Bad trading system is literally in the mission statement

I mean, coming from a Diablo background having never played POE till last weekend, this trading system is way better than Diablo 2, non existent now in 3 and even worse in 4. So no complaints from me.

I don't have any problems with it really. Maybe implement the website itself into the game but it works fine I think. I'd rather have this than the economy being ruined by bots like every other game with a action house.

If you think a poor trading system will limit bots, I'd like to introduce you to Diablo 2 Resurrected.

Yep, no trend here of private troll accounts and people who have barely supported the game. This is definitely not a common thread on 99% of the posts polluting this board. Don't clean it up though, it definitely doesn't make people who actually want to learn or discuss the game turned off by the level of intentional nonsense allowed.

Most players of PoE 2 never played Path of Exile.

Adding auction house to this game would bring new problems.
Price fixin would become hugh problem and yes I know its also happening with current system but it would get even worse.

Personally I just want to be able to trade in game.

Auction house encourages people to underbid each other.
Very hard to price fix in a healthy auction house economy.

Thanks for posting the link, I had not seen this.

The logic is comically backwards. "Easy trade increases inequality because only the elites trade". Yeah, only the elites trade because trading sucks. If trading didn't suck, more people would trade.

It's like, imagine if GGG nerfed every character's damage by 50%. But then you can choose to get punched really hard to get your original damage back for an hour. Would that be good game design? Of course not.

That is what trading in this game is. You either have crappy damage or engage in an unfun activity. Great choices!

It's only "bad" if you genuinely do not understand. And just because you don't understand won't stop it being a net negative for the game, and spoiling it for the rest of us.

No thanks. If you want an Auction House, there are plenty of MMOs for you to enjoy.

And this shows how little those who want this really understand.

When I (and most people) talk about an auction house, that includes "buy it now" functionality.
