Personally I actually play the game... Hardly ever trade. I do agree GGG needs to come up with a way where playing the game is more profitable than playing the flipping game. I think it's crazy that players who often do not even play the game can actually horde most, if not all the wealth in the game.

In one of the older trading threads I have actually opted the idea of limiting the amount of trades a person can do per day. GGG needs to step up in my opinion and cut the flipping(and pricefixing with it) out of the game, and make playing the game the default setting for wealth. Even only limiting the amount of items a person can list for trade per day would already help alot, 2-5 items listing per day would do it.

Ofcourse many players will disagree, as there is only one way they know how to make wealth(flipping), but these are usually also the players that post they are bored after 5 days in a new league. So the way I see it is when they get rid of flipping it is a win-win for the game.

Ofcourse things aren't as black and white as this, but it definately is a problem.

That’s fucking retarded. Let’s limit the number of maps to 5 for every players as well because it is unfair to players that don’t have more than 30 minutes of play time at day. Cry me a fucking river.

The funny thing is the majority of players probably don’t even trade. That is why posts saying somehow noobs are the reason this should change is ridiculous. It is more of the 2-10% being jealous of the top 1% as oppose to this ‘the mass is suffering’ narrative.

This guy, talking to noobs, first talks how to sextant block. It's like his first words!
He doesnt mention using his voice that he has bisco, but it's written in the chat.
So, okay, his mistake, anyone can make currency with sextant blocking and bisco, but he probably should tell people how to get there.

Then his another chapter is how to nolife do 60 maps in 60 minutes, while shield charging between vendor and map portals. So I learned that if I did good drugs and had nothing to do, I'd be rich in poe. You know, some of these drugs that make you excited to clean your kitchen - because it's exactly how exciting is doing shaped channels back to back right now.

Rest of his advice is legit, like spam 60 maps with alchs then remove bricked ones and put them for sell.

But then best part - he teaches players how to flip items. Flipping items is bit of prisoner dillema scenario. If nobody does this, everyone is happy. If everyone does this, everyone is happy too (because everyone sells their items for exalts, not chaoses).
This parasitic life/playstyle is only possible due to exploting unaware players. This is not "efficiency", just parasite behaviour. It NEEDS noobs to work. Just like diamond mine owner NEEDS those 1 usd per hour workers to mine them.

In real life we have at least SOME laws against exploiting the workforce (unaware players in this case).

But the bottom point is this. If those parasitic players would play with each other, and noob players played with each other only, stories of "I play for month and have 10c" would disappear.

INB4 whine. Yes, I did pretty a bank doing flipping in legacy league for ONE WEEK. At first I laughed how doing one easy map nets me 30c. Then I wanted to cry about how stupid this system is and ceased the flipping.

It's not okay if player who does 10x as much maps per days earns 30-100x as much as the player two who doesn't flip. I sincerily hope we get trade restrictions. NOBODY needs to buy more than two rare items per day, OMG. It's all for flipping. On my current lab runner bf char I bought 3 chests in total, 1 offhand and 3 swords in total, 4 helmets in total (only due to mistakes on The Oak calculations), probably 2 boots and gloves each, with like 3 purchases per slot of rings and amulets.

Let's limit purchases of anything other than currency/maps/fragments and we will be fine.
