Gear progression in PoE is like D3 with AH

Most core players from 2014 already left the game, because it turned into something very different from what they expected. I play PoE from 2015, and i dont play it any longer, because it got way too far with powercreep.

1. Clear official statement from GGG that an integrated AH will never happen the whining stops.

2. Blocking access from all external websites to their API.

3. Making their official trade page the only one usable: it looks good and the reason is not as used is the popularity that the fan made ones gained.

4. Improving that page and making is work well and updated in real time.

That would be all. Those are things that will improve it but for myself the trading system is fine as it is right now as well.

Yeah yeah,

There will be hate, there will be drama here. Not like I really care.

currently the PoE trade system is soooooo bad, it's beyond repair. Yet I noticed from my own experiance that gearing progression looks more or less the same for many:

You start with a sitty base gear, get some rares and some currency.
You use that currency to get some good leveling items.
Once leveled up, you gather more currency, and you go for shopping again, buying entry level gear for mapping.
Once you gather more currency you go shopping again and buy better gear for harder content.

Oddly this is exactly what gearing in D3 was prior to removal of AH. The "dreaded" system many people here scream to not implement, yet poe.trade is just like AH just with a down syndrome.

I really hope tencent will finally agree that AH is needed, and give an executive order for it to be implemented.

There is an important detail, that needs to be highlighted. With the current trade options, both poe trade or from here trade option, it is always needed both players are online the same time, both needs to interact with each other.
This is called by a lot of trade liking players as a no-good version of market place.
From other side of view, they would say, so at last there needs to be conversation or no deal.

Lets have the other auction trade House version to llok at.
Each player could simple put an item for sell in the auction house, it does not matter if he is online or not, if another player would like to buy the item, he could make it with the auction house UI, pay and get item and be happy.

This is like it was in old days D3. Also we players used the auction house for sell list as an additional stash place for no cost. You could put an item for sale but with such idiotic cost, noone clear minded would buy it, so you had additional stash.
Also it made option for bad deals, buy for much to expensive cost and do the real deal by paypal. Not just players loved this auction house, a lot of the traders actually did not play the game at all, all they wanted was snping cheap items from player who did not know correct price and put again to sale for more cost. At the end of the month the cost for room, eat and drinking was paid by aution house.

I think the way it is, is good enough. It could be better but an option of an offline selling market place for bots and scammers, snipers and more sounds like a bad idea.
For me.
