This game needs desperately a marketplace

It's been 10 years since the game got released, I think it's time we let go the whisp mechanic and embrace the option of just being able to go talking to a NPC, search what we need and get it from another player instead of having to whisp and hope we either don't find an idiot that refuses to answer because yes, the TFT issue it's an example, someone had a lot of good items that simply where there only to show, not for sale, or an AFK, being said, if it's AFK, it's simply bad luck, not gonna blame anyone for that.

There are some currencies that are almost impossible to buy because more than half of the list falls into either of those 2 categories.

Auction house/ market place would kill the economy so no

¿How would kill it exactly? The only difference between the marketplace and now it's that instead of having to ask 700 players you would be able to do the transaction in-situ.

It would be exactly what we have now, you put the product, put the price, expect someone to buy it. The only difference would be not having to whisp everybody every 20 seconds.

Also, the excuse of "Would kill the economy" it's begging you to stop using her, every freaking time it happens something that affects currency you rise it like if it was a banner.

Disagree for multiple reasons that have been stated over and over again. What is the point of making a new thread for the millionth time?

Also consider this, if automatic trading becomes a thing, you won't even be able to buy any currency because without trade fiction some players buy it all up in one sweep and you will be left with nothing. Probably you have not thought about that as most people do who just copy paste each other on this issue.

So you're saying that what lives in PoE it's a bunch of assholes that would basically blew up the market just because "Look, I can do it"? Because mate, buying gold it's something that happens on every game that has comerce on it, and I still haven't seen a single one with players capable of buying THE ENTIRE SUPPLY OF SOMETHING and being able to keep it on 0 forever neither would they do that, it would be stupid to waste your resources only to bother the rest of the players.

The issue has an easy fix, 1 month league with the marketplace enabled, if it works, gets applied to the game in general, if it goes boum, nothing changes.

There's also the chance that if you're all so reticent to add the marketplace maybe it's because you're the ones that put things on the market but don't answer, being also the reason why this post and the other million exist.

marketplace exists in the Chinese poe client. it's great and you can even buyout items offline. you can't search and filter though you have to scroll through pages of crap.

My goto armchair dev solution is that whenever a player doesn't sell an item it gets unlisted from trade so others don't keep whispering that player to get disappointed.

One perso Online but afk or flooded with requests can literally ruin trade for a lot of others.

The real answer is an auctuon house.

That's the thing, if people answered there would be no issue, but there are some currencys that are impossible to buy because people refuses to answer, that's why the game needs the marketplace, due to all these ***** that put something to sell only to show it to people while they rise the middle finger.

Being able to put out buy/sell orders so you can buy/sell mapping supplies and basic currency in bulk would not kill the economy

Just look at Last Epoch. They added it and people thought it would be the greatest thing ever. It has been nothing but a disaster with exploits, rampant inflation and all in all a terrible experience for people deciding to play with market instead of self found.

The truth is that even though there are some issues with the current PoE trading it is by far the lesser evil of all trade systems seen in ARPGs to date. Some players will always try to cheat/exploit/scam eachother and giving them a frictionless system to do so will just wreck the game. About all issues with the current PoE trading system is created by the mentioned people. The only way to escape them is pure solo self found and no trade allowed or all top gear being bind on pickup. Both solutions are worse. Sure, experimenting with low currency trade systems could be interesting but the line has to be drawn at a very low point or people will keep asking for more without seeing the consequences.
