By effort you mean not playing the game to instead alt-tab, ctrl-c, alt-tab, ctrl-v repeat. Ah yes, the effort. It's wonderful how sparse the content is so we get to experience the wonderful world of effort.

What is stopping you to do the same? I get the impression that is even asking too much for some.

Ok 5 minutes to get an exalt, now that you slammed your item in 2 seconds, did you got the result you wanted first try? or you need to buy an annul and more exalts now?

I don't think you fully get it. The game is not designed in a way that you will get your dream items on a silver plate.

And how did you got all that alterations that you traded for the exalt? I think it was by farming (here is the effort), the effort of spending 5 minutes whispering the guy to trade your alts for the exalt was really necessary and fun?

Trade is fine. The whole point of poe is that it's hard to trade. If you could just buy everything off an ah the game would die.

Okay, I see this stupid idea mentioned all the time by the anti AH crowd, if something is supposedly for sale, why would buying it break anything? Are you admitting MOST of what shows up to supposedly buy is not actually a legit item to be traded? There is already a place listing things for sale so what exactly are you saying would break?

Read it, then read the newest trade manifesto and let me know if there still isn't any problem with trade.

They are quite easy to do 180 and blame third party shady system.
"To create trade forum threads easily, users would download third-party programs and enter their account details (or at least web session IDs). While these tools and their authors never took advantage of this in an illegal way, it was a potentially dangerous situation for our users and we really needed an official solution. We made it so that Premium Stash Tabs can expose their contents to trade sites on a public API."

Not that long ago they went very heavily with
"Online APIs
A common issue with the third-party trading websites right now is the lack of reliable data about which players are online. To address this, we have created a new API that allows third-party websites to be able to get this information. The third party websites you use to find items will be updated to use this API soon!"

Just sharing some knowldge people decided to ignore/forget (I was not even aware of this not long ago)
