3 Years and still no trade system....

Well there probably would have been, the community of the game is so obsessed with their hatred of anything D3 that they reject any form of trading that doesn't involve the pure D2 experience, which is RMT, 3rd party websites, and spamming the crap out of chats.
I feel that communities will always gravitate to the easiest form of trading, and in this game that's RMT....even with some form of in game legit trading, that doesn't involve spamming chat and waiting around for people to be on like with forum trading...youll still get RMT.... However right now all the best stuff is on that old famouse D2 RMT site, xyz has some decent stuff but can be a pain. Ironic thing about all of this is that the community, so blinded by their harded of D3 (over a game lol sad) that they cant see the forest for the trees...there IS auction house and RMAH in this game just on a 3rd party site...for whatever reason separating that from in game makes it ok for these folks. Its one of the most painful displays of groupthink ive seen in a game. Personally I think the first step to fixing this issue is to have an NPC that can and will hold items while you are offline to facilitate trades when your not around. Give him and item, place the trade amount, log off, when you log on see if someone took the trade. Like desync though, everyone including GGG will forever pretend there isn't an issue and nothing will be done as it will slow progress with new cash shop things and the next act content.. just for try, for see and for know

" I agree with some of this. We already have the hideouts set-up as peoples HQ/Shop. Maybe we could introduce a tradesman NPC you can place in your hideout. We could still do with some sort of xyz interface to search for items in game but rather than sniping and buying from that, you have to right click the sellers name, visit their hideout, then go to the NPC and either purchase or offer for the item, with several confirmation screens. If people are online, then you can haggle. Maybe a minimum level requirement, like 20 or something. I don't know much about botting but I'm sure all of that would act as a deterrence. I used to play a game called Phantasy Star Universe which had a similar shop system and it seemed to work effectively so you could still sell when offline. This would help reduce trading times and increase playing times. Win-win. People would also be able to buy stuff that got listed but the seller might not be online for a week or so. This would save time trawling through sites like xyz for online people only. |

I don't care about having to go to poe.xyz to trade. All I want is cross-instance trading.

I would love something similar to the trade system in Ultima Online. Let us set up vendors in our hideouts. We can buy said vendors off the cash shop. Each one only holds a certain amount of items, like maybe 20-25. The vendors are linked to PoE.trade and items on the vendor show up in search. There is also a bulletin board in game listing every single player and their hideout. After you find the item on PoE.trade you search for the player name, right click to port to his hideout, and buy the item off his vendor.

Just a suggestion:
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1208985 (its possible to have something like poe.xyz in game and probably not even the need for the seller to be online (with a trade/sell only tab and a fixed price on the items set by the seller)) What do you mean that the league is not rewarding or fun? You put in 5 useless items in the device and you get 1 useless item... Oh wait! /Talisman League(2015/2016) Oh look, Synthesis League(2019) = Talisman League all over again.

"3 Years and still no trade system...." Good. Keep it that way.

Yea everything should stay the same which is the best for the game just like all the micro stutter (aka stylish slow-mo) and the desync feature that increase PoE's hardcore-ness... this is the only way PoE will keep getting more and more players... look at PoE rightnow... population explosion! Please dont change anything or PoE will be ded instantly.
The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change.
Welcome to PoE. |
