[Question & FeatureRequest] ProtectedItems.xml

[Ligurt]

Hello,

As far as I've read on this forum, this protection list is always out of date by default and it looks like it doesn't suit people's needs (including me).

Is there any option to invert the way this works ? I mean, it would be really better to setup a "SellItems.xml" list instead. It could be shipped with some standard things and then everyone could add its own items to it depending on needs.

Even better, would be a level filtering option in xml tags. So that we can sell items depending on toon's level :

<Item Name="Ice Cold Milk" Entry="1179" MinLevel="15" />

In a SellItems.xml, this would mean: sell this item if we are level 15 or more.

Still, the most important thing is to turn this ProtectedItems.xml to a SellItems.xml and stop having our characters sell valuable materials because we can't think about ALL items BEFORE we get them.

Edit: Like many ones, I've lost loads of gold because it sold MoP's food components that were in my bags ...

I wholeheartedly disagree!

First of all; I want to sell *everything* of a certain quality. I want to sell all grey items and likely all white items as well. EXCEPT the few that are actually useful.

My profile sets what to do with items of a specific quality. I can set the profile to keep or mail all greens, blues, purples and sell all greys and whites.

The way it is set up now I only have to find those few exceptional white quality items that I want to keep.
The way you would set it up, I would have to find ALL grey and white items. This is totally undoable.

*not* selling anything will cost you way more than those 2 or 3 items you would've like to keep will earn you.

those 2 or 3 items you would've like to keep will earn you.

No, it's not just two or three. Bot sold me for several thousands of value on one account ...

And it does not mean you can't do both. Set <SellWhite>True</SellWhite> and your ProtectedItems.xml protects you. Set it to false and your SellItems.xml (or maybe ForceSellItems.xml) will still sell what you don't want. So you can keep the option to true for greys and still manually choose for whites. Or just sell all whites.

For now, I have to turn SellWhite to false until I am really sure I will find all items I want to keep. It looks like I have no way to give the bot a sell list instead of "everything". This will cost me 10's of hours and will take several days before I come up with something that will work. Not talking about upgrades that will overwrite this work ... Any mistake on forgetting to manually update the file and I loose 10-20k gold again on each toon.

For me, default behavior means loose loads of gold ...
