This is a pure D3 whine which can't be transfered into Poe because of several issues:
-Poe doesn't have gold, and the value isn't even displayed as tooltip.
You can't farm money by just picking up anything with a value over 1-2k and then vend it, like in D3.
True, but whatever currency is demanded for items people will still be able to undercut each other with it and buyers will still have picked some up.
"
-There are a ton of more build combos in Poe which require different stats and gear requirements. D3 only had vitality + your main dmg stat str/dex/int. Stack that and you won.
Doesn't work in Poe fyi.
So? This does not affect trading other than both supply and demand will be greater.
"
-The need to reroll in Poe is much higher than in D3, even in default/soft.
In D3 soft there was no need to ever reroll a char. No skill points, your toon was always open for full reskilling.
The D3 market for low/mid items is close to none, nobody needs any items to reroll a char because once you have one of each class you are done and all the items that drop and are not top of the cream best possible ilvl63, you vendor them, if you even bother picking them up at all.
Same here, affects supply/demand but doesn't change anything about the main complaints against an AH. Ease of use will make people like me, who basically never trade other than if I look for something very specific, be able to find cheap stuff for all my characters that are much better than the stuff I found myself.
"
-The D3 system has its gear heavy point on the prime stats, and combined with the always-open skill design, turns the game into a farming quest for perfection, where only the best possible rolls are wanted. 99% of all found items got ignored/vendored as useless. Not in Poe.
You can't combine any gear stats in D3 like in Poe, there's no diversity, even though Poe still does have the "life is king" issue it's still better on that matter.
Again, the fact that build diversity is better in PoE only makes it easier for the community in whole to supply various items since the demand will actually be there. All those not perfect items posted for scraps on the D3 AH but not selling? What you are saying is that in poE they will also sell.
"
So it's really foolish to compare 2 totally different games and demonize a AH system, just because it ruined D3 by having everyone "play it wallstreet style" to get to the top.
That wouldn't happen in Poe.
I think they can be compared and the fact that the community 'pooling it's resources' with an ease of use system will probably have the same effect it had in D3.
