Remove-only stash tab change problems part 2

 Continuing on the same topic from my original thread:Auto making a remove-only stash tab a regular tab needs to be stopped I am starting the process to consolidate my RO tabs to reduce the quantity I have.

Here is an example:




 The left side tabs are my Standard League normal tabs and the right side are my Ambush remove only tabs. Don't forget I have 2 more remove-only orb tabs from Anarchy League last summer to deal with. Let's see now, if I try to move all the RO tab contents over to the normal tabs they certainly won't fit. I can buy new premium tabs to expand my storage space...but wait: I can't do that now as I have no clue as to which of my 67 remove-only tabs are going to get converted to normal use tabs. I have 67...oops...77...double check time...oops, I miscounted. I currently have 77 RO tabs from 3 four month leagues. Without a way to buy additional storage space I'm totally fucked at the moment. Sorry, don't even suggest that I buy 77 premium tabs to eliminate all the RO tabs. Besides costing let's see...hmm... on sale 6 pack of premium tabs is 165 points. 77 / 6 = 12 * 165 = 1980 points (+5) = YIKES!!! Well that's totally impossible for me. If I was crazy stupid enough to do that (which I can't afford to do even if a was crazy) then I'd have 77 +30 = 107 total tabs. Come this November and the end of the next four month league 107 tabs would be dumped into Standard again. DOUBLE YIKES!!! GGG better go back to the way it was, I can buy a 6 pack of premium tabs on the next sale, and use those additional 6 empty tabs to consolidate down from the 77 RO tabs to less than 2 dozen.

Holy crap I have a lot of stuff! Here's the tab list:


 I have a lot of work ahead of me to consolidate all these RO tabs down. Since I currently can't buy additional new tabs as I won't actually get new tabs to help me during the major down sizing process I'm royally screwed.

 Thank you...NOT... GGG for making this one change that is really making it a pain in the ass to want to do anything in Standard League except throw up my hands in total disgust over the whole matter. Why, oh why did you feel the need to F'up the stash system this way?

If you don't actually think you will *ever* use all of that, why not just start deleting.

Are you planning on staying in standard?

Edit: Why do you have scroll fragments?

 Uniques is a perfect example to further illustrate the problem. I have 1 Standard League normal unique tab + 4 remove-only unique tabs, 1 each from the first 2 four month leagues and 2 from Ambush League (as I get more PoE proficient I'm playing more hours and acquiring more uniques (low level but hey, there are recipes that require a unique item so I don't want to just vendor waste them). Not all of those RO tabs are full so if I could buy additional storage space I could use 2 of them to get rid of the 4 unique RO tabs. That goes for all the other chest, weapon, shield, gloves, helms, boots, belts, etc. I need real and empty storage space now to help ease my consolidation process. Not 6 random RO tabs converted to 6 normal tabs that would not be empty. Way to go GGG! :(

 I vendor all the rare items that are trash, eventually scroll fragments become scrolls, scrolls become portals, etc. etc., etc. I know I need to vendor a lot of this to get useful alts, augs, chances, scourings, fusings, etc. so a lot of the RO orbs are going bye bye but some things such as maps are worth keeping. I'm just now starting to do maps (no one can ever mistake me for an elite player but I'm ok with that) so right now all maps are important to me. I will eventually need to vendor some to get higher level maps and that will downsize their quantity. I'll be doing a lot of analyzing on tons of gear and vendoring (throwing out) many items that I thought were worth saving last year but are not good anymore. But not being able to buy 6 new premium tabs and get 6 additional empty ready to fill tabs is a major problem for me. I'm sure I am not alone here and anyone who has played several four month leagues is facing this problem.

Hargan will cure what ails you.

What you hinted at is the truth: The standard league evaluation of "trash" is much different than the 4mo league evaluation of "trash". Most of those rares are now vendor-worthy, since they're never going to be sold and you can get much better for cheap in trade.

I have a nice poison arrow + rain of arrows + fire traps evasion level 70 ranger with 435 hours of time sunk into it from Ambush League. I always hit the proverbial grind wall at 70 so it would be nice to continue to work that build up to the level 80 softcap.

If you want to be a hoarder, best of luck. Might as well make mule accounts then. I mean, what do you need 500 portal scrolls for? You just have so much excess stuff that you will never need, just so you can make 1 extra alt here and there?

EDIT: 1k+ whetstones, etc. Keep what you need and will use in the near future. Ditch the rest.

 The whole focus of these posts is not to show how much loot and crap I've collected over 3 four month leagues but to illustrate to GGG and all that all of my RO tabs should stay as RO and any new tabs bought should be added as additional empty storage space to ease the consolidation process. GGGs change has thrown a huge monkey wrench into that process and is severely hampering this task. I'm sure GGG doesn't want us to stop buying stash tabs. That has to be one of their best ways of generating revenue. But I need empty tabs to fill as I need to. Not some RNG picking of 6 of my existing RO tabs to covert to normal tabs. That's garbage to me and is stopping me from buying any until GGG changes this.

 Yes, I know I have to downsize big time. That's a given. But I need additional storage space when I buy stash tabs, not 6 remove-only tabs converted. I NEED ADDITIONAL EMPTY TABS when I buy more stash space!

Only, that's a horrible solution. For a lot of reasons. I know you are capable of figuring out all of them because you're obviously a clever guy.
