<p>While keeping the vendor trash off the broker which is  a wonderful thing, atm on test  the new filter is also preventing the selling of fertilizer which is a bustling trade.   The wording in the fertilizer description called it looted fertilizer treasure which is most likely why it got tossed in the the looted treasures a merchant might want to buy.</p><p>Hope this can get fixed before it hits live<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>lol.</p><p>So funny, while attempting to appease and babysit those that just cant be bothered to make sure for themselves what they are buying is what they need, in the end it screws over well meaning players preventing them from getting things they might need to get. I absolutely love it and I wish it would be left to fester like they do everything else, but make book this will be fixed by Thursday, because THIS is the kind of stuff that really needs focus. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/2786c5c8e1a8be796fb2f726cca5a0fe.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>I've never even looked at the broker for these. I just collect them and turn them in as I get them. /shrug</p><p>MY SHINIES.</p>

<p>They are good for using with the Plant that came with KoS retail (maybe preorder too not sure) to make power roots that can be used to restore power, different combinations of the fertilizer produced different results, and feeding the wrong things produced a piece of rotten fruit.</p>

Just look through the last 15 patch notes at some of the things that were fixed, and refixed, go back a bit more and you'll even see thing that were fixed AGAIN lol, if someone wasn't "phoning it in" there is no way that a lot of these happen at all.</p>

<p>i support fertilizer items and status artifacts, but not on trash items, i am glad they finally got to do, it been months.</p><p>groundkeeper better for dov items, some are hard to get since some zones are ghost-town and no group to find, but if got group, then it harder to win the ones you really need to finish a set. there none on brokers for shinies.</p><p>but i am happy about no trash, it belong to vendor merchants, also reduce hundred of useless pages.</p>

<p>Please add corpse loots back to the broker.</p><p>I consider myself a serious raider, and so use a lot of power roots, etc. from EVERY tier to play to the fullest, the removal of fertilizers, waters, and bones which are needed for these items makes the plant that gives them unfesible to use and worthless. There is no way I can harvest the needed materials from every tier five nights a week without the broker.</p><p>This decision was rash and unjustifed, please reconsider.</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>Clearing performance-robbing vendor trash off the broker is a good thing. There are tens of thousands of items on the broker which people <em>should</em> simply be selling to vendors.</p>
