[SUGGESTION] Auction House + Special AH Currency (from vendors) - idea

^ Have you ever used the poe.trade site/app and just watched the prices. They normalize extremely quickly and wind up with extremely minor variations on the prices. You can convert anything and everything to a fixed (gold) price within a week of a new league starting, and by the end it's price won't be much different. Drop ratios are NOT variable, and in the end they will normalize supply and thus the price themselves. Any and all variations are natural by-products of the process of trade anyway and occur regardless of the manner of trade itself. That is why the poe.trade value consists mainly of copy/paste private messages of those fixed prices anyway... with minor adjustments that would occur anyway (look at ebay and it's all over the place).

You were talking about it here actually: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1398982/page/5

That copypasta method of trade that is common is only because all of the prices are fixed based on rarity + demand. Flexibility is just an illusion in the end and a price indexer is no different then just stating what the price is on the item card after a while.

No, I was for it (since original beta test) and very very very clearly stated so... Why else would I say we already have a auction house that functions exactly the same... just with the pain in the ass specifications of needing to be at the keys and it's extreme reliance on third party sites that create possible attack vectors (for virii) and a possible collapse if said third party ceases to support the site/app?

Maybe thats why D3 gives me more fun, Set items and Legendary (Unique) items are great now and You can enjoy gathering and using them. I honestly love gathering legendary and set items, Rares are boooring as hell to me.

yeah this is definitely not the game for you. I wouldnt hold your breath hoping this game will turn into wow, it will never happen, you should really just go play that game instead.
