Suggestion - Item Groups

[Liirarwen]

I realize we just got a new item sorting method recently (I think it was recently xD), but I've had this idea for a while and wanted to put it out there.

I did a search before posting, but all I could find was about locking certain groups of items which is a little different than what I'm going to say. If this thread is unnecessary please lock C:

The item sorting method is nice, but it is also confusing. This particularly shows up when adding on items for trades -- there are about three "other" tabs, and none of the handy "All items", "Accessories", "Clothes", etc. dividing tabs like there are when dressing up a pet.

Then I've also come across the problem of not wanting to trade certain items. During events, I like to keep my items unlocked for easy swapping, but I don't like offers on my store items either.

This brings me to my idea: what if we could create our own tabs for items, similar to the way we create our own groups for pets? You could make groups like what we already have for shirts/jewelry/whatever, you could make groups for the items you're using to dress up your pets after your favorite TV show, you could make a group for a certain event that doesn't have its own tab (such as the Beach Event), and you could make a "tradeable items" group so people will at least have an idea of what you're trading instead of just "only some of my items are up for trade".

I have no idea how coding this idea would work with the current system; it'd obviously be a huge thing to take on but I'd love to hear people's thoughts, or ideas for how to cope with the problems I've mentioned without having to redesign the entire item sorting method. xP

Although I don't see this being an easy task or something that is easily scribbled down onto Nicks list of things to do, I still completely support this. Items are all sorts of confusing at the moment. ouo b

I would just wish that the tabs look the same as when dressing up a pet and then unfolds when we click on it while tradeing. At the moment adding items to trades gets often very confusing.

Agreed with both of your statements ouo

You could put that you don't want anyone to offer on your store items in your trade rules or lock all of your items and have people work something out for a swap. I hope this helps.

People can not know or see your items unless you have them unlocked for tradeing. You can not browse the items of a other user like you can browse pet groups.

How should they make then a offer when they don't have a clue that you have a item that they want? Setting up a thread with the thousands of items around, forget it.

The item system really needs a overhaul, like the pet system got in the past. (Back then we had no groups, no wishlist, etc.)

I agree. I recently decided to start organizing my nft items by putting them on spare pets and sorting them into groups based on release date, events, ect. But that's a lot of pets I need to keep everything organized. And tiny items get lost easily among pet designs and other items. Item groups would make it a lot easier.

Bump!

Thiiiiissss... the tabs are nowhere near the same and it's just frustrating. ^_^;

I support for reasons already stated. ^^
It would be nice to see a bit more organization in the item area of things.
