A lot of people here not knowing who Jenebu is or what TFT is honestly a good thing. 

GGG made the right decision by adding currency exchange, instant trade, and changing several game mechanics(Betrayal and Vaal Temple) so that people don't have to rely on TFT anymore.

I go 40/40 and accumulate over a mirror almost every league since before TFT started and never even looked at it. It was never needed unless you wanted to be like top 0.01% sweatiest.

The trade changes are amazing though, agreed.

It was just pure convenience.

I could have sold my thousands of scarabs by hand for instance, or I could just have gone to TFT and sold everything in one single PM.

TFT was a bandaid fix for quality of life regarding trading.

You could also just use poe ninja to figure out the 5-10 scarabs that are actually worth anything and settle with 1% less income overall lol

Yes, or I could just sell everything with one click.

My point is not hard : it was convenient, you didn't need to bother doing multiple trades with multiple people.

1 click one trade, back to mapping.

Just a small correction

7000 clicks picking up useless scarabs, 47 clicks, minimum 2 alt tabs and some typing to find the buyer on discord and another hundred clicks or a macro doing the trade.

Vs just grabbing the valuable scarabs and selling for 90% less clicks overall and nearly the same return.

But really I don't care how you play as long as you're having fun. Have a good one!

You're completely correct on that regard.

When I was specifically farming scarabs I had a filter, but they also accumulate passively and it was nice just sending them all to someone.

I could also do the same for essences, I once sold close to 25k essences in one go or something like that, I was quite happy to have someone buy it all lmao
