Reddit is Going Nuts Over Trade
"I dont think there's a design problem. it's more of a qol problem some people insist is bigger than it is- my opinion solely. clearly, computers are faster and do calculations and actions much faster than humans. hence no auto buyouts, ever. why have trade at all ? because the game is kinda based on that. a lot of people wish it wouldn't, but it was. blizz went the BoA route with D3 | |

The PoE trade system isnt horrible...but its not efficient either. You cant post anything in trade chat until your item instantly gets pushed away from the other spammers.
Finding people who arent afk on poetrade is stupid,,, or the item already sold. Or they just dont reply. The system is broken and at one time maybe worked better when there wasnt as many olayers...but right now its not good. Something needs to be done because this game runs on economy | |
" The problem with buyouts is bots. The problem with TRADE is RMT. Your solution to ah bots is to not have buyouts at all. That is the same thinking as, the solution to RMT is not to have trade at all. So, if it's acceptable to have trade, as long as there is a way to mitigate RMT (like GGG have done), then it's acceptable to have buyouts, as long as there is a way to mitigate AH bots. Having a buyout timer will mitigate AH bots. Letting sellers manually accept the buyout, over-riding the timer, will make the process interactive, like it is now, but much more convenient because it won't require being online at the same time, partying up, and visiting hideouts. edit: questioning whether the game should have trade was more a rhetorical one. Basically, if GGG can implement trade despite it enabling RMT, they can enable buyouts despite it enabling AH bots. Using a buyout timer I gave as an example is just one ways they could do it. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give moar Power Creep Pls Last edited by Druga1757 on Jun 30, 2016, 10:11:27 AM

well for every one like you who likes to haggle, there is someone like me who ignores every person who asks for a lower price on items i have already put up at fair market value. I dont know the reason for no auction house but i know a few reasons why we should have one.
1. eliminates problem with afk players 2. eliminates times when you can not trade because you are in labrynth, group, or master's timed mission. 3. eliminates having to interacted with jackasses. fortunately as far as i can tell, the ignore person capability has no limit. I am wondering if GGG is looking at other games with auction houses (such as blizard) and thinking that auction houses hurt those games. I personally like auction houses and i would cut and paste world of warcraft auction house if i could (with a few slight improvements). This is not because i want to focus on making a fortune. Its because there are too many annoying people in trade. An auction house will not stop these annoying people from doing stupid things on the auction house, but at least i wont have to talk to them. |

You act like people do haggle. If you do haggle, or even attempt to, the seller most likely won't respond.
Seriously. Ask people if they will take less, most of the time you get ignored or get a shitty response Dynamic Environment - Day/Night, Rain/Lightning - http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/110100

Threads like this blow my mind. I don't trade much but when I do it is always ridiculously easy. Makes me think all these problems are grossly exaggerated. 99% of the people I whisper reply and the trade goes through. 99% of the whispers I get are the same way even if i reply that I'm in a Zana or soemthing and I'll be a little while. They always say "np" and the trade still happens when I'm finished with the mission. Are you guys just not refreshing the index before whispering? I don't see how you can get so many not logged in messages. I can kinda see how you can get some afk replies but I just haven't had much of an issue with that. If I get that, the next guy responds. I've only had 1 player not respond and not be afk. I did the /whois and he was in a map so I figured he was occupied. What am I doing differently that makes trading so easy when some people are having such a hard time with it?
