Why is trading so hard now?

Trades involve two things. Supply and Demand. In standard, your demand is essentially zero, and your supply is essentially infinite.

^agreed

Because you charge 30-50 exalts for stuff when 95%+ of the players dont even have a single exalt.

tries to sell 5L for 7exalts wonders why no one buys lolololol


paid 10 chaos for this one lololol

Trading is really easy if you play in Invasion. You can sell shitty rares, uniques, gems very easily if you have a shop and know what worth your items. PPl ripping every day, the economy always fresh.

After lvl 87 and 86 invasion rip, I make a char in ambush. I see the trading chat and the economy seems very good. Mostly i see fair prices.

Standard is bullshit. You only see in trading chat this : wts legacy bor, wts legacy aegis, wts legacy kaoms, wts legacy iiq gem. Most of the items are really overpriced like crown of eyes, shav, etc. If you want to buy some rares, you can only find overpriced craps. reaaly fucking overpriced craps. And this all hate not because i dont have legacys or op items (like the mjölner crybabes). Just really sad what happened with this league in the last 1 year.


If you want better trading experiences, you should play in invasion/ambush.

sorry but this is just legends. Yes price in invasion are cheaper on some items, but on other it s 3 time more expensive. In invasion 1ex is 30-33C, in standard it s 26c.

In standard Kaom is at 35ex, in invasion it is at 45+ ex.

Talking about overpriced crap, in invasion you can find crap rare weapons with 400pdps at 2ex, where in standard you find them at 10c.

The bolded sentence actually proves his point. You can sell even mediocre items quite well in Invasion, while you can not do that in Standard.

Path of Exile’s economy is the most important element of the game to us.

Yes, becuase in invasion kaoms is one of the best item for every hp base build. MOreover at this moment in invasion only 3 kaoms heart for sale, in standard 67 available. (poe xyz).
This true for every good defensive item like lightning coil (in invasion 2ex+, in standard 1-2chaos).
But see the prices on crown of eyes: standard the cheapest b/o is 60 ex (LOL), in invasion the cheapest is 8.5 ex!

You do it wrong. Just checked poe xyz again, 413pdps mace 10c, 420pdps 5l staff 1ex (in invasion). And in invaison there are only 98 400+ pdps 2h weapon. In standard how many? I think easily 500+.

The chaos/ex rates are always higher in challange leagues.

BUT, in challange leauges you can easily can sell almost everything (mostly i think in invasion). If you mapping in invasion you can sell easily your rare loot and make 30-60 chaos profit / day without flipping items.


In standard you can only sell super op rares / uniqes, becuase no one buy shitty leveling gear. You need 10 ex, flipping 2 day and make +20 ex, flipping, flipping, flipping, and you can have 200+ ex and good gear. I know becuase i did this way. And really get bored with this shit.

This is my experience.

oh well... perhaps I have been away from this game for too long... perhaps standard has gone to shit

Had to happen at some point. I mean, the league is now 15 months old. That's a LOT of time.
