Categories

Every Trade chat message is classified into exactly one of seven categories based on keyword matching in Categories.lua.

Category	What it catches
WTS	"WTS", "selling", "for sale", gold-per-item patterns
WTB	"WTB", "buying", "LFW" (looking for work — enchanters), "paying X g"
WTT	"WTT" (want to trade), barter offers
ENCHANT	Enchant-specific listings, mongoose / sunfire / battlemaster requests
CRAFT	Craft requests — primal fires, nether vortex, trade goods
TRAVEL	Summon offers (WTS SUMMON, SUMMONS [ZONE]), portal traders
MISC	Anything that doesn't match the above — guild recruits, raid sales, fun spam

Adjusting category classification

Keywords live in Categories.lua. If something's getting miscategorized:

1. Open an issue with the raw message text and what you expected.
2. Keyword additions go through the KEYWORDS table in Categories.lua.

Age-based fading

Fresh listings are white. As they age toward the expiry window, they fade to yellow, then to grey. Expired listings drop off. Tune the expiry window in the options panel.
