How dead is Standard mode?

I've come to realize over the years that when someone calls trading dead, it's because trading is no longer the frantic and volatile market of early league. I've played many leagues well into the "league is dead" stages and never had issues trading.

I would assume the same train of thought is applied to Standard. If the market doesn't resemble the unhealthy trading of early leagues, then it must be dead (and it is probably fine).


I tend to assume its because they are only PM'ing the cheapest items for sale and not going to the 'expensive' listings, which are actually the proper cheapest items for sale.

See this every league too, many threads complaining "people never respond to trades!!!?!!?!" when I'm sitting here thinking "everyone responds to my trade requests in <30sec, do you know what fake listings are?"

I mean there's almost always more people in the standard town you rip to than the hc league you came from (except maybe first week league).

So 2nd busiest place in PoE.
We tested it extensively
"How dead is Standard mode?"

Its ok. League is more populated, but its still ok. Prices are higher, but once you have items or orbs, you are on same price level like others.

I twice quited League once I have entered Labyrinth. From that time I play Standard only.

Standard is dead
Maybe 5% of the trades done on leagues

And 99% are just noobs trying to buy 1-5c items which isn't even worth the time to look through my 500 remove only tabs to find.



You're part of the problem, btw.



No.

The problem is Tencent (GGG).

Even without asking for an auction house, 8 small keys on the corner of the screen that we can use to make prerecorded reply messages would solve most problems. It's not done out of sheer laziness from their part.

RitualMurder is bad at trading though, I've generated 100's of exalts amounting to at least a few mirrors this "league" in Standard.

Standard is fun to me, playing with my goodies instead of being forced on the dumb economy game all the time.


Edit: On a side note, the mods here are doing a really crap job. This thread should have been closed straight away simply because it replies to itself and attempts to troll. "How is Standard mode" would have been acceptable though.

I was on 8 hours a day 7 days a week with stacked currency to trade for pure breachstones and it still look me the full week to go from level 90 to 100 on my char while searching for pure breach rotas in Standard. More than half the time was spent just trading while waiting for pure breach rota groups to fill. But still fun!
"How dead is Standard mode?" it's called graveyard for a reason lmao.
3.26 when?
Don't abandon us. don't turn your backs on the ones loving poe.
If you have gear and some currency that carry over from previous leagues, standard is a good place to dig to depth 500 or test build on end game boss

The Rmt streamer with a mic and the only ones who have Mirrors are ruining this game. Now ask yourself after 5 years of playing and countless hours , how many Mirrors do you have ever even seen one lol lol demigod has somewhere in the thousands and so do all streamer teamer players with a never ending RMT slider. so to you New players just play this great game dont get caught up in the rmt youtube NUBS who slid their credit card and bought a mic to win all while hording the currency and not putting back into the drop table all while showing you cheap builds online all while they run their trip legacy items no one other then them have or could ever wish to afford but thats just it and where online gaming is going the More on the Credit Card the Greater of a WINNER YOU WILL BE


Totally derailed from the topic onto you having some type of resentment against YouTube and various content creators. Irrelevant. There are many YouTuber's and content creators who have made a following because of the content they provide using POE as a medium.

Back to the topic.

@OP, Standard in itself has it's own economy which is typically more stable (except when the league ends and all the league stuff migrates over and makes the economy bounce for a week or two). Standard is great to see your past league items, sorting your stash, theory crafting new build concepts. Plus it never ends so you can keep building your empire.
