WTB Better trading system.........
|
I don't think an AH is the solution, but I would like to see maybe an integration of the trade forums in game. Essentially you could create a thread in game and select stash tabs to put up for sale with b/o prices, like some of the 3rd party resources except without having to give your account info out to another party. Probably a terrible idea or never gonna happen, but personally I would enjoy a system like that.

From my point of view, the combination of the poe.trade website and spamming the trade channels is sufficient. It's not perfect, but it works, in many ways better than full auction houses. I honestly haven't seen a better alternative yet, in any game.

" I've been using poe.trade since its come out, its an ok feature and wish something like that was available in game. Only difference from poe.trade and an auction house is that its an external website that we have to use. So since a lot of people are already using it (and have been for some time), why not just put it in game? |

" I liked Linage 2's trading system, where a player can setup a shop for people to check out. Limited space and you would have to be online for people to browse it. |

At the very least add a 10 second delay before you can enter another line into trade chat. That would help alleviate all the kiddies from spamming it.

" How so? I don't think anyone is complaining about the trade window, just the trade chat itself. I for one made the mistake of wandering into /trade 1 in Warbands. Never again... And for the life of me, why do people spam the same message 2-3 times in a row? Every time someone does that, a baby kitten dies. Still in the alpha stage, but at least build diversity isn't an issue: https://wolcengame.com/home/

" When a hyperjuicer spams 2-3 times in a row like that, just right click on his name, and click ignore! Problem, solved. But yea, they need a timer in there to stop the insane spam. Last edited by ZeuZLoD#0684 on Jul 20, 2015, 8:32:32 PM

For anyone that argues against trading tools befitting anything from the 21st century on grounds of "But it's a wasteland without civilization!" Then why the hell are we using a work-around based on a third-party search engine? (being poe.xyz)
Simply put, if players consistently use a third-party option to improve on the game, that's a sure sign the game has a shortcoming! Overall, there needs to be two approaches both taken: one for gear/items, and the other for stackable currency. (and could include divination cards too, maybe white maps as well)
" People keep confusing "auction house" with "Real-money auction house." D3's AH was a RMAH. It was based around RMT. NEVER forget this. And it was NOT removed because of "Damage to the community." Rather, it was removed for a reason most people don't directly realize... In that it game legally-recognizable acknowledgement that players "owned" their pixels, which meant that Blizzard would, in fact, be liable for losses from crashes and the like. When they introduced the concept, I'd kind of called it; that it would only be temporary before they ended it, saying "Thanks for the extra millions of dollars!" A secondary reason (That mostly just dictated timing) was the transition of Diablo 3 appearing on consoles. As far as "damaging the community," pray, tell me: how, exactly, is any of the following that PoE does "good for the community"?
The current trade system in this game is downright cancerous. " Two issues with that: 1. They still managed to force you to see it once, and already disrupted your view of trade chat. 2. The ignore list has a finite number of names you can place on it, and it's insufficient (and definitely time-consuming) to go through and do it for all spammers. My guides: Summon Homing Missile (SRS) | Act II starter RF | Budget Oro's Flicker Strike

" YUCK!! It's great that you can find deals on there but between all the people that appear online to the trade site but aren't actually on in game, and the guys who respond with "sorry that tab was priced wrong" Took me 30 or 40 minutes to buy a low level ring! I've had some very good trades too and some shitty ones where they guy tries to play games to jack up the price but overall I'd almost prefer to run a broken character than shop poe.trade. Some kind of in-game system where you can actually buy the stuff that's listed, at the listed price would be awesome. |

"D3's RMAH had rather little to do with the economic collapse. Indeed, Blizzard wishes it had more to do with it: third-party gold sites undercut the RMAH minimums, denying Bobby his cut. The RMAH was a ghost town after its first month or so of hype. What destroyed D3 was that its gold had appalling currency design, and the AH which actually mattered was married to this broken currency in a way no player could shake. If D3 had let players bid pretty much anything other than gold, they would have, and the system would have saved itself. If we went back in time to Diablo 2 in its heyday and forced all trades to involve that game's gold, pretty much the same thing would have happened. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
