TRADING NEEDS INSTA BUYOUT!

Everytime I play this game (poe1 & 2) I just find the trading system so insufferable that it ultimately makes me quit the game as it ends up making you spend hours trying to buy a single item.

Just either make it an in-game system that allows insta buy-out or allow instant buy-out from the website...

I am trying to buy my first item on POE2 and I already want to quit.

yeah and if GGG thinks it would not create enough friction (aka players hating every minute of it) then limit our insta buyout slot to lets say 25.
I'm still trying to buy the same item i was when i posted this thread... 4 hours later. Whispered over 100+ people no response.
was it a currency item? just use the currency exchange for that
No it is a lvl 30 unique...

Learn how to use the site properly then: Don't try to buy 200 listings of price fixers or people who just put it in a dump tab and can't be arsed wasting time for a 1ex trade when they can make 5ex just continuing the map and get another drop thats worth 10+ ex. Time is money.

If you are on the trade site, click on the part that says "listed X minutes ago" below the price. That will sort by most recent listings and people usually are "there" and willing to sell.

Remember:
1. Time is money
2. Don't cheap out - Rather spend 2 ex and have the Item and not waste time than trying to save 1 ex for 30minutes.

Right, but why not auto buyout?

Because the devs you you trading "face to face". The currency exchange was a huge compromise and surprise.

And yet the whole player base just use macros to automate it anyway.. and they know that.


Trading was the absolute worst part of PoE, it kept me away for years. I'm so sad that it's just been copy pasted into PoE2... I had such high hopes after the currency exchange.

At least do something about all the troll/non sellers clogging up the listings...
Whole game mode created for people who hate trade. It is a rewarding game mode.
Step 1 is to self reflect.
