Forum Announcement uppon reply in a thread?

Are there any plans for the GGG forum to tell you when someone quoted you in a thread that you have posted in? Kind of reddit style.

I find it really hard to try and follow different threads that you posted in, especially ones that have multiple pages.

I wish that threads would be automatically created in the proper forum section. *sigh*

Put this in suggestions where it belongs.

He's not suggesting an improvement, just asking if there are any plans for it...

@OP, poeple have been asking for it since closed bety, but GGG doesn't seem tho consider it very high priority, so I doubt it.
"Fixing the endgame was hard - No matter how hard we buffed red maps, people would keep spamming Gorges.
So we turned Gorge into a red map"
pretty much that. I know that there have been many people asking for that exact thing but I've never seen a GGG response about it.


Maybe they'd need to rework the way the forum works so much that it makes it impractical

I didnt say that


also if people can just put your name in something that you didnt say, you'd be getting fake announcements etc.

Maybe there are many more problems like that, that can pop up as a barrier for that wish to be implemented.

But wouldn't that be a good thing - that way you at least get notified if someone "quotes" you. If you haven't said something, you could at least try and set it straight (not that I've ever had this problem or know of anyone who has...).

Also, found 2 threads from late 2012 regarding this:

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/58814
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/61943/highlight/

Since both were created by alpha members, I'm sure GGG has been made aware of it.

The poe forum is fairly unqiue in regards of being able to link items, so they can't just use someone else's forum template that already has a notification system, but would have to implement a notification system into their own forum software.

But since it's not directly related to the (in)game, I doubt it has a high (if any) priority.

psst, the ggg website guy is still in hibernation, you have to wait until december when it gets summer in new zealand ;)

just joking, really
