How would an auction house be worse exactly?
Anyway if you guys want an item right now just spam like crazy the first 20 listings one after the other and join the first party that sends invite. If you get anymore invites just decline them, it's not your problem, it's GGG's problem.

Trade will not be improved because GGG has no idea how to balance their game if more players get access to items they need.
Current system is basically an intentional time waster that serves as an artificial barrier to end game. Last edited by MECHanokl on Jun 17, 2018, 5:02:10 PM

" As it always been and as been said in my post. A listing fee +% of the price of purchase. If you have Auction with "buy it now option". It always been: "Pay the % of the Buy it now fee, if it auction sell at lower you get reimbursed the difference in fee." There always been a minimal fee in Auction house to prevent filling them with useless things no one want.. This also help the game because ppl end up giving stuff to newbie instead of trying to suck em dry... Orbs do have value. Last I checked on poe.trade they did.. You ask 1 ex for Y chaos orb. Fee is for listing time +% of Y upon sell. Seeing as the sell happen automaticly you dont get ppl putting fake price to change value. They would lose the Ex if they listed it 90c as someone would buy it! How is the selling of crappy items no one buy been fixed in listings ?

Auction house
It's their choices, it's their game and it's the decision they made. They accept it, live with it and make money from that decision. <--- Totally fine too. But anything saying auction house isnt a solution is the same as taking a sentence of the bible to say the bible is true. Last edited by petitcrabe1 on Jun 17, 2018, 6:18:30 PM

" yeah, it's not like WoW has that exact system and the AH is being abused to no fucking end. |

" Yeah, and it's not like most auction houses... The ratio isnt % based. You can list something 10 000 gold and pay 9 gold per 24 hours. I think I made my point. If the ppl selling overpriced had a listing fee based on price they set in %. The ppl going this would go bankrup and unable to list at all. If selling 10 000 gold costed 100 gold per day and he bought 12 items. It would cost him 1200 gold per day to keep his listing. After 1 week he would be in the red and have learned his lesson at 1% of listed price. There always is a way to take a bad system and justify not implementing it... Taking a good one and considering it seem to be a lot more difficult. If if take you 100 days to sell an item. You sure know that it's overpriced. If you try to control the market. The % fee will eat you up. Last edited by petitcrabe1 on Jun 17, 2018, 8:10:58 PM

GGG said that no HA will come to the game, and they said it again, and again, and again, and again. But still, we get a new rant post about trade/HA every fucking day.

Auction house is *ALREADY* in the game... you just have to access it outside the game.
Find the item, find the seller, communicate, meet, trade... The *ONLY* thing that would conceivably change would be the 'communicate' and 'meet' part - IMO I would not mind that onerous, frustrating, annoying aspect of trading removed. Messaging 35 people *not* showing as AFK/Offline just to get one response. When someone posts an item, there needs to be an interface where I can send a 'whisper' to the player, but it goes to the automated system that opens the trade window with the item in it. I put the chosen fee in my window, click okay, and the trade is done automatically. Patch Notes 3.15:
Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive. Patch Notes 3.19: Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment. | |
I just want to be able to trade while doing the Labyrinth.

I see both sides of this debate that has been going on now for the 5 years I've been playing POE. At this point I would not care if they added one in and cut the drop rates drastically to try and preserve some semblance of an economy. Maybe a limited AH that only allowed X number of items to be listed or a personal shop (PS) either of which requiring you to be online and actually interact - no offline selling - but eliminating the need for poe.trade On a similar topic I wish GGG would allow infinite currency stacks for trade only...the ability to place all the currency in a trade for the item(s) would make some trades much more safe for us casuals. I've lost control of the controls...
