This game needs an automated, in-game trading system

I'll leave you club of newbies alone. Not a single normal argument was made, it's only whining. GGG will never implement an AH, thank god they are not bowing down to you, our casual minority who are to lazy to do anything themselves. Go back to Blizzard.

" Newsflash, poe.trade already works as an online only unsanctioned "market"... And if even solo centric people are bothered by the lacklustre "bartering" system, that says a lot regarding PoE being a "game centered around trade"... Most of us couldn't be bothered by your "go back to Blizzard" comment, but if GGG wants truly to have "trade" in PoE as a "core aspect", they need to bring it into a lot of focus and improve upon the current system. PSS: Our almighty TencentGGG overlords are very scrupulous regarding criticizing their abilities to take proper decisions and consider everything "needlessly harsh and condescending"...

" personally i never untick that "online only" checkbox when looking up items. and your hopes for search improvements in the chinese trading implementation: depends on the overal progression of the individual groups of players. if it's restricting to a point that players can't find the 4 to 5 items they need per league it likely will be improved. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

ok a question: somebody got an example of a game with no item sink, no item degradation over time, no periodical global power creep in expansions by raising the max item level or affixes, a offline auction house with offline trade that ran successfully for over 5 years with a million players min?
(i'm aware that ggg did introduce new affixes for some gear types) age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

" PoE's economy is OK only in leagues, that last few months. In Standard (5+ years), it's broken as fuck! IGN: MortalKombat

" Your lack of knowledge about an AH is mind-blowing... I played several games with an AH and it was quite easy to set one up. 1. Each player has a maximum amount of trades each day. 2. A trade currency needs to be formed, something that drops on rare occasions, similar to chaos orbs. 3. Your account needs to be verified to unlock trading. (SMS, Email) No undercutting, no sniping will happen. But even without these type of adjustments, an AH will still work. I am far from a hardcore trader at WOW and yet I sell my items just fine and buy of others equally well. POE trade is a mess, as it has no protective environment in place. You can make hundreds of accounts, list items you don´t even have and make thousands of trades every day, while constantly undercutting other players. In my opinion the only people defending the third party trading are those who abuse it, by either scamming, real money involvement or botting. |

" What you don't like on completely unregulated supply/demand based economy? Is it that the high demand quality items are too expensive? Is it that every long term player probably has all the gear and does not want to sell it? Is it that the long therm players accumulated astronomical wealth and can trade between each other for T1 perfectly corrupted items for 100+ exalts? Please do share! I represent only myself, my own thought and believes. I am individual, not a representative of the community.
I am not speaking on behalf of someone else and I don't get offended by things that have nothing to do with me. 3.13 was the golden age. |

" I never said anywhere the current system is perfect and no changes are needed. We desperately need good changes, but a full blown AH would be the worst thing that could ever happen to this game. For other comments regarding limiting amount of trades etc, please GTFO. |

" registering players with credit card information and verify the validity by having a test withdrawal (the only one method that makes sense) would run contrary to the spirit of the game where you support only if you like the game. if ggg liked the idea they would already have implemented it to be able to more efficiently ban rmt and botters (currently they can only reliably ban their supporters). you can't compare poe with wow, the difference in the amount of players is substantial. there is much more demand for items in big communities. trading tokens could work but so would having to do a haku master mission to get one item from an offline player. we already have suggested that several times. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

" Well, you think an AH will be the worst thing ever, just like GGG seems to think, but the reality disagrees. PoE should make the gap between trading + 0 amount of danger and farming dangerous content, a lot smaller for one. The "trading" system, be that "asynchronous" bartering or a full blown AH should have accountability and should ensure that buyers know what they are buying, and why, and traders should also be discouraged to "flip" for profit, but they should actually be encouraged to trade difficult to obtain items a whole lot more. Scamming should be reduced to 0, or close to it. You shouldn't be limited on the amount of trades, but you should at least have a delay to make you think about what you buy/sell. Right now, everyone sells everything for anything. That's very cool, but let's give everyone a fair chance at buying the right item for a fair price when they actually feel they need it, as that's what "trade" should be about. And if GGG acknowledges that a healthy economy with a multitude of currencies is such a "chore" to "balance", either increase vendor options (you know, so "sinks" should feel "worth it") or give a better access to all the various currencies, at least those used in "crafting". Unfortunately drops should also be tuned accordingly, and "chase items", be them end game uniques or rares, should have a way smaller gap until the "next best thing". Do I expect GGG to provide a satisfactory solution? Ultimately yes. The problems will reside in the amount of time need for it to be reached... Oh, and please, keep a civilised tone if you still insist to continue the conversation, as you didn't offer in any way solutions to the "trade system" necessary improvements by keeping yourself on your high horse...
