Update News and Shaper and Elder Economy Pipeline

So (likely) tommorow, there will be a new Filter version.

This version will include 3 things:

1) A complete rework and new approach to shaper and elder item highlighting

2) LOTS of new FilterBlade Features

3) A dozen of small changes for stuff, I'm intending to implement for 3.5. Note that this won't be the 3.5 filter. That comes later

So I wanted to give you guys a small insight into how I do the new Elder/Shaper item tiering for your eyes only.

• Grab timestamped poe.ninja data for all 82-86 shaper/elder items
• Store that data locally (for now). This results in around 5000 different items. Each with extra information about it's name, average chaos price, how many of these items were indexed and some other stuff.
• Open one or multiple of these files in my pipeline
• Clean the data. This consists out of currently 7 small algorithms that are designed to remove false data, remove anomalies, remove outliers etc. 
• Further enrich the data, but applying exceptions, meta-data
• This generates the overview - a list of items, that are potentially expensive, combined with average prices, confidence values and prices per level.
• From that overview - after some "handmade" cleaning and reviewing I generate the 4 tierlists: T1/T2-ilvl82 and T1/T2-ivl86 The levels still need some adjustment, but these lists are pretty representative of the items that have quite a bit of popularity on the market.
• After some more finetuning I add these lists on top of handmade class based rule-set (such as any shaper amulet over ilvk 85 is treated as a very good item, due to the T1 quant roll). That ruleset ensures further security and detection - in case the economy based list fails.
• Finally the tierlists are enhanced with some special cases (such as Atlas Bases).

The result is a highly advanced and fairly accurate from my tests tierlist, that can still be finetuned by hand.

Currently there's still a lot of work I have to do manually, but I intend to automate this process in the future a lot.

I've attached an example of how these economy based tierlists and data look!

I believe those are a curious sight and you might find out the one or other interesting thing.

Take care and good night!
