In principle its this way because friction is needed to prevent trade from ruining and devaluing the relative wealth and progress from playing the game. Inconvenience especially as a buyer is the whole point.
In practice its this way because websites are the best and simplest method for delivering large and complex online search databases. It's why we have Amazon.com not Amazon.exe, as it would be an absolute nightmare to have to update some client-side software every time an adjustment or change needed to be made to the search function. That's not even getting into an actual AH and handling automated item transfers.
china has automated item transfers.. and your example with amazon.exe does not work.
first amazon needs people to be able to use their website from a phone, tablet or pc so no software download, it ads extra steps to something people wanna use
same thing poe does with trading auction house/listing, extra unneeded steps
if you wanna do the amazon.exe example, that that would be amazon.exe = path of exile trading website
amazon com = ingame trading AH

why do we need a website to trade items???
tab out of game open pathofexile com, than go search for shit there, than go back into game and trade O_o
Why on earth is there no market UI/Menu option ingame where you can look for the items. it is almost 2025 and other games can do it just fine
i don't get why this whole using website to trade is still a thing its ridiculous
if you/GGG want to avoid to add it because premium stash tabs are a nessessary or wanted income, here is a solution to that
make it purchaseble to buy more auction slots, so you can have 5 items on the market at the same time instead of 3, or 10 instead of 5, this will give you an income like you do with premium tabs
Auction house/trade market please. it is needed, using a website takes you out of the game and out of the fun, it makes it alot more tedious than it already is
For the love of Atziri give us an ingame trade market, even maplestory can do it, they got Maple auction, lost ark supposedly have it, i believe diablo 3 has it
And people who is gonna comment, than go play those games, I will not. and that is not a solution
only a few people actually come to the forum and post stuff, the majority do not and i have a feeling more people would love a market ingame than people who prefer the website
┐(゚ ~゚ )┌
You don't need to use the website to trade, its just far more efficient. No auction. This isn't world of warcraft
in a loot based game, where RNG plays a big role in your gear, you do need trading. some people will end up Not being able to progress, simply because RNG refuse them to get anything
a game like this NEEDS trading, if you wanna remove trading. they would have to buff a ton of item stats, remove the lowest rolls, higher currency drop and so on, so unlucky people arent working when they get home and want to kill a few mobs and progress.

This is a video game sir, the point of keeping things inefficent is to keep value up for those who do spend the extra time. Keep inflation down.

Where did I say remove trade? Can you at least read what is posted before responding, otherwise we're going no where. I said you do not NEEd to use the WEBSITE to trade, there is a trade channel, but guess what - the website ends up being more EFFICIENT.
Play SSF if you don't like trading, if you do use one of the 2 options available to you with a 3rd being trade discords.
Step 1 is to self reflect.

i thought you where joking when you mentioned the trade channel, as that is a spam fest its a joke
why am i forced to pick my poison, website, SSF or discord, all 3 shouldnt be nessessary
SSF, hmm pretty much what i am doing, but you know what i aint finding anything that can help me, it would help immensely if i could actually trade easier, the website existing is a band aid, not a solution. discord is a player made band aid on a problem GGG made, those are not the answer to the problem that is the website

Oh ok so you're saying there is no way to trade yet given 3 options you want a nother. So really youre just complaining. Got it.
world of warcraft has a new patch i heard? the auction house is awesome there you can compete with millions of bots :)

Started trading today. Sold some item ok, but you have to pay attention or you miss the whisper. Also, the last guy somehow whispered me but was offline when I replied immediately.
I dunno why my exactly priced items can't just be bought and the cost put in the trading tab for me. Or some kind of remove only mailbox tab.

I find the lack of in-game trade mechanics in PoE 2 disturbing.
Diablo III had a decent in-game trade mechanic at the start. Last Epoch has a merchant guild system for trading. Telling me I have to go to a website to sort out stuff is weird.

are you willingly trying to change the topic??, what i want is trading to be done INGAME not alt tab out game find shit PM alt tab back in wait ok he dont answer after an hour
alt tab out again find another PM alt tab back in wait. its a stupid system that should never have been made
Frig warcraft i aint playing that game and not gonna do that either, you are not coming with a solution to the problem that is having to go in and out of the game to do some trading

you have trade in game, but you don't like it. Most people didn't, hence the website! Hello?!
