What builds are you going for on standard? i have sooooo much stuff there, and never play on standard, i could hook you up with some stuff to help you get 100 if you want.

Any pre-3.0 ES gear has a price, and if you have instant leech and other legacy flask you can craft a gg build very easily.

A quick look at some of the ES gear just rotting up, its not harvest level gear or anything.. but just give me a poke if it could be of any use, i only play leagues, and mostly like to craft my own stuff, so its absolutely not mirror tier gear.

Standard is dead
Maybe 5% of the trades done on leagues

And 99% are just noobs trying to buy 1-5c items which isn't even worth the time to look through my 500 remove only tabs to find.

So why you even put you items for sale if u dont wanna sell those?
Don't you know how to make u tabs unpublic?

Reason to have public tabs is to find your own items through market. There is no better tool to wade through 1000 stash tabs.

Rumors of its death are greatly exaggerated.

how dead is standard league, as far as trading goes?

no more dead than a regular temp league after about 2-4 weeks.

(no Kappa)

I started playing Standard two weeks ago for the first time and was pleasantly surprised that the trade was far from dead as some people claim.

I was able to buy all the needed starter gear for my character and it never took me more than 3 whispers per piece - pretty much the same as in the regular league.

Prices seem a bit higher compared to the challenge leagues, but you should already have some currency from challenge leagues unless you started with the Standard right away.

due to time issues i only play STD.
i simply cannot afford to grind too many hours each league to get to the endgame eventually.
there are several issues with trading ect, but it isnt as bad as people make it sound tbh.

i try to minmax builds and characters, its fun too and thankfully next league will bring noice STD changes as well.

that GGG doesnt give a clusterfck about STD usually is really sad, just a little bit of love would be more than suited, but hey.

Iam a Std player and I think the reason that some people play only temporary leagues is that they don't have the competence to play in Standard. It is

I don't think I'll ever log back into Standard, I dread the idea of sorting out what must be an amazing mess of remove-only stash tabs by now.

Not at all. When I test stuff I have to /dnd because people bug me so much off trade tabs i need to disable....but i have like 140 tabs so until there is a macro to disable all.. fuck it.

Too many broken items in Standard for me. Either you have them or you don't. If you don't have them then what's the point of being in standard? And if you do? What's the point in looking for more items? It's a conundrum.
