Can somebody tell me if there is official stance on why no auto sort exists

Why is there not auto sort button for inventory/stash? Was this asked/answered before?

it leads to decision making.
is ok ..

In your inventory tho...
But the stash , yes it should have the option to
Set tabs to item types and sort by level , or stat.
always be filling it in to maximize space.

It's F2P game model.

More time spent in the game = more opportunity to sell microtransactions.

Entire game is built to drag along/waste time. And keep player's playing.

If someone spends 10 hours in a bar instead of 1 hour. it's safe to assume that they will buy more drinks.

Same way with F2P model. If a player spends 1000/2000/3000 hours in the game instead of 100 hours. What will happen with microtransaction sales?.. Same thing.

You can try to by-pass some of this by "purchasing" specific stash tabs of course. Map tabs/ crafting tabs etc.

thanks makes sense thanks fam. Yeah I definitely purchased a bunch of tabs, and I dont think game needs artificial ways to keep you in, I think it leads to more annoyance and just people finding their way around it, for example after couple weeks I just pick up divinges/annuls/chaos and don't bother with most gear... So I don't spend time sorting out inventory anyway.

No need to invent some crazy conspiracy theories to explain this.

The reason is much simpler, namely the fact that the entirety of the inventory/stash system is copy + pasted from a 15+ year old game.

The real reason is that GGG is just slow. It took them 15 years to implement a basic trading system. Auto-sorting your inventory? See you next century.

I think so too. There's still some jank kept in this game the transferred verbatim from the PoE.

Inventory and stash. No auto-sort function, inventory is 1 giant tab with no space to allocate mats and quest items.
Anything map related. Minimap, overlay, checkpoint overlay; they're all jank.
Quests clogging the screen.
Item and crafting UI. Omg, this one deserves an entire topic on its own. From the jank item UI to the entirely missing crafting UI. I literally have to take a screenshot of an item before I slam it because there's no UI effect or anything to tell what happened. Genius.
The total lack of basic transmogrification in the game and the existence of "skin transfer" MTX which is not only ported directly from PoE but it has to be the most user unfriendly, most obnoxious, micro transaction ever created.

The game currently has a LOT of baggage from PoE but I think when top guys within the studio like Jonathan don't really care for stuff like this, it's super hard to have resources allocated to address them. I really hope this changes asap.
