Just close the trading site bro
It won't affect you

Without trading, this game has a very low chance of dropping rare (needed) items. Without trade, you will get dressed in a month of playing

Yeah right : never was able to trade at any given moment due to market not working on console or whatever , level 90 something right now . Seems a lot of you people were born on WoW shit where all you have to do is ring a friend or keep crying until you get spoonfeed ?

the abusers will rule the trade as they please.

Not abusers, but most of the POE1 market has been ruled forever by the same people. Spread over different accounts but it's roughly the same people. Always has been.
Nothing new and will stay the same unless ggg gets rid of trade-website stuff only.

If you are treating it like a full release than sure it would matter. For me however this is a beta, nothing here matters.

a beta is for mass testing. Making the beta inaccessible 90% of players because .1% abused and manipulated the economy would be a detriment to the data sample.

i dont think the beta is inaccessible to anyone tho in fairness, and nothing significant is really balanced around the economy anyway.


theyre looking at what builds are over performing, under performing, are people who are not trading struggling with the game? most new players and fringe players dont trade at all and they matter. a big trader doesnt matter, theyre gonna play the game for 5k+ hours over 10 years, spend $500 on microtrans and they are always playing some imbalanced bullshit they speed geared using trade. the only time you worry about what those people are doing is if their build is too overpowered.



some stuff got duped and their 80 divine budget for a weapon only got them a 520 pdps weapon instead of a 620 pdps one so they kill a pin boss in 6 seconds instead of 4 seconds because "the economy is ruined". its just so irrelevant to game balance.


what is the guy whos playing his first arpg struggling with in act3? has the game provided him the tools he needs to have fun and progress? thats the meaningful questions.

They need to get a batter SSF mode like Lasth Epoch.

and yet somehow people are doing the hardest content on SSF(and ssfhc too)

"rares dont drop often"

yes, you need to make your rares, starting by id'ing potential blue bases

it is totally fine to do white tier maps and make those items

GGG needs to remove and rethink the atlas point "storyline"

right now it makes noobs rush into content they cannot handle

and beacuse they are noobs they just whine on forums instead of doing 100 maps of lower level
