in this channel will be a running log of the progress to getting back on track, as we get back to business and get everyone back to blasting and trading.

fast quarry
#

vouches will become available later on today

fast quarry
#

the role restriction in channels is temporary, once the new vouching system is up and running, it will be reopened to all

fast quarry
#

a common complaint that ive been receiving is channel bloat, and an issue that i personally thought could have always been better here. we'll be endeavoring to cull unused channels and merge with other channels where appropriate. channels not related to path of exile at all won't be recreated at first, or maybe ever.

fast quarry
#

had to turn off my dm's for now, i've received around 2000 in the last 18 hours. know that i did read them all and all feedback has been received. most of the messages were issues that will be resolved in the next 3-5 days.

fast quarry
#

i'll be doing a stage tomorrow hopefully at a time that is good for most timezones. stage supports up to 10k people. this will be your chance to get to know me and for me to talk a little bit about where tft is now and where it's going. hopefully this will alleviate any concerns hearing from me directly. hope to see you there. https://discord.com/events/645607528297922560/1489341024391266624

fast quarry
#

service channels other than 5 way have been reopened to everyone, 5 way still requires a trusted role

fast quarry
#

it should go without saying: be extra vigilant regarding trust issues as the vouch system gets fully put back in place as well as an expeditious and proper reporting system, both of which is extremely high priority to me.

fast quarry
#

going to lock #📦│builds-wts to awakened service providers or higher for now due to the high rate of potential scam associated with it. this is how tft used to work and it makes sense to restore it to the same way.

fast quarry
#

the vouch system is complete. i just want to be half awake when the floodgates open, so tomorrow we will begin two very important things:

  • allowing !v checks and mentions for rep, works same as it always has
  • restoring of roles and estimated vouches which will be accomplished via a private ticket system which i'll make live tomorrow
fast quarry
#

effective immediately, path of exile trade links in any wts channel will only be allowed to members with a trusted service provider role or higher. untrusted members may still post, but will have to trade the old way. this is to prevent landmines from untrusted members.

#

next step is role/vouch restoration, please be watching for updates on that

fast quarry
#

have any interest in being a tft moderator? there's lots of openings. fill out this short form, if you're a good fit, we'll have a chat.
update: thanks for all the interest, apps are closed for now.

fast quarry
#

i've caught on to all the people faking vouches, so there will be a ban wave coming for that. please do not fake farm vouches or vouch for someone if they didn't do anything

fast quarry
#

for those wondering "why aren't my vouches appearing", the answer is we're limiting vouch collection to people with a linked poe account to your discord. a high rate of fake vouches have been observed and so this was a necessary step to ensure no scamming happens. we are in the process of establishing a new way to link poe to discord going forward, which will resolve most of the issue.

fast quarry
#

baseline message cooldown has been adjusted to the following values:

  • trade wts = 15 minutes
  • trade wtb = 10 minutes

we'll be seeing what works/doesn't work for other categories, the intent is that everyone gets a chance to advertise their stuff and it doesn't seem spammy. the equilibrium is somewhere in there.

fast quarry
#

i know this update is going to upset some people but we don't have much of a choice. we're no longer going to attempt to restore those with the lowest role (trusted service provider). it would genuinely take an army of team members several weeks or even months to accomplish the task. the data was taken from us, and there's no chance of it coming back. we will, on a case by case basis restore the top tier ranks for people, those ranks which took people, in some cases many years to obtain. we do not want you to have to repeat that.

the good news is, that lowest role has a very low bar to attain, requiring a simple 20 vouches and most people, with a little effort, will achieve this in a very short period of time.

regarding the vouching system, we are working with ggg right now to obtain access to a developer application which will let me re-implement linking poe to discord, the primary mechanism for avoiding scams and fraud. hopefully i'll hear something about that soon.

the following updates are going to be applied to the vouching system in the near term:

  • anyone will be able to issue vouches again
  • receiving vouches will be limited to anyone with <@&1307963535074131968> or <@&1489412576411521278> or higher
  • people who do not have either of those roles will still have the vouch stored but it won't be applied to their total/league counts, yet
  • when linking is live again, linking your poe to discord will retroactively apply the vouches that were stored in the mean time

i do recognize that this sets up a barrier for untrusted accounts to have no ability to move up in the roles. given that poe 1 only has 25% of the players still playing and poe 2 only has 3% of the players still playing, im hoping the impact will be minimal. i thought long and hard about this and this feels like the best way.

thank you for your patience on this.

fast quarry
#

finally some good news: i was able to retrieve the old blacklist for the server. i'll obviously be auditing it to ensure that the offenses were actually blacklist worthy. but what this means is all of the unbans i did (60k worth), about 1/3rd of that will be rebanned upon joining for blacklist worthy reasons. i know many people expressed concern about the unbans resulting in tons of scammers into the server, so i hope this alleviates some of that concern.

fast quarry
#

the blacklist has been re-enabled, but not in an auto ban way. you'll be notified of a blacklisted user joining in #⚠️│blacklist and then we'll take moderator action at that time. this is to give us time to assess the justifications in the blacklist, while at least receiving the immediate benefit of knowing someone joined the server who was previously blacklisted. the public blacklist website will be updated with a new ui soon as well as appeals in the coming weeks.

fast quarry
#

for those who submitted moderator applications, we're still working through all of the candidates. thanks for all the interest everyone showed in your desire to help tft grow and become better. if you haven't heard anything yet, you still may.

fast quarry
#

templates are here. templates will be activated shortly for #🤝│5-way-hosting-wts #🤝│gold-rota-wts #📦│builds-wts #📦│builds-wtb . each of these channels has a pinned message that details the template. once activated, there will be a 5 day grace period where instead of the message being deleted, you'll just receive a dm letting you know that it would have been deleted. if you get this dm, please adjust your posting to match the template. the templates were largely crafted from the most common posting in each channel, with some exceptions.

more templates will be activated in channels when it makes sense as well as in their poe1 standard and poe2 league and standard counterparts. any channel that has a template will have a pinned message describing this template, please always check there first.

fast quarry
#

morning update: api access was granted to us by ggg last night, so linking your poe will be coming available later on today. it is highly recommended that all service providers link their account in order to accumulate vouches. more details will follow on the specific steps to get linked, please watch for updates.

fast quarry
#

small update on moderation and tickets: we're slowly recruiting a sufficiently large team, we haven't had to take the create ticket button down in about 48 hours so things are starting to stabilize. understand however that not everyone is on at all hours of the day so resolution takes time. our process is to review the proof sent in, if sufficient proof exists, that player will be blocked from sending messages in tft until the ticket is resolved. players so far are very willing to engage our system and seek resolution, so thank you for that. the more people that play nice, the better. if you find yourself blocked, please refer to #🙁│you-are-blocked for more info.

fast quarry
#

early access to verification is live: #✅│how-to-verify. i'll make a longer post tomorrow about it tomorrow. in the mean time, there is a lot of good info in the post in that channel.

fast quarry
#

verification has been live for 10 or so hours and several hundred of you have already verified and not one ticket of there being any issues, so that's great. you may have noticed that there are a couple linked roles now, and you may even have both so i want to explain what is going on with that.

the new role is <@&1491517107064541305>
long term this is the only role that will matter. this role means that you have successfully verified with our new system. this role also means you'll be able to provide services to other players in the services channels. after 90 days, without this role, you will not be able to post in service channels, unless a special exception has been made.

the old role is <@&1307963535074131968>
this role means that you verified with the system that was in place prior to april 1, 2026. we will be treating this role as equivalent to our new one for a period of approximately 90 days (subject to change). after that, this role will be ignored and eventually deleted.

please verify as soon as possible ( #✅│how-to-verify ) if you wish to keep providing services.

fast quarry
#

small update regarding support tickets: as you can imagine we get a ton of these each day. getting your ticket resolved requires you to be attentive to the ticket. we usually make first contact with your ticket within 15 minutes. during this time you must make contact with us as well. we're going to begin closing tickets that site idle for longer than an hour. a long list of open tickets because nobody is responding is burdensome to the team. the exception is for reports against another player where we have to wait for them to make contact. in those cases, if the ticket sites idle for 24 hours, the accused will be blocked from interacting with channels until they address the ticket. the ticket will also be closed.

please help us help you 🙂

fast quarry
#

onboarding has been re-enabled. if you wish to hide channels, you can do so there. all channels are available by default, but selecting path of exile 1 and/or path of exile 2 will show/hide those. you can also choose to explicitly hide standard, hardcore, and off topic channels. click on "Channels & Roles" at the top left to customize this.

fast quarry
#

ok for real this time the tft help appreciation system is ready. if someone helped you out, you can recognize their help by running !giverep @user reason. this can be done in any channel you'd like. a log of this interaction will appear in #✨│help-appreciation. helping is one of the cornerstones of the tft community, so please get involved and be sure to recognize people!

fast quarry
#

because of the new landmine protection from ggg (which i guess is not that new), we're lifting the restrictions on #🎯│bulk-8mod-maps-wts which prevented non-trusted players from posting their faustus trade link. landmines is still considered scamming and scamming is a bannable offense, so please keep this in mind. aggressively report perpetuators of landmines or any scams to #💀│service-reports.

fast quarry
#

hello friends, just have a few things to mention today.

first update: we're assessing whether more moderation help is needed. everyone who previously applied for a moderator position, your application hasn't been lost and nobody who applied i thought was a bad fit, just don't need 30 people. If you haven't heard from me, i'm still holding onto your application. thanks to everyone who showed interest in getting involved at tft.

second update: all channels for poe 1 league/standard and poe 2 league/standard have been restored. the one exception is custom-services and we're still actively working this one out. the last time it was enabled, it quickly turned into a mess. keep an eye out for its return. if there are any channels that are missing that you feel should be there, please open a ticket in #🛡️│general-support because i probably just forgot about it.

third update: many of the channels, approximately 40 of them so far has had templates and/or rules pinned. pinned messages in general are the best, most up-to-date way to understand what is happening in a given channel. if you're ever confused, open the pinned messages at the top right. this is an ongoing effort but 100% of the high traffic channels have templates and/or rules now.

fast quarry
#

early preview to #🔧│custom-services-wts is open. we unfortunately have no record of who used to be a custom services provider, so you'll need to apply again and let's talk. see the pinned message in the channel for requirements. if you were a custom services provider before, you likely already meet the requirements, as they were quite strict.

fast quarry
#

effective immediately #🤝│gold-rota-wts is now available only to <@&1489412576411521278> and up. within the next week or two, #🤝│5-way-hosting-wts and #🤝│gold-rota-wts will also require the <@&1491517107064541305> role. see #✅│how-to-verify for more details. there are far too many instances of multiple accounts posting for the same person. do not post for people other than yourself. it's extremely easy for us to detect this and you will lose your roles for it and/or be asked to leave the server.

fast quarry
#

we are implementing multi-account post tracking, so posting for friends or using discord alts will be caught instantly now. once this is rolled out, we'll open gold rota to anyone again and only require you to link your account.

fast quarry
#

#🤝│gold-rota-wts is now open again to everyone. auto detection for alt postings is enabled, please do not do this.

the feedback channel is open and accepting messages: #📋│feedback. please review the pinned message for guidelines.

we get asked from time to time: what is tft's stance on the trade and service marketplace as a whole within this server? i wanted to discuss this further.

the goal of tft is to have a very free and open marketplace for services and trade, similar to that of real world economies where competition generally results in lower prices and satisfied players. our preference would be to generally stay out of all transactions, so as long as the following two objectives are being met:

  1. players are not being scammed, exploited, or taken advantage of, and
  2. players are not eroding the fabric of the tft trade and service marketplace thereby reducing its usefulness and making people not want to engage with it

although we cannot stop all bad actors who seek to hinder meeting the above two goals, we can at least get them out of the marketplace when we're made aware of them.

many of the rules we create for channels are in service of the above two goals. the other reason for rules is just to give a uniform experience to players that only consume trade and services here. as you can imagine a free-for-all in every channel would just be chaotic, so tft aims to apply some guardrails to everything. more chaos = more tickets = more upset players = more mod time, everybody loses.

the tft team applies guardrails according to what we perceive as being best, but they can be modified over time. this is a poe community server ran by poe community members, and if the rules suck and everybody hates them then by all means let's get it changed.

fast quarry
#

couple small updates: 1) another wave of templates and channels rules/guidelines have been applied, and 2) slow mode has been disabled for all general channels since.

fast quarry
#

pretty big update:
it's becoming more obvious to me that a significant portion of the server cannot see most channels. discord defaults new categories to hidden and after april 1, 2026 all categories were deleted and recreated. i have a technique i can use to force show all channels for all players at the cost of making our onboarding screens permanently inoperable. it's going to take a couple weeks to carry this out for everyone, but afterwards all channels will be visible again.

this means also we'll need a new way to hide categories that you don't care about. to do this, we're going back to old school reaction roles which will happen in #✖️│hide-categories. you'll be able to toggle on and off things like standard, hardcore, off topic, general channels, or even poe 1 or 2. stay tuned for more updates on this.

in the mean time, if you cannot see all channels, simply click on "The Forbidden Trove" at the top left and toggle on "Show All Channels".

the tft bulk selling tool is live. this means that going forward, only the following postings will be allowed in bulk wts channels:

  • postings written by the tft bulk selling tool
  • postings you write yourself

to try the tool today, go to https://tftrove.com/bulk. you'll be asked to log into discord (to associate your account with your account here) and then path of exile (to actually retrieve the items).

this is new software, so we welcome all feedback in #📋│feedback-tft-tools. we build all tools for you, the path of exile player. your input matters.

i get asked occasionally about donations, monetary support, partnerships, and tft finances in general, so i'd like to cover these to give everyone a little insight.

donations and monetary support
non-existent, not required, not needed, and not requested. everything in tft is provided for free with no strings attached. you won't be able to locate any donation links nor will you encounter any ads on anything tft branded. my personal company donates any required tech infrastructure.

partnerships
all tft partnerships, whether it's with tool creators, content creators, or other segments, are all negotiated and made with mutual non-monetary interest in mind. it is tft's overall goal to be the server where 100% of path of exile players exist in. partnerships will never exist with a monetary component.

tft finances
doesn't exist. tft generates a grand total of $0/month in income. this server and community is ran by passionate path of exile players and volunteers who take time out of their day and utilize their talents to help make this place nice and useful. no tft team role, including my own, comes with any monetary compensation.

fast quarry
#

#👑│boss-carry-wtb is open for business (again). it works like the old channel did in tft. give the pinned message a read to learn more. should be pretty self-explanatory what it's for, even without it. enjoy and give #📋│feedback if something seems off. a template is supplied in the channel, however no specific template is enforced. the existing template may be tweaked slightly. as with all template changes, we will give notices via dm or in channel if your template differs from what it is supposed to be.

fast quarry
#

over the next 18 days, which is how long the routine takes to run, everyone is going to have all channels revealed to them. for most of you, this won't matter and nothing will change, but for the many 100's of thousands of people who still cannot see anything, the server will finally come "alive". this is due entirely to a discord limitation and a flaw in the channel/category visibility rules when recreated.

we're going to a 100% shown by default model and giving tailored options to hide the stuff that doesn't matter to you. please see #✖️│hide-categories to begin this customization. after clicking the button, you'll be able to toggle stuff on and off. our goal is to add more granular options over time, but we wanted to first give some options that covers the bulk of what's here now.

fast quarry
#

it's time to tighten up your postings in service channels. the max message height is pretty generous, however, when a lot of header markdown is used (e.g. # Uber Bosses) it can still get out of hand. to enforce a more uniform message height, header lines will now count triple towards the message height allowance (since they occupy about triple the space). please work towards condensing your service postings. this change is coming directly from a piece of feedback from #📋│feedback. your opinion matters here.

fast quarry
#

0.5 launches soon and it's a big update. poe1 mirage has lost ~90% of the players and poe2 vaal has lost ~98% of the players so we're in a slow period now with time to do some housekeeping. with big updates and new things to do, we're always thinking about how this server can best serve the player and augment/enhance the experience. leading up to the launch we welcome feedback on what you'd like to see here for poe2 0.5. place this in #📋│feedback.

#🏅│challenges-wts has been added since ggg added what appears to be 8 challenges to work through. whether or not other players can assist with these remains to be seen, but likely. we'll lock and wipe all poe2 channels once vaal ends and prep everything for aldur. poe2 channels will be moved to the top of the server list.

on a separate matter, because there's no way to really segment vouches between poe1 and poe2, we're going to track vouches according to the most recent league of either game. right now "unique player" in the context of vouches is a per league thing. so when 0.5 goes live, it will be a "new" league for tft. this will generally benefit everyone because now instead of a unique player being across a 4 month league, it will be across a ~2 month league, more opportunity for unique vouches. for the top service providers, we're still brainstorming how to do this correctly and deciding whether it should be current league, last two leagues, or just last x days. more information to come on this. the goal is still to award special roles to the top performers, it's just less obvious how to go about this considering there are two games now.

fast quarry
#

two additional periodic reminders:

to customize what channels you see, go to #✖️│hide-categories, click the button in @rough gorge's message, and toggle the visibility of stuff you aren't interested in.

to earn vouches you must link your poe account, to learn more about verification, go here #✅│how-to-verify. if you cannot access this channel, you are already verified, good job 👍

another community 🤝 requested change going into place shortly is a slight change to the rep ladder wording. highly trusted will now be considered exalted and above (previously awakened and above). this means the vouch count to be considered highly trusted will raised from 50 to 200. we want players to easily understand at a glance which players have virtually no risk of interacting with, service wise.

summary:

old:                       new:
0-19 = untrusted           0-19 = untrusted
20-49 = trusted            20-199 = trusted
50+ = highly trusted       200+ = highly trusted

we're releasing new aspirational roles and associated channels for selling/obtaining mirror copies of items. the goal of these roles and channels is to 1) recognize the superior crafting projects of players and community members of this server, and 2) enable a way for players to safely obtain mirrored items. all transactions in these channels are 100% community driven. tft team members do not participate in these channels.

there are two roles to obtain, one for league and one for standard:

  • <@&1502342998740963468>
    • this role is temporary and shown separately in the member list and is removed at the end of each league. if you possess a mirror-tier item and an additional mirror (if less than divine service provider), you qualify for the role
  • <@&1504310399451795529>
    • this role is permanent and not shown separately. qualifying for this role is a little different. please open a ticket to be considered for the standard role.

please check the pinned message in #💎│mirror-copies-wts for more details on obtaining the role and what is expected from both the vendor and the client during a copy transaction.

this is not a tft mirror shop. tft is only involved in the following ways:

  • making/moderating the channel
  • establishing guidelines and rules
  • screening vendors, particularly those with high roles who are allowed to ask for a mirror up front
  • role assigning to people who meet the requirements
  • banning clients who break the rules
