Isn't the chinese PoE's AH same as the console version's AH, which was pretty much garbage tier AH?
Shouldnt we be getting paid to test this stuff? we are all working for free! homer simpson just said we are all fools!
Loot pet tiers. I'm trying to think whether the cheapest loot pet would either only pick up exalts and mirrors or only pick up wisdoms/transmutes and portal scrolls. Considering auto looting of exalts is basically worthless since they're so rare you could argue you get more value in vacuuming up portal scrolls. Hmmm

Any AH is a good AH when compared to sifting through listings of people who actually aren't playing, aren't selling items, bs prices, whispers going unanswered, and jumping into other instances on other servers just to get an item that doesn't give you some supposed scary easy advantage...

...and don't forget that one of the core excuses as to why GGG didn't add one in Vanilla was because "it would be too hard to add in-game/we don't have the time for it" -> Well, they did it...why isn't it here? Oh, reasons.

That's a nice straw man. They never said that.

Here is the Trade Manifesto if anyone actually cares to read what they actually said:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2025870

As for the chinese AH, they still stuck to part of their principle that trading should be hard. They just changed the pain point. In the international version it is very easy to find the item you want, but it is a manual interaction with a person to get it. In the Chinese/Console version, they made the actual trade semi-automated but finding the actual item you want very hard as the search options are purposely limited.
Thanks for all the fish!

I just want a AH it be nice if you log into game and you had sold shit while being offline then could take few days off to they fix all dam bugs.


the china auction house still sucks. you can't specifically search for items, you have to search for an item type then it gives you a list of every listed item. no asking for 20% fire resist or +80 health. GGG made sure even a forced AH in their game makes you work for your gear


Same as console.

I was looking for a Might of The Meek jewel with a 1% RMR corruption. It takes 3 seconds to load 1 tab screen of results. Then you have to search through 500 pages. You can't search too fast because you'll get a timeout.

It took me 10-15 minutes to go through all 500 pages and it turned out there was NONE on the market. What a waste of time. Literally.

And this is just 1 item...

GGG's design philosophy is to frustrate the player (because they scared we quit the game when we get the items we want)

Poor game design. Devs in charge have tunnel vision.

Did it ever occur to you that they might know better then you? Just theoretically possible that you are not able predict all the downsides of ah and that they might be severe enough to not do it? I mean just for a second, or you sure your opinion is always 100 percent correct?
