Agree, Auction House is really needed. With this we should have finished problems with scammers, fixing prices, trolls on poe trade with lowered price items and do not answring, stop waste time for search players who can answer you etc.	Posted by Margus#4419 on Dec 20, 2024, 10:45:18 AM Quote this Post
The official trade website already integrates with the game so there is no reason why they can't just let you buy an item directly from there. Replace the 'Direct Whisper' button with a 'Buyout'. It would be a massive QOL boost and remove fake listings.	Posted by Vertal0#7574 on Dec 20, 2024, 11:22:31 AM Quote this Post
What I'd like to see is to make the trade window unchangable when both people accept. Last night some guy tried to scam me by taking the item out as the timer was counting down... THIS SHOULD NOT BE A THING CCC! I luckily took out my item in time... guy tried trading again, did the same exact thing... where I just left... we also need a way to report such people, give them negative rep or some shit.

+1 the chris vision on trade pvp is awful and not should be how the game is designed around	Posted by rakis#1015 on Dec 23, 2024, 7:31:19 AM Quote this Post
+1 Trade is already convoluted and inconvenient, but (unintentionally) this system incentivizes "lazy" traders that make the already existing (and obvious) trade issues worse. By this, I mean people are incentivized to let others price-check items for them, instead of doing the price research themselves. They just dump all their items in a 1 (or 2, 3, 5, etc.) exalted tab and then move the item into a higher tab if they get messaged quickly (probably even if it's only one person). This just slows everyone down and makes trade way more clunky than it already is.	Posted by luck_my_fife#6854 on Dec 23, 2024, 11:01:09 AM Quote this Post
" Sargoth_CZ#3391 wrote: Auction house was for a long time rejected in PoE 1 with the reason "We want trade to be limited" .. After many years, we finally have a controlled/limited way of trading currency by design, not by annoying players. Please consider this for items as well. Current experience of trading is already the same as PoE 1. Price fixers, scammers, bots. It's toxic, it's horrible. It ruins the game. By all means limit it if you want, adjust as necessary. But please do something about it. Ideas: + An NPC set in hideout where you list your items and others can come and buy it off the vendor. Website item found will have a link to teleport you to that hideout. You can set a limit of how many items the NPC can be selling at one point or put a gold cost to it. + A unique code linked to website item that you enter ingame and buy the item. Again, can be limited (or not) by gold/space/time. Thank you.

" Trading is full of scammers, price fixers and bots. Awful system. That's the very essence of trade though. Cut the entertainment out of your video game and open it up to value, even real world value, and to those would abuse you over it. Isn't it wonderful?
