We can't have nice quality of life features like an auction house because that crap is for casual scum.

Wouldn't want the slow class to have the same nice things as all you hardworking MFers, now would we?

It wouldn't be Path of Exile unless you spend more time trading than actually playing the game, right?

PoE = Paraphernalia Online Exchange simulator

I've been a proponent of having some sort of instant buy mechanic for a long time.
But then I got to thinking....
If we were able to buy instantly (without restriction) wouldn't that make it that much easier for the price fixers? They could just literally buy up all of the lower priced Chaos (or any item they want to fix) and sell them for a higher price.
Adding in a restriction to where you could only make X number of purchases per day wouldn't matter given the fact that you could just make a new account.

The POE community is mostly garbage. It has been plagued by RMT since alpha so trading has always been screwed up. No matter what, trading in this game will always be antiquated trash from almost 20 years ago. Being a free to play game doesn't help matters either since anyone can keep creating as many accounts as they want.

You do know you can make use of the ingame trade channels for currency exchange?


It seems a very underrated game feature.

It doesn't matter what way of trading you use, been trying to buy some fusings since yesterday, spent hours whispering people from poe trade and posting in trade channel with no answer, tried now to buy a map, whispered already 10 people minimum and no answer.
There should be a more direct approach like in Guild Wars 2, if you want to sell you can post your stuff for the price you want or answer buying offers if they offer what you want and as said before, you can post buying offers with the amount you need and the amount you pay.

Buying items

Place Order — match other current buyers or place a custom buy order. Currency will be held until a seller is found or the transaction is canceled.

Buy Instantly — purchase from current sell orders based on available volume.

Selling items

Sell Instantly — sell to current buy orders based on available demand.

List This Item — match other current sellers or place a custom listing. Items will be held until a buyer is found or the transaction is canceled.
