what happened with currency trades?

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.



There are ways to make those methods not so desireable, like say if you buy an item you can not purchase another for 15 or more minutes after the item is delivered. You could make it so you can not chain search for items, by having search speed limits, or longer limits more searches get done. It does NOT matter though, as Chris will let his game die before he gives in to any buyout system.

Yeah about that...

See Chinese and console trade markets. Chris is still alive and well.

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


It seems a very underrated game feature.


LOL

Yeah. They suck. Get a console and go try it out. Try to search for specifics. You can't. You have to slog through thousands upon thousands of the same item, garbage after garbage, hoping a decent one shows up, not knowing if a better one exists 3 screens down. On PC, you just check a box or type a number and everything is filtered for you.

I play on PS4. Map and currency trades are a dream and far superior.

Specific Multi-modded rares are a nightmare currently, but improvements are on the way.

It is getting worse too. Yesterday I was trying to buy a tabula for leveling purposes. While I did not check every single offer a good number of them, even the ones at the bottom of the page, were either trying to scam, did not respond or were already sold. I had to manually input 13 chaos orbs to get the next offers. Never seen something like this before.

Just fyi the api is fucked up and not updating or posting like it should or has in the past.

So while there are still fixers, flippers, and non-responders, there is also that chance things have already sold or updated

On the other side, I was breaking a bunch of ex to buy emblems yesterday. I had 7 up for sale, and sold them all to the first guy who whispered (~5 minutes after putting them in) for 120c each.

I kept track for funsies I got 290 whispers before they finally delisted themselves.

Most of the people aren't scamming, the items are just already sold and people cba to reply "sold" to every single person.

hence the problem, because this game is based around mostly using rares. Sure those platforms have some benefit, but PC is still far superior, and it SUCKS

I never said they were all scammers, I said there were scammers, people who never responded and the ones who said sold. Whether its one big scam operation or the website being slow doesn't matter, it is still bad experience.
