this, and not an auction house
a "buy-it-now" house

funny thing is most these people raging that it needs an auction house are scrubs, and don't even know what an auction house is or entails.


Something like this is what they need. Miss original D3 being able to post items and sell them while you are playing the game.

the guy is lying to himself. This is the player interaction with trading:

Player 1: Copy paste want to buy
Player 2 invites
Trade done
Player 2: automated bot "thank you good luck"
Player 1: ty

Players find it so trash that they are using bots.


lmao, you say "ty" to bots

Only for small items like maps or minor currencies
Wasting time in trade but also in sorting out all the loot, because heh this pays tabs.

if you think this shitty game doesn't need an auction house for trading. Bunch of neckbeards who play all day so they have time to waste hours on trading.


Stop with the edgy clickbait titles. You're not fifteen anymore.

it does need an AH for currency and maps. i'd stop it there. no need to go full d3.


i agree with this
and for now? im not gonna play any poe at all until theyve decently addressed this. playing with this shit trade api (which doesnt work for shit) pretty fucking sucks.

ggg really needs to so something quick, alot of people are fed up with this crap

I couldn’t agree with you more. Been ranting about this for the last 4 years - but at the same time I understand why they don’t do it.

It’s because the game is terribly made as is. They need to preserve every last bit of “player interaction” because without trade you’re unlikely to ever party with anyone, with the exception of the beginning of a league. And you’re unlikely to ever message anyone short of global chat. GGG wants players to interact because more interaction means more friends means you play more time means you buy more mtxs means they make more money - full stop - they’re making a decision to have a worse game to make a greater profit. It’s kind of like why they won’t introduce a “try on” mtx section so that you can see what the cool helm mtx you’re looking at will actually look like on your guy - so that every so often you buy one, end up not liking it and then have to buy another to replace it - and they make a few more bucks.

Bottom line is GGG undoubtably has thought this through. It’s a video game company that is just trying to make money - and you can be sure that they have dozens of not hundreds of people testing EVERYTHING and looking into every possible policy through thinktanks that they can. They undoubtably tested this and found they made more money with what is essentially a worse game and left us to wallow in the muck that is pming 20 players looking for a current league bog map. Until GGG introduces some completely new way to interact with players an AH won’t happen.
