Small QoL Request - "Sell Expiring"

It would be great if you add a "Sell Expiring" button in the Stash. It's just a small thing, but it gets old clicking one by one through a bunch of expiring items - and you're one accidental tap away from having to start over.

From your mouth to Kabam’s ears…

Bro everything in stash is expiring, except the rewards which we claim. So it will sell everything.

How about an auto add arena boost button too. I have over 15,000 arena crystal i would like to get rid of but using them during arena grind slows you down so much , how about a button to auto use arena boost.

Brian Grant would be so happy

What if they add a way for high tier items to not expire at all. I have 3 t4 alphas expiring today 😔😩

And you can’t use them?

Does Kabam Zero still work for kabam? He was around last year somewhere right? Never heard of him again. He was my hope for Many great changes

This only works if the sell exired button applies to items that are expiring within 24 hours otherwise it will sell everything in the overstock since like @Alone13 stated, everything in overflow is expiring at different times and I don't want to sell something that expires in 13 days. How many complaint post will pop up if sell expiring button sold everything in overstock.

It's fairly obvious that OP meant an “Expiring SOON” type of thing.
Whether they would suggest expiring within 24 hours (probably best), or 48 hours.

Game already has a visual trigger (I think it is 24 hours ?), and so that could be the same that would be included for the “Sell Expiring Soon” button.

Correct, and I should have made that more clear. I'm talking about items expiring in less than 24 hours - once the tab has turned red.

It should just be able to auto convert it into the resources you would have gained if it expired. No need for a sell button added.

I wouldn't mind one of those either, but I suspect I am unlikely to get such a button because it would create too many support tickets. Imagine someone with a lot of expiring resources hitting that button and then going oh no, I didn't want to sell *that* and then opening a support ticket.

The reason why we can't sell high value items is in large part because of this. And it is useless to say "well, too bad, it is their fault" because Kabam doesn't care if someone sells things accidentally, they care if that someone gets mad, opens support tickets, forces their support people to deal with it, and goes on a social media and forum rampage because it wasn't addressed to their satisfaction. It is all of that which has to get weighed against the benefit of some people having a more convenient sell button.

So I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Could we get a sell 100 box on the item stash then. Like we have on iso stash

I can understand that logic. However, if that's what's holding things back, then I'd like to see an auto-sell option for when things actually expire. That would both negate the hassle of having to sell individual things while simultaneously avoid any accidental sales.

I suspect that is more complex than it sounds. Suppose you’re trying to use up some expiring resources, and while you’re trying to use them you discover they’ve been auto sold right out from under you. I can imagine a lot of players flipping out if that were to happen.

The obvious solution is to only sell things *when* they expire, not just before they expire. But that’s tricky, because it is unclear what that would do to the game client. As my crystal cleanse brothers will attest to, inventory expiration is something that is at least visually tracked in the game client itself. The game client isn’t, say, polling the game servers asking what the current state of the inventory is. It is actually tracking inventory. When you have megatons of stuff in inventory, the game client can actually slow to a crawl keeping track of it all. Mega crystal cleanse players were seeing their games become literally unplayable just because they had a lot of stuff in inventory about to expire.

Auto sell can’t happen in the game client or it wouldn’t work if you were not playing at that exact moment. But autosell in the game servers could create synchronization issues with the game client causing problems when it triggers. Imagine your game client freezing while fighting the Collector because in the background fifty ISO bricks were auto sold and caused a desync problem with the game client forcing a refresh.

I’m not saying this will definitely happen: I’m not directly familiar with the implementation. But having seen other inventory glitches in the past (I completely broke inventory on the CCP test server one day by accidentally buying a gazillion ISO bricks all at once), I can imagine that even if this wouldn’t happen, whomever was going to try to implement autosell would have to assume it would happen until they could prove otherwise, slowing things down out of a sense of caution.
