Auction/Trade House

Surely there are alrdy a lot of threads about this, but I can't stress it enough.. this game needs a god damn auction/trade house!
This league is overrun with scumbags trying to scam/scamming people!! Only just in the last two days I've encountered two different people both trying to scam using Carcass Jack as bait.

Please GGG, before the community gets even more toxic, add a auction/trade house.
We all know you got the dough for it. But certainly none from me anymore.

Totally agreed!!!!

It seems this league GGG have actually listened to the ongoing complaints about map sustain and improved map drops. Maybe there is hope now that they might actually listen to requests for proper trading facilities that don't interrupt in-game play or alternatively negate the need for trade.

Heh, Im starting to think now those scammers arr doing actually useful thing to community. Now much more wants AH than ever and realised it is urgently needed already.

Surprisingly.

Give me an auction house, or give me death.

lol and I've been seeing sales bots as a positive thing for a few leagues now, as they always respond quickly.

for all the bluster about wanting to stifle trade bots, GGG has done an excellent job of designing a system that favours sales bots.

who can respond more quickly to sales request: a human or a sales bot?

who is more disadvantaged by making a sale: a human running a single portal zana or a sales bot?

who can simultaneously be in another room making coffee while making a sale: a human being or a sales bot?

yes, those scammers want that, they would LOVE an AH and would bot it 24/7 snapping up all those incorrect posting that you forgot to change from alts to exalts, they'll love sniping items and then cornering the market it gives scammers/bots FAR more control and you are to blind too see that since it prevents you from getting scammed (which is impossible if you use your eyes in the first place)

also, No, you are not getting one, as stated repeatedly since the closed beta of the game it has not change over the years and still hasn't changed nor will it change.

Risk Assessment: Auction house Versus Current Situation

Auction House:
Seller may accidentally list item at incorrect price and get sniped.
No risk to buyer

Current Sitation:
Seller may accidentally list item at incorrect price and sell low without realising
Seller is ripped off by a buyer altering the price in the whisper
Seller is ripped off by a buyer placing a different currency in the trade window but doesn't realise because they have been pulled away from gameplay and are distracted
Seller accidentally puts wrong item in window and doesn't realise.
Buyer accidentally puts wrong currency or amount of currency in window and doesn't realise.
Buyer responds to seller who then tries to change price from what is listed.
Perandus scam anyone?

I see your point. NOT!!! Would add more except I have to go now.

Nope! The last thing this game need is an auction house!

Read GGGs trade manifesto for why:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2025870

GGG confirmed during their last Q&A that nothing has changed, and that they're not going to implement easy trading. In other words, it's not going to happen.

The manifesto is old...
They broke the game with crafting system (essence/fossils/shaper/elder basses). The manifesto should be reconsidered!
At least they can try AH league, who says it should be implemented to a core game after the test. Ppl like you and GGG is just like my Father who just not believe in tectonic plates, because he's old and is hard to admire that you wrong when you old you know...
