Tradesite change to remove people who do not respond to whispers

Is there any way you could add so that items that get a certain number of "clicks/whispers" without changing the position in the stash would get delisted?
This to remove peoples items who do not answer to whispers. Thus removing most of the price-fixers and also removing the hassle of trying to find items that people just arent willing to sell etc.?

Sometimes ppl are busy or afk. If its not a rare i never start at the top of the list. Start a page or 2 down.

Just add AH

Just add instant buyouts

Imagine being muted cause afk to toilet or whatever

Don't even need a AH.

They just need to implement the current trade UI from the site into the game at an npc or whatever. And still have to have both parties online.

When you find the item you want hit the buy button and then seller gets a pop up to sell or decline. So they don't have to leave map or whatever they are doing or join party. That way if you under price you item you don't loose out on currency cause you will still get spammed from buyers.

If seller accepts the trade then it is transferred to you immediately without any interaction.

If the player has already put the item up for sale at a suitable price, then why do you need his confirmation? Let the trading site remain as it is, but add the "buyout" button there, I click - and the cost of the item is immediately deducted from me, and the currency is sent to the seller, the item is sent to me via in-game mail.
I'm already sick of the fact that I whisper five, ten times to different players from whom I want to buy what they sell, but they don't respond. Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour. It was possible to get free in half an hour, wasn't it? But no, they don't answer!

Re: AH

The current system is a necessary evil that keeps the people running bots and price-fixing from completely dominating the system you're suggesting, where you can just click buy on the trade site- engineering a bot that knows how to automatically click "buy" is waaaay easier than making one that understands "buy X if < Y and sell for Y," through the in-game client.

If you're at end-game looking for end-game gear and you find something expert with max tier rolls on it for a price that makes you go "YEAH BABY YEAH," you know before you click whisper one of four things is true.

1: Price fixer.
2: Price-checking and gonna raise price until they stop getting spammed.
3: Accidentally threw it in the wrong stash tab where everything is 1 exalt.
4: End-game holding multiple best-in-slots for their own build players with rarity generate so much loot that they don't care and they're going for quantity over quality- sells everything for 1 exalt unless they'd wear it themselves. My guild outsources this to a single player in the group to amp the loot with multiple players via gravebind (rarity increase is an on-kill stat).

The odds are against you. Send the whisper, keep farming your own loot expecting 1-3, and be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be 4.

I ignore annoying multi whisper ppl, and for other reasons too. So those on my ignore list probably send whispers all the time and think im just not responding.

There are too many cases to be able to know why someone didn't respond to a whisper. Just to name a few:

1. Stepped away for a min, forgot/didn't bother to type /afk
2. In a boss fight, will die if they stop to type
3. Priced it wrong
4. Just logged in, but the market has moved and now they're getting spammed about the item
5. Buyer is asking if they'll take 50% of the listed price - I never respond to this, unless it's an RNG item without a well-known market price that's been up a while

You can't definitively tell whether someone had a legitimate reason for not responding, so auto delisting of the item would be a bad idea.

Automatic buyouts would be the way to go in my opinion, whether still through the trade site or through an npc. This would also remove price-fixing, since anything massively undervalued would just sell.

Yes, you're right, there can be many reasons for this. But why should I, a player who just wants to buy something that someone else is selling, suffer from this?
With almost every purchase. Sometimes I can't buy what I need for several hours. Sometimes I even have to postpone the purchase until tomorrow.
