Auction House
" 10000 threads with 90% of the people rejecting the idea. Keep believing people actually want this lol. |

There are ways of doing async trading without an auction house. The system is annoying af right now but an auction house would cause way more problems than it would solve - therefore someone smarter than me needs to come up with some other option/compromise.
No instant auction house tho. We're all in this leaky boat together, people.

i would say an auction house for currency only would be cool and maybe for maps.but everything beyond that would hurt the game a lot.

I doubt people did not propose this for years, but I would still say that you can make a very limited auction house where a single account could only trade no more than 1-3 items at a time. To turn away bots it can be endgame content tied to one of the Masters. They can begin with particular item types too, like maps, and even test it as a feature for a new league.
I think ideas should be tested before being completely disregarded. ~Courtesy of my favorite dark elf Merchant's Guild of Jadame. |

"It will hurt the game!" - no reasoning given
"D3 failed at it!" - real money was involved there, WoW works perfectly fine but hey "everyone else says it's bad!" Every auction house comment ever ::::::::▄▄▄▀▀▀▄▄███▄::::::::::::::

" Wow is a completely different genre of game and has account bound items, but hey lets ignore those aspects. https://youtu.be/T9kygXtkh10?t=285
FeelsBadMan Remove MF from POE, make juiced map the new MF. |

" It's totally fair to ask for us to back up our arguments, so here are some specifics about why an auction house would be bad. Every problem that occurs here and there with the trade system right now: - ppl cornering the market of certain items to inflate price - ppl undercutting one another (or being forced to by the market) so most players can't sell things - currency values fluctuating wildly so nobody knows what anything is worth - abuse by bots and rmters - most items being worth trash while a few good ones are exponentially more expensive ...would be cranked up to 11 with an instant auction house. Essentially, a small group of players (or bots) would buy up everything of any value and drastically inflate prices, while common items like uniques would be worthless. As a seller, you'd find your items not selling at all unless you're the absolute lowest price, meaning profits go way down. As a buyer, you'd find any decent mod combinations on rares are becoming totally unaffordable. The game would also get quite a bit easier, so GGG would have to completely rebalance around the idea that everyone can instantly get every item they want. But over time, the problems with the trade system might discourage people from doing it at all, so the game might get more SSF-based - honestly, I have no idea what would happen long-term but I can guarantee it would be chaos for many months, which nobody wants to go through for little actual benefit. And Standard would be TOTALLY screwed (and I like Standard and we have a right to play our old characters). This is not even a complete answer, so I invite others to add reasons why an auction house is a bad idea. It's healthy to remind the community of them every once in a while. We're all in this leaky boat together, people. Last edited by demon9675#2961 on Sep 18, 2018, 12:45:17 PM
