Any changes in the trading system in the new expansion?

Somewhere in the past Chris told us, they are working on improving the trade system..

Well.. Where is it?
Last we heard, the trading improvements were going to be worked on in earnest after this expansion came out.

We have never heard of Divine cards before last week,
Maybe it's the same for a new trading system

What's the state of trading improvements? Are they gonna be ready for expansion release?

I don't have anything to announce about trading improvements at this stage. - Chris


There you go something Chris said back in February. In following GGG news it really seems there is nothing regarding trading "improvements" that should be expected in the coming expansion.

Soon™
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
Well lets try a new word

Not gonna happen™
Chris said last night (just 5 hours ago I guess) that trading changes won't be in 2.0. He started to say it would be in the next big expansion after that, but then backed off and pointed out that they could come sooner, and that they don't necessarily have to come all together, and that they might be able to roll out 1 thing here and 1 thing there in between 2.0 and whatever the 'next big thing' is.

Edit: this was in the Ziggy D stream Q and A.

I'm dissapoint son.
Idk, at this point i'm actually not too convinced that it'd do the game any good. Yes, yes, i know: it's unfuriating to trade from time to time, but take a step back and look at the whole picture. More or less, the only changes that'd really make a difference would push the game into a more "Diablo 3 Auctionhouse" direction, as in a more automated (or convenient) way for players to sell and buy items. Although it pisses me off to trade often enough, i'm not sure that this is what we want for PoE or what GGG have in mind.

All the popular and often named changes aim into this direction:

- offline trading
- some tool to search for stuff ingame (like poe.xyz)
- setting up a shop ingame or something alike

If i were part of GGG, all i'd do would be QoL improvements for trading and that's it. Even though i wouldn't be against an auction house at all - i'd love it. After all we effectivly already have it. But GGG wouldn't like it, so i doubt it'll come.
