"We are not adding a Trade Market to the PC version of Path of Exile. "

Just like a said multiple times alredy, GGG treats PC western gamers as 2nd class citizens while other versions (console and china) get AH.

I'm definitely calling it: PoE economy is doomed.

One of the largest companies on the planet paid these guys almost $100,000,000 for their game. I'd say that supports the claim that you're wrong and they're right.

Anyone who thinks they want the console auction house has never actually used the console auction house. It sucks. It's a stop-gap measure because there's no way trade can be done on consoles like it's done on PC, and console players can't be expected to use a trade website. GGG still limited the ever living garbage out of it, in classic GGG fashion. If you used it for 10 minutes you'd be wishing you could just use a PC trade site.

They are so right that that company still has to implement an auction house for themselves, eh?

"Auction house would make this thing bad, that thing bad,.. everything will be doomed."

Yet the Chinese version has one, and they still seem to be doing fine.

All hypothetical. Reality speaks the truth.

The reality is that it's doing fine without one.

People who want easy trading are under the delusion that they will be simultaneously be able to:

1) Trade for anything they want
2) Trade away the stuff they don't want.

These two are mutually exclusive.

Doomed I say. Doom!

never change a running system, especially if it runs for 7 years+ this way.

i really laughed at the reddit shitstorms to change ggg's mind, guys posting the hivemind opinion without being able to answer to the simplest of questions challenging their opinion.

in the best case you earn insults. reddit mostly consists of guys who never thought about designing a arpg, let alone running one.

Balance game around trade. Make trade intentionally awful. GGG logic.

What makes you think the game is balanced around trade?
