Auction house, good compromise, PETITION
" Why are you such a pessimist? :) There is no problem not to solve. You know how to look trade now. There is no comunity. There is automaticly created message by poetrade and then your poelurker automatycly respond t4t. Ther's no community apart form TFT. There is bots and pain only. I start thinking that you have to suffer cuz that is the main porpuse of the game. We are exiles after all, are we not? | |
" The reality of PoE is that there are two types of players in the same game... - Trading players - Non-trading players GGG does not want trading to be mandatory. Currently, both types of players can generally play without the game being too hard or too easy. There are outliers mainly in the top-1%, but by and large the system works. Now, imagine easy trade was implemented, where you could easily get any item you wanted for a pittance (PoE drops SO much loot any trade system would be full of good cheap items etc.)... If that happened, the game would immediately become a cake-walk for trading players. You could outfit to close-to-BiS for little currency. How could GGG maintain the game so trading wasn't mandatory, but still not be too easy or hard? The answer is that they wouldn't be able to... If they adjusted it to get harder for the trading players, it would be too hard for non-trading, and vice-versa. Essentially you'd then be in the same situation as D3 before they closed their auction house... You HAD to trade to be able to play, and finding stuff meant nothing. They lost players, massive amounts of them, and then removed the AH because the easy access to items was the root of their problem. That is the balance that need to be maintained, that trading and non-trading players can both play the game without it being too hard or easy. |

" Non trading players > ssf | |
" Realist, not pessimist... :-) |

" You cant know that. Most bis items are crafted and they never become less expensive cuz of Ah. I think they will be even more expensive cuz more ppl will have oportunity to buy it. Market will balans it self. Most of drop items are garbage. Uber filters ever turn off all rare staff if it's not good base to craft. So dont worry. There's is solution. Cut off SSF from normal legue pernamently and give ssf players better drop. Game should be funny for everyone not painfull. | |
" Bots are a thing anywhere. You want to punish players because of bots? |

If this is the petition thread I am signing it. How the hell do you trade while doing delve, or doing the heist stuff? Maps you just hit portal, other content? You don't trade. Absolutely garbage can trade system. Absolutely garbage can.
Did yall know that the Redditors have a secret trading discord that is elite and exclusive? Have to get approved to use it. GGG has to have the absolute worst trading I have ever seen in any video game ever. Bottom of the barrel. Even EvE online isn't as scummy and trashy as this system. |
|
" You have got the point. When you are trading you have to be fast cuz everyone is buisy and want to finish trade as fast as it's possible. When you are serching to long something, ppl just quit party wasting your both time. Atm we have 18 signs but i dont lose hope. I'm sure that many of us just think that "it doesynt change anything" but are we sure about that? Maybe they suprise us? | |

All valid points, I'm wondering why this topic is such a tabu?
Wouldnt be awesome to test such a solution on the short league like flashback? ( Do the flashback with the ultimate league and introduce breaking game changes and no one even notices that :D ) Overall I sometimes feel like this game is designed for casual players which play at least 10h a day, whereas I believe the majority of the games spend like max of 15-25 h per week. |

" It's not taboo at all, it's been brought up every week since the game left closed beta hence people don't really bother discussing it anymore since everything that can be said about it has already been said thousands of times over. With regards to testing it out on a short league, it's quite a major feature that would require a fair bit of development time. You don't just implement things like that just to see how it feels. It's absolutely not worth coding it unless they are dead set on having it in game. Last edited by Randall#0850 on May 31, 2022, 10:35:37 AM
