Better Trading - The Vendor System

I dislike the concept, as it is just another way to try to undermine the current system and its limitations which are actually useful.

People never seem to get it: The more you enable trading the less worth your items get, as 90% of tradeable stuff is actually not too uncommon. Profit margins will drop further, and in regards to your first point: if you don't want to make money through hideout warrior mode then don't do it? You set your own rules on that. I personally upgrade my saletabs based on the current ex price. Ex price early league 1/60? Sure, I do 5c trades. Ex price gowing up to 1/105? Not leaving a map for less than 15 or 20c. Im fully established into endgame? Not moving unless it's for at least 1ex.

With a system like that you are just trying to introduce another layer of "make it easy" while destroying opportunities. And I don't even touched the bot-problem. Make it easier for those as well and there is literally no market for your consumables anymore, good job.

Yes, it is still current.

The main reason for the trade system being as it is is to limit trade! That means that any suggestion (like yours) that would make it easier to trade, and so increase the amount of items traded, are not going to be viable.

There's many ways to tweak this. Thoughts?

There could be a dropdownmenue where you can select to which nationalities you don´t want to sell to.

Then to limit it to the perfect state just remove trade mode - SSF only. No scammers, no bots, no hideout warriors. Profit.

Anyone who says no better trading either via AH or NPC, etc, is just gate keeping.

You spend 12 hours day in your hideout so everyone else has too as well.
You stay up 48 hours at league start, complete your atlas and get a headhunter talking with your chat on stream and lurking TFT discord with live trading enabled on 3 different trading sites. Everyone else should have to do the same because that's what you had to do.
I made a mirror the hard way through countless hours of grinding and private trading so you have too as well.

It's all gate keeping.

Saying that prices will crash is just an excuse. It will only accelerate people's journeys into the endgame you can just see prices are in Standard to get an idea. The market still exists, things are just cheaper and there's nothing wrong with that.

If GGG or people think people will quit the league sooner then maybe there's a fundamental flaw in PoE's endgame. I know for me, having access to an AH/Vendor would let me want to try new builds or new ideas cause I know I don't have to spend countless hours that I don't have to do them.
