POE Trade completely out of control

So, i am a long time player of POE 1, and i frequently use the trade website to get some stuff to make life a bit easier during a season.

This is sadly not a valid possibility fpr POE 2 it seems. I dont know who those players are, and what their idea is, but especially weapons are offered (im pretty sure not sold) for astronomical prices.
And i am not talking about superpowered endgame weapons. No. I am talking about random leveling items around lvl 40 to 50.
Hundreds of exalted for a bow, sometimes even thousands. Guys. We all have the same drops. Where exactly should a player that is currently not even in the maps get those exalted from?
You know people can only use currency that is actually floating in the market right? Im getting closer to level 55 and alltogether i maybe have found 40 to 50 exalted.
This is now WOW. There is no endless influx of currency. People can only use the currency they have, so be reasonable.
If you drive prices up like that, people will charge you the same amount of exalted for things you might be looking for. And then the economy is dead before the game even came out.

It is supply and demand, basic economics.

They recently increased currency drops, so it caused an inflation on item prices. But increasing exalted drops also made people, use them more to just slam it on rares thus increasing demand. If you can't find a decent rare item at 50-60 level, you should broaden your search parameters. Searching for something very specific will give you no results or expensive items.
Prices are out off control, i dont accept to pay 1 exa for an level 1 support gem.

You might not accept to pay it, but other people do, which in turn gives others still the capacity to pay many exalts for level 40-50 weapons.

Which is why SSF is so good and trading is so bad.
If you need an Uber weapon to rush certain content you'll need to pay Uber prices.

I've had no problem limiting my spend to 1ex and buying the best weapon available for my level, it's enough to get me over whatever hump I'm currently experiencing.
Holy hell you found 40 to 50 exalts up to level 55???

I have found +-10 and my character is level 60...
its hard to say, if something is well priced or totally overpriced

example


Warstaff lvl 55

280 phys DPS
20% Attack speed.

The price range is going from 1ex - 6ex, when u are quick with live search.
If not. than it will cost 6-10 ex


But when u got %life gain on the weapon, the cost goes up to

12-20ex

I think at lvl 55, its possible to got 1-5 ex orbs. If u are carfull on what u are spending ur currency. Just upgrade very good bases like Rings or Amulet or maybe a 2 Resistance, Life belt.
Dont slam Ex items, only to get them full. Armour is the most switched gear in the leveling process. So not worth to slam for 6 mod items.

Weapons are need the upgrades for Melee characters. There u should spend ur money on. In the early stages - Dmg is king.

Maps und need more and more defenses

Well, Advanced Dual String Bows go for 300 to 1000 Exalt.
