PoE forums is really the most bizarre thing in the world

Most ppl were not upset about AH OP they were upset about abysmal drop rates forcing you to traffic AH to progress and blamed AH. Auction House was awesome. If you are going to have trading there is no better system. Market decides price rather than all the trade scams going on in chat. Not to mention it was convenient, searchable, and useful to compare your finds to come to a price point. Why they deleted AH is a mystery to me because it was a head of its time. PoE could use a AH. All you use poexyz instead which is a half ass solution.

I left D3 with over 100K elite kills because of self found - bound on account (BoA) crap. There are huge problems there in that your fate is almost all RNG. You may find set you are looking for first three days of playing. Conversely you may never find it in a lifetime of playing. It's RNG - time input only gives you more dice rolls no guarantees. Hard to min/max if not impossible. You want a perfect rolled Tal Rasha chest to go with your other set pieces? GL, again, a lifetime may never get it.
