Potential Solution for the Auto-Collecting Shards Issue

[meesterg]

@Jerle

For shards to have “weight”, there must be a material decision of what is picked up or not. The current implementation already effectively causes all shards to be picked up. There is no weight or value to the 1000 fire resist shards which I, and every other player, have automatically picked up.

Conversely, In a game like POE where you need to consciously decide if a currency piece is picked up, everything do have weight and value. Wisdom scrolls, portal scrolls, transmute orbs, … all these have weight and value in POE because if I start filtering them as an endgame player; and there will be time I need these currencies, I actually need to trade valuable currencies (e.g. Exalts or Chaos) for these “low value” currencies. But if GGG had implemented the same kind of autoloot for currencies in POE, endgame players will be swimming in hundreds of thousands of wisdom scrolls and there is no real weight or value to them.

Hard disagree, i think with a colour change for example or other methods it could be fixed.
I love the fact that those small things doesnt have to be picked up like in POE.
I feel the value of those shards when i craft. The less clicks for those small things the better for my wrists and hands.

I hope EHG will never ever go POE route in regard of low value currencies.
