[Petition] PoE Needs an in game Auction House.

"

That's not quite what I was talking about lol. That sounds more like obsession if you're worried that the items you sold are getting flipped. xD

I like to estimate how i failed while pricing my items :D

hello,

the game is about gambling for stuff, not shoping for stuff. The moment an auctionhouse is established, the game is dead.

those who don't like gambling picked the wrong genre.

trading is in the game just to make it possible to trade not to make it an essential part of the game, which it isn't.

kids these days...

An auction house would put everyone on even footing.The 1% of people that abuse poe.trade will not stand for an AH.How will they steal your items then?

Whats next reveal the scouring method?Oh wait thats bin done along with alot of the scumbag methods people use to abuse poe.trade.

Yes its time for an auction house or GOOD alternate trade system.The 99% need to stand up.

You went Full Occupy-Analogy. That's amazing.

Read old GGG's statements. And then read your statements. You will see where is the little error in what you just said.

Little hint: Trade + Core feature + we want them to trade.

This thread can be closed btw. Q&A clarified things there won't be any user friendly trade in path of exile.

Oh and not to mention many times statement has been they were working on something i wasn't hoping for an AH but at least something integrated.

I've been enough stupid to buy a supporter pack regarding this part. Now i ended to hide it.

No, fuck no! If that fucking thing ever appears in PoE, I'm deleting this game.

Didn't the Diablo 3 disaster teach you anything? It was not an ARPG, it was just a market manipulation game. When you find all your items via trading instead of actually playing the game - it's no longer ARPG.

If you want an auction house - Diablo 3 is still around. Leave PoE alone.

Um D3 doesn't even have even have trading anymore, let alone an AH.

They finally got rid of it? I haven't been following that game after quitting it because of the AH.

Well, if even Blizzard realized their mistake and got rid of it then why would anybody want to ruin PoE by adding it? /boggle

Such a misleading statement. It's already user friendly, it's literally only an alt+tab away. It's not like we're having to jump thru hoops for it. And if alt+tab is considered jumping thru hoops, christ that's lazy. xD

There are a lot of questions about trade in the questions thread. We're working on several different things that make the process of getting items onto sites like poe.trade easier. These are improvements that are very possible in the short term (a month or so) and will have a big impact in the short term. There will probably be other improvements in the future - advanced tech such as cross-instance trading would of course be awesome, but requires significant investment. We're very excited about the trade API changes we're working on and look forward to talking more about it when they're closer to being ready.

Sure it's a "been there, done that" type of situation but considering all the other shit they've been throwing into the game content wise like temp leagues/bug fixes/races/pvp...trade was working well enough for them to not need to focus on it. There were bigger fish to fry, so to speak. I could be wrong but that's how I perceive it.

I'm truly sorry you feel burned the way you do, hide them supporter tags as that's your option to do. I hope when the fix comes eventually, it'll be something you're happy with. :)

I havn't picked the wrong genre.
I've bet on the wrong game studio wich is different.

Definitely support an AH using shards and orbs as currency. Have you seen the public parties on the noticeboard? Are there any actual parties to join? Its 99% advertising for trades. Is that working as intended ? I think not. The trade channel is a spam fest. Again, because there is no genuine alternative. There are thousands of people bumping their forum threads hourly in the vain hope of getting a sale. And we have to rely on a number of third party sites when there really should be no need. D3 got it wrong. I have seen plenty of online games get it right.

Personally I think the reason we don't have an AH is because GGG knows that sales of Premium Stash tabs are likely to fall significantly because we will no longer need to hoard such vast quantities of gear.
