Request fulfilled Suggestion: Region "All"

Description

After noticing that having my region set to Europe on trades hides them elsewhere in advanced searches, I just removed the region flag entirely across all of them, hoping that'd imply "non-specific" i.e. "all", only to notice that the trade now shows in no region when searched. So basically, for someone searching US trades, they will only ever find US trades, even if there's someone in Europe (be that with Europe selected or nothing selected) who has what they're looking for.

Considering the common overlaps in play-time across time zones and D2:R finally allowing for cross-region play, it feels a bit like an artificial limitation to not offer a trade in all regions.

This can be circumvented on the buyer side by searching without a region filter. But from the seller side, there seems to be nothing you can do (at least nothing I could find) as there's neither an "all" nor the ability to multi-select regions. And since the search filters are pre-populated based on profile region, odds are a lot of trades end up going under the radar as folks likely don't remember to actively de-select it while searching.

In next hotfix I will be providing you all with a 'global' or 'none' tag for regions, and disabling automatic region filtering in searches too. This will have a good effect.
@Schnorki Improved on in patch 1.14.

Disabled default region selection when finding trades. Now when you search, it will search all regions by default basically, but you still have the option to filter by region if desired.

Yep all valid points.

In the meantime, keep searching without region filters to get the most results.
