Action house < Player owned shop

If there is plans to implement an action house I would much rather have a player owned shop instead.

I think a player owned shop in our hideout would be a better fit for PoE since it would put more focus on player interaction. Instead of whispering a player through the trading website you could teleport to their hideout instead and highlight the item in thier shop.

I will be a much easier feature to implement compared to a action house (I think). The game have most of the required technology already (town instancing, shops, trade, trading website).


What do you think? Maybe this isn't a new idea.

That just seems like an unnecessarily convoluted auction house at this point, also with lots of extra instances and server strain

I remember some old MMO I played had those kinds of player shops, that could probably work and people can just join your hideout after inviting them, they click your shop and pay the currency for the item. This also makes all trade scams impossible to do, because the trading is automated. It also means you don't have to interrupt your own gameplay to trade(and situations where you're in ultimatum/sanctum but a trade pops up won't arise either since the shop is in hideout). It's a win-win for both buyers and sellers. So many people just don't accept a trade whisper because "oh im farming x content right now and my time is valued at x divines per hour, this 3 exalt trade isn't worth my time". Automated trading fixes literally all of the problems the trade site has atm

Also I like player housing stuff a lot so any excuse to build a fancy shop in my hideout sounds really fun to me lol

Or you know, just add a WoW-style auction house and call it a day. Same effect.

irrelevant? i mean you make a premium tab public and list an exact price on an item ppl see it through various sites and can buy from you, you invite them from their /w and they come to ur h/o and buy it, do you expect ppl to have like a list of every persons h/o in the game and go look for this storefront and brows items like that? would t ake forever. also any AH would ruin the game.

Anything is better than the current ****show.

No I meant that you would still go through the trading website and instead of whispering you would teleport to h/o instead.

so you want the ability to trade with /buy/sell stuff while afk/game is clsoed? hmm im not super opposed to that tbh

Just keep the website already.

The only thing they should change:

- When there is a buyout price on the website, if you click buy - the item is removed from one stash and placed into another. That's it.

They can even add a brand new type of stash tabs, which are used for these automated item retrieval, whatever.

I will even pay for these special stash tabs just to not have to deal with whispers and waiting, and then manually unstacking those currencies - it is so god damn annoying.


This way there will be no added load onto infrastructure, because items will be stored in players stash tabs - there will be no need to implement additional storage, which would be required for AH functionality.

Everquest had this when Shadows of Luclin came out way back when, it was actually a pretty great system BUT there was a "market row" where people would park their characters to stand as shop stalls, essentially, so everyone was in roughly one place. You could even just log off and your character would remain to trade so you didn't need to leave the client up, I believe? Been a while.

I have thought about this the entire time I've played POE2; to your point that level of automation takes absolutely nothing away from the already bot-dominated trades.
