QoL Request for the Djinn Merchant

Dear GGG,

please consider adding the "Sell Items" function to the Djinn Merchant in hideout.

I spent the 10 euro (2 subs) to support my favorite PoE streamers, and now I am questioning myself why I did that. There is no difference between before and after I bought it, besides the cute animation.

What I mean by that:

BEFORE I bought it:
- I exit the map.
- I talk to Helena to Identify Items.
- I talk to Faustus to manage my store.
- I talk to Faustus again to sell the trash.
- I open the Stash.

AFTER I bought it:
- I exit the map.
- I talk to Djinn to Identify Items.
- I talk to Djinn to manage my store.
- I talk to Helena to sell the trash.
- I open the Stash.

There is no difference, just shuffled roles. I still need to have 2 NPCs directly next to my Stash: one to identify, and another to sell.

The thing is, Helena and Faustus are included in the game. The Djinn isn't, it's pay-to-have. So what did I get for spending those 10 euros? A cute animation with no advantage whatsoever. I know 10 bucks is nothing for the vast majority, but for us folks in the shittier parts of Europe it's not.

You have talked big about streamlining the endgame play, and you have done wonderfully on those promises, so please consider this. Nothing is more streamlined than talking to a single NPC that has Identify Items, Sell Items, Manage Shop and Currency Exchange all in one convenient place.

Thank you for your consideration, and for the great league.

Its not supposed to provide any advantage at all. No MTX in the game is. The entire point of it is to support a streamer.

I know the entire point of it is to support the streamers, that's why I did it.

My entire point, however, is for streamlining the endgame. It's so much faster and easier to have all the essential 4 functions on one NPC, instead of having to use multiples. And Djin, already having 3 of the 4, is the easiest to do that. It's just like, copy the Sell Items function from Faustus and slap it on Djin. Poof! Streamlined.

Again that goes against GGG's stance of an MTX never giving an advantage, no matter how small.

As a general feature request its not a bad thing but saying they should add it to something that is paywalled is not gonna fly.

What advantage? It's just convenience, quality of life. It doesn't give any advantage over other players.

This is the exact same thing as buying the Bestiary Entranceway Hideout Decoration as a shortcut to the Menagerie. It's paywalled in the exact same way as the Djin. Some people have it, most don't. Does that give any advantage? No, it's just convenience.

Besides, I am not suggesting to remove the Sell Items function from other NPCs and lock it behind the Djin. I said just add it in there as well.

The advantage is you get to go faster in between maps. You are literally asking for the the thing you paid $10 to reduce your clicks vs people who dont pay $10.

Its not a lot of time in the grand scheme of things but its a very slippery slope just like the bestiary thing. The feature should just be available to all players if they decide to add a one stop shop vendor. The only thing the MTX should do is look shiny and have a cool animation.

I don't really see this feature to be as mighty to be unfair to have because the time it needs to change from NPC to NPC that are right next to each other is like 1 second.

In general I'd appreciate to have a sell function on Djinn, too. For the style, though, as I don't like to be surrounded by many NPCs right next to my stash. For me Djinn is all about style. Just like MTX are suppost to be.

How is it reducing my clicks? I still have to click on it 4 different times for the 4 different functions. Same number of clicks if I have a second NPC right next to it. I even listed the number of clicks in my first post. You're grasping at straws, my friend.

Exactly. It's just a convenience.

"So what did I get for spending those 10 euros? A cute animation with no advantage whatsoever."

You want an advantage. Its in your post. And I would have to click two vendors, you just click one.

And I am not grasping at straws. This is a very slippery slope to go down. How about a $10 pet that follows you and picks up currency? Its just QoL and streamlining the game so who cares!

This is how this stuff always happens. Gaming companies slowly poke and prod to see what they can get away with which is why I am fully against any kind of MTX that gives even the smallest amount of QoL. Stash tabs have actually always violated this idea for me but I will give GGG credit and they have never gone beyond in terms of monetizing game advantages.

Oh, yes, I want the advantage of clicking one NPC for a grand total of 5 clicks instead of clicking 2 NPCs next to each other for a grand total of 5 clicks.

World breaking, isn't it?
