Filter out chars less than lvl 10

Next time you get around to updating the main version, it would be nifty to have an option to filter out any characters less than lvl 10. Maybe there is a way to do this already?

On my Realm i think i have like 14,000 chars, only 5,000 of them are over lvl 10. Would be great to have an option to display only greater than lvl 10 in that little bar graph.

Expanding on the filter option idea.... I would like to see it work for all levels. For example look at how many Blood Elfs are between lvl 60 and 70. Currently its quite difficult to click on that bar for the only 1 person who's that level. But if we were to specify which levels we can select, maybe as a search box then that would be great! =)

Agreed yeah, it'd be great to be able to narrow it down by level - it really is tricky clicking on those tiny little bars ;)

Also being able to narrow it down would be nice to get an overview of which classes are most common in a level range, like I know the highest draenei on my server are shamans, but what other classes have got high up? There's not enough at any one level to just click a particular level to check, the range of 40-70 is about what I want to see :)

I agree some control would be nice, but i'm guessing you don't want to go crazy with it. From my perspective, i'd be happy with the ability to filter out results that really dont matter (ie lowbies :oops:)

In addition to filtering, selective pruning would be nice too - perhaps an option to prune characters less than 10, so those of us on new servers can get a better visual representation of what the level curve really looks like.

I don't know that that would be real effective... In 20 minutes more, you would just see them again. :/.

I play on Moon Guard, which is almost a month old now. I have about 14,000 characters tracked on that server, and about 10,000 of those are level 10 or less, with nearly 2,000 being level one. I'm guessing these characters aren't coming back, but I have to wait for 30 days for them to get out of my file. Being able to selectively prune them out would dramatically decrease my upload times, considering these characters will probably never be seen again.

Prune Patch

Hi, I thought about this for a while. I see 3 possible solutions.

1. Add a popup menu to the prune button to choose a prune method
2. Add a config setting to choose a prune method
3. Just change the default behaviour of the button

I don't really like 1., it's too much micro management. So I just hacked 3.

If you apply this patch all characters less than level 11 which were not seen in the last 15 days get pruned.

Code: Select all

At the very least do not scan for level 1's. That way we do not record all of those level 1 floating body spammers in the main cities.
