Trading Community in POE

Hello everyone.

So since I started playing POE, the trading community as ALWAYS been awful for numerous reasons;
- People not responding to pms in game (not only for cheap items, but sometimes for pretty expensive one).
- People being absolut jerks, I wanted to buy an item and the guy just ignored me for no reason while we were trading (IGN: [Removed by Support]) if you are reading this, just tell me why you ignored me.
- Their is more and more bots that are selling stuff (I like it because at least they are responding to pm, are fast, and polite).

So I am wondering like I guess many other people, why isn't there an auction house, like almost every other online game?

There are countless of threads about AH and things related to trade.
Look at the Trade Manifesto to get an idea behind the current system.

Btw I have rather positive experience with trade and community overall.
The only thing that bothers me is buying cheap items/maps sometimes.

You can face it by pming more people at once and while ignoring the lowest / oldest offers (and ofc offline).

I would like to have some reputation system so that people would be "forced" to reply or remove cheap items tabs or items they dont want to sell any more. It would be probably hard to implement (in a non-abusable way) but not impossible imo.

for me its mostly fine. I never try buy anything cheaper than 2c unless its very early in the league. The time wasted is worth more than 1c.

The biggest for me problem are cheap maps. We are now "forced" to trade by master objectives and elder spawning and I hate that really :) .. I hope the come up with something.. maybe the trade board for maps only?
