trade purposes)
Cosmetic pets
Alternate skill effects
Special animations (for example, taunts or PvP victory animations)
Special paid leagues (with custom game rules)
Guild storage
Alternate item skins and visual effects
Special cosmetic item properties such as “extra gore”
Item dyes

Seems like I lurked to much :)
I think I remember you really "say" it, so I guess it was in some youtube interview.
In game and web client trading AND a sales stash tab? Alright I knew trading was in the works but did not know how awesome it would be. Big thumbs up.

And this is the downside of a relatively rabid player base -- we remember this stuff, almost verbatim. :)
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

O right, the first time I heard it. But I also remember reading it in that page blacksource posted and in an youtube interview
I have read that stuff before and forgot. Damn my memory is terrible. Too many blows to the head as a child...
They said I was mad! They said it couldn't be done! But now who's mad?!?!
hello there,
auction house doesn't kill the game it helps facilitate the trade. peaople are spamming trade all the time. so we need it. But there is one problem. when you add the ah in the game, ppl are spending more time using it and they don't play the game as much as they do in d2. with the ah everybody is spending hours in front of a screen filled with items. this game is all about finding items not trading them all the time. so prevent this, the best items in the game must be soulbounds so that ppl WHO collected exalteds can not have the game's best items without even bothering searching for them. so the key to the success is easy. ah + ''best items and maps are soulbound''system. d3 was killed bcs everybody reached everything on ah. so dear mr. chris, don't give us the opportunity to have everything on an auction house, give us the chance to use it on the way to getting ready for the toughest chalenges. so that we can deserve everything by playing the game.. good luck
With these public stash tabs will there be an option to have a buyout it now price that is linked to your tab ? For example say you have a pair of boots and people can bid what ever they want but you set a buyout price of 1 exalt / 5 gcp / 15 chaos etc. If a person decides to buy out your item the currency is then sent to your stash tab and the boots are sent to the buyer stash.

Allowing us to set buy it now prices in our threads would speed up the process of auctions as getting in contact with buyers / sellers is the most time consuming part of an auction.

Would be nice if you read the thread before making a post that misses the point of the thread entirely.
