If console versions have auction houses PC version must have it too.

Why are people arguing one or the other, when the two are not mutually exclusive? The could add this "auction house" and have access to indexed trading as well.

I think it would ruin the game, but rational thought has really left the building. We've had that discussion.

I believe that most people opposing automated shopping are either botters and price fixing mafia members that would be hurt by it the most. Their entire reason detre in this game will collapse.
OR
Gullible people that believed when GGG said that automated shopping is somehow bad for the game in their manifesto, even though time told that it's lack of such system is a lot more harmful.
I.e. you.

Well, the existance of an AH at D3 Launch was really really bad for that game, so I'm rather cautious when it comes to wanting one for PoE. But I soo ne reason why not at least give us an automated way to trade currency, maps, trading material and the like.
Seriously, trading for rares is not even that bad. But buying maps or chisels is straight up horror.

Uh... The downfall of Diablo 3's AH, was the fact that there was a REAL MONEY Auction House.

Almost everything I am wearing, I traded for.
AND it is all because I found a lucky jewel that I would never use and sold it instantly for 10.5ex.
The system is fine, HOWEVER, I would like to accept and complete a trade mid map/delve/temple/nexus..., it is garbage that I cannot. This is a wish and NOT a game breaker for me. Or allow me to open a FREE TRADE portal to complete transaction.
To choose between the 2, I pick PC all day. the level of detail on the search wins hands down.
In my real fantasy, I can access my hideout from my phone and trade 24/7, just like the bots can. Or at least let me login to my stash from the website and complete transactions. GGG seems to have no problems taking MY money this way.

For normal players both systems existing at once will be beneficial, as you can buy and sell items in the most comfortable way.
It will only "ruin" the game for price fixing and bot using people, that keep inflating prices for years now.
I wonder for much 6l belly of the beast is going on xbox these days.
Not PS4, mind you, as that version just recently launched and is yet to establish its stable economy.

Weren't you calling everyone a white knight/botter at your steam thread (which you abandoned cause there was too much reasonable arguments for you to handle) as well?You know , not everybody that disagrees with you is either of those.And AH would make the botting even more severe , not sure what else do you expect of that.Any free market would disappear.Ah , right , but it's certainly worth it so that some people that can't be arsed to move out of their safe space can buy items!Yay!

No I abandoned because people stated to call me terrorist and getting banned.
Not a single a reasonable argument was presented.
Automated shop system IS free market, where regular person doesn't need a bot or sit in the game for 24 hour to enjoy trading.

,,Bot this , bot that , bot there''
Stop with the bots.What you don't seem to understand that auction house would make for an easier botting for these people you want to get rid of.Auction house is not the answer!(and hey i seem to be a not regular person , i genuinely enjoy trading in this game.)
