GGG Should Officially Hire Neversink and Integrate His Loot Filter System

Grinding Gear Games should strongly consider hiring Neversink and integrating his loot-filter system directly into Path of Exile. For years, Neversink’s filters have been the community standard—refined, reliable, and essential for both casual and high-end players. His work has already shaped how millions experience loot in PoE.

Currently, players depend on external tools and add-ons to customize or update their filters. While this is manageable on PC, it creates real limitations for new players and especially for console users.

For console players, this change would be transformative.
Xbox and PlayStation users cannot modify or generate loot filters the way PC players can. They’re restricted to preset selections with little flexibility. Integrating Neversink’s system directly into the game would finally give console players full control—customizable tiers, visibility options, strictness levels, and real-time updates. This would dramatically improve the console experience, reduce clutter, and put both platforms on equal footing for the first time.

An official GGG-integrated loot-filter platform—built with Neversink’s guidance—would:

Modernize the user experience
No more external websites, imports, or manual updates—everything handled inside the game.

Equalize console and PC QoL
Console players gain real customization, not just preset filters.

Improve long-term stability and support
Having Neversink on the development team ensures the system evolves with the game’s updates and metas.

Honor the creator who shaped PoE’s loot culture
PoE’s filter ecosystem exists largely because of his dedication and creativity. Bringing him into GGG would be both practical and deserved.

This would be a huge win for the community and for Path of Exile as a whole—removing friction, increasing accessibility, and reinforcing GGG’s commitment to quality-of-life improvements.

Pretty sure Neversink was offered but he declined.

correct got offered and declined

He already has a job and is probably paid more than GGG ever could pay him. Also probably would have to move to New Zealand with how their hiring laws are.

Well what are the odds that he would actually work on an ingame filter if he were to take the job.

Remember when the creator of PoB got hired? That didn't turn out to be significant for the game either.
