Floored by the power spike of TRADING. This will ruin the game.

The smugness and hostility to outsiders of this community, geez. It is what it is.

I'm good now that I saw the developers are aware of these issues:

Rogers sums up the problems perfectly and has a solid line of ideas to fix it.

Feel free to continue circle jerking one another, it's disgusting and embarrassing, but you are free to do so.

You did post things like that

"All you have done is kicked and screamed "I LIKE MY TRADE AND I LIKE IT HOW IT IS!" While offering no deeper insights."

and call people smug and hostile is hilarious,you are just a hypocrite.

GGG has no plans at all to reduce trade in the trade league in any way, the only thing they might add in the near future is an instant buyout option for gear.

if you think they work to change trade to your liking in the future you set yourself up for disappointment,and they also don´t need to because they already solved that problem by including the SSF mode, you don´t even understand (or don´t want to understand) what jonathan is talking about in the video.

Who's a smug asshole and who's arguing for what's right for many people is just whoever happens to agree with what they want. Yeah, I've called people out who were behaving like jackasses.

Want a civil discourse? Act civil.

As for them not wanting to impose restrictions on trade, here is John speaking to the exact issues I (and others) presented in this thread, and how a solution to restrict trade is absolutely necessary for the reasons detailed herein the pages of this post:

Wonder what's up with your comprehension. Is it narcissism? Illusions of grandeur? Not sure how you're watching the same video as us and thinking it's agreeing with you whole cloth.

But hey, if that video gives you hope I hope it warms your heart my guy.

I find great validation in that video, I have no idea WTF you're taking away from it, but a hefty gold fee, and a trade ticket are essentially interchangeable and absolutely address the issues raised in this thread that John has detailed in that video.

It's almost one for one the issues raised in this thread, the main one being absolute free trade causing inflation of very good items that reach the lower player bases.

Am I missing something?

What is the point of this thread? If you don't like trading simply play SSF. Where is the problem? No one forces you to play trade league.

yeah what you are missing is that these so called "trade tickets" would only apply to trade with instant buyout

the normal hideout trading isn´t effected by this at all.

but anyways i move on, it looks like you did not play much poe1 at all to understand what the devs are talikng about so it is pointless to continue.

No problem with guilds and close groups of friends trading freely. This thread was targeted at the automated trade website inflating the economy with overpowered items en mass which diluted the reward of playing the game.

I will state again there is absolutely no need to denigrate and name call others, it only leads to a downward spiral and egg on your face.
