New Stash Tab Affinities: a bit of a scam

I think the new affinity is a bit of a scam ...

I thought I understood, from what was said earlier, that it would be stash tabs that would be modified (like we had in poe1 with the 2 pages for the currency stash).

but to make affinities to put on stashes that we have ... especially since it doesn't work properly ... it's a bit of a scam I think :/

why not modify the delirium stash tab to add a “page” for breach items?

why not add a “tablet” tab to the maps stash tab?

why not make a 2nd “page” in the currency stash tab for socketables?

the idea of improvement is great ... the application is messed up!

Its probably so new players feel less pressured to buy all the tabs. Sure, GGG wants us to buy the tabs but also think they dont want new players feeling like its a must. Thats for the more experienced players to feel.

Adding affinities let's them use the basic starting tabs to sort items.

Why not both?

Just bear in mind that every aspect of stash is some form of backend DB storage you are buying.

All the other stuff like affinities and such have to hook into those dbs. Its not as simple as you may think.

There is a lot right now kinda bothers me with stash and most of it is affinities.

My perfect world would be to be able to make items part of an affinity I name myself but that will probably never happen. I have many quad stash tabs that this would work great with. Would love ro have affinities like helmets, gloves, boots etc

I might be wrong, but did they not say the additional affinity options were being added right away because it is something they can do quickly? Also, that expanding any pre-existing stash tab (currency/fragments etc) would come next, but it would take more time?

If I am remembering this correctly, I am glad they have added more affinity options to help players manage items while they are working on a more permanent solution.

Adding affinities to all tabs makes it easier to add affinity support to new tabs being made. It was hinted at when they were talking about it.

I give them the benefit of the doubt
