Online status on trade is stuck in 'Fetching' mode

Wow, this change came too soon. At least give merchant tabs the chance to fix the issue before blocking league players out of the standard market. Give the merchant tabs a league or two to see how the trade system is affected first. Then from there decide if this kind of fix is necessary.

nice try GGG, but i'm not buying more merchant tabs.

No mirror services from casual players with that decision, only tft left for std. GJ ggg, i better sell my mirror items, cause i can't be in 2 league in 1 time.

they have zero consideration for the player base, forcing this change on the STD player base is disgusting, atleast give us an opt out button.


this company is becoming more soulless since Chris left.

As someone that's skipped playing league entirely since Settlers... (notice I'm the only replying player without a league challenge icon!) I can attest that the vast majority of anyone "online" for STD was... Someone with zero intention of relogging; I lost track of the number of players I'd messaged for a 200-400d piece of gear in STD and they just flat-out didn't respond; too busy running a level 70 alt through yellow maps.

So yeah, this exists. Maybe if the people in this thread weren't all clearly in the camp of "I don't wanna play STD, but cling to the idealized notion that I'll get free divines (that I'll never actually spend) without having to buy merchant tabs."

You either wanna play STD, or you don't.

But this is where merchant tabs come into play. Merchant tabs should fix this issue entirely. Giving it a league or two to see how it changes the market would be beneficial to a huge amount of players rather than just going scorched earth on it immediately.

unfortunately merchant tabs won't solve the issue of people that want others to mirror their items... I have pretty low fees on my stuff compared to the bigger shops but I can't play league if I want my stuff to be online now...
pre-mirroring and then selling for divines is not an option if anyone thinks that.

Please reconsider we need it back.

No, no it didn't. If given the option, a lot of players have shown that they will just... Assume they can take the "free" way out, and will continue to list items in perpetuity that they have zero intention of relogging to actually sell.

I've not been able to buy a single item in-person since the change here that dumped "online in another league" into the same search. (that change came with Async, BTW)

It's been the consistent pattern even before merchant tabs existed that league players would just... Never relog to actually sell things listed in STD. The vast majority of these cases are de facto "league-only" players that just set up this stuff during the (less than) one week interlude after a league ends and the next begins, which marks the only time they ever log into STD.

Like, be honest here... How many times have you relogged to sell an item in STD this league?
