Auction house, good compromise, PETITION

I signed the petition.

I agree that I don't want 90% of my in-game experience to be about using a third-party app to trade........ I want to actually enjoy the content or graphic of the game or learn more about the game.

PoE suffers greatly from a lack of competition.

At some point a game will come out that learns from what PoE does well, and fixes what it does not.

It wont have players sending 40 messages for a single trade late in the league, I can guarantee that.


Until then, GGG has little reason to listen to players.

I do not know how you guys, but, personally, I am very tired of the thought that another league means more hours lost in trading. Creators don't respect our time. It pise me off

the game doesn't want you to trade your items cause it prevents other players to feel gratified by finding /crafting it themselves.

the option to theoretically being able to sell your items only serves the purpose to give it some value for you personally (aka: "i could probably sell this for x chaos"), while the huge database of ggg's trading platform is full of those items that don't sell:

there is no demand for 99% of the items that drop for you, a auction house wouldn't change that.

and since a ingame auction house would charge you a fee, i think you would realise that the old system where you placed an item so it gets ignored by many has been the much better choice.

---

a auction house would make sense for high valued items or if ggg anonymously would take part in the auctions to artificially simulate demand.

thing is, the latter would be a bandaid to fix for overly raised player expectations and the former already works just fine with the current trade: i never waited more than 10 seconds to buy an item for more than 1 div.

Were that the case, GGG would've actually done something about improving the quality of drops to actually feel gratifying. And crafting? There is no crafting, only gambling. Harvest was the only real, actual crafting this game had, but they gutted it into yet another gambling mechanic.

They won't ever improve quality of item drops, otherwise they would've done so this league when they stealth-nerfed drop quantity without telling anyone.

In all my years of playing, I've not once found a single rare drop that I could personally use. And I sure as hell don't generate nearly enough currency to pump into the game's slot machine they call "crafting". This means that the only way I've ever been able to progress my build has been through trading. And they want to make it harder for bullshit reasons?

we dont need a auctionhouse, waste of time to try to argue that you need it. You choose Easymode anyways with tradememe and still want it easier

GGG

Just make mode with AH like hardcore, ssf etc. But its voided.

In that way u can test AH.
