✪ Summary:

The Branch sales listings are a bit messy, aren't they? Depending on the item, sometimes it can make it a bit more tedious to get from items listed for Silver Beetles to items listed for Gold Beetles. A good number of items listed as "99999 SB" are listed by accounts that are listed as INACTIVE, which means that they can neither gather the funds from them, nor log in to remove them. In addition, many common items - such as carcasses - frequently clog up the listings with 99999 SB price listings.

Here's just a few examples.

Giant Tortioses


Lion Scrotums


Buffalo Scrotums


Yohimbe Barks


I probably don't need to post more examples. Now, while you might be able to just utilize this little diddy...



... sometimes you don't really know what things are currently selling for and that's what you're checking.

Regardless, this is less about "convenience" and more that there's no real reason for items that are either unpriced, or that are attached to inaccessible accounts to be listed, you know?

Also, sometimes folks forget to set prices, or dunno what they wanna set it to, and that's okay! The listings can be hidden until they do.


✪ What I Am Proposing:

[+] That Branch Listings by users whose accounts are currently listed as INACTIVE - either through being banned, requested to be "soft closed", or otherwise requiring re-activation codes - be HIDDEN or otherwise the items removed from listings and returned to the Hoard.

[+] In addition, Rabbity (#97323) raises a good point. With certain items available in game, it is possible for an item that sells normally for well over 100 GB to be bought for 99999 SB - roughly 84 GB - to be bought out for that kind of price if someone actually had that SB or was determined enough.

[+] Additionally, it would be more intuitive to make the default price set to zero SB and zero GB and not show up at all until a price is entered. This would completely eliminate inactive listings, and additionally would allow players to keep things on their branches until they're ready to price them, such as things chosen to be sold during certain months when prices are highest, and not be lost in "buried".

[+] Proposed by Terrinthia [G1] (#97101): Allow branch listings to be sorted with "Show SB Only" and "Show GB Only" options at the top of the page. Allow users to set prices for GB AND SB.

If you don't support, I'd like to know why. I appreciate constructive criticism over a simple "no".



This suggestion has 1401 supports and 9 NO supports.

You've got my support on this. Those spammy listings have got to go.

Thanks, Shiki. I appreciate it.

This is an on-going problem in just about every single item listing that gets common attention. It's officially almost two years since I posted this suggestion, and I'm really hoping we can get feedback soon, a fix, anything. Please, devs, this is such an annoying and unnecessary issue. I hope you guys will help share this, and thank you so much for all the feedback and support thus far.

To rabbity, you can’t actually buy a listing for 99999 sb, if you click on them it just says price not set.

Shadow (#156825): Rabbit's post on this was back in 2018. Things may have changed since then.

As of 8.15.2021:
- 99999 SB listings persist. May be user-set.
- 9999999 SB listings have replaced the standard 'Price Not Set' listings.
- Going to these user shops will show the button is changed to 'Price Not Set'.
- Branch listing spam persists, now with a combination of 99999 SB and 999999 SB listings both present.

It has now been over 3 years since I originally made this post. While I obviously cannot influence the Lioden development team to prioritize anything, I sincerely hope QoL features such as this will be addressed in the recode. However, with no recode ETA in sight, problems like this continue to impact the user experience, and I'm at the point I look forward to Bug Fixes and Feature Updates far more than bases, markings, eyes and decors.

999999 listings do take up an unnecessary chunk of front page branches

What blows my mind is that this post was made THREE YEARS ago and still nothing has been done to fix the issue or to even acknowledge it. Like... wow.

Sometimes you need a feather or a carcass for a quest that gives u 30SB maximum, but all the branch listings are over 9000SB for many. So, if a pricing system can't be added, perhaps players can moderate and report listings that mods or a separate new team can look through. This could also be useful in TC, even with the 30 day lifetime for trades, to get rid of those 1 SB - what can I get! or very overpriced trades, at the moderator's judgement.

btw this is also such an easy fix,

possible solution:

when you put something on a branch, have it give the option to put it at a specific price or else it will not be posted into branch.

I'm thinking maybe Lioden should have a set limit for EACH INDIVIDUAL item, auto generated depending on the current prices
