Trading... there needs to be a more fluid way...

I've played a lot of POE, PO2 and the market is a shamble and annoying! For example:

1. Whenever I am in a dungeon, I have to drop everything and TP to my base just to find the item and trade to that person. This is fustrating!

2. You are in a boss fight and you have someone asking to buy your 20 - 40 chaos or more valuble items, do you have to die or quit the fight just to trade? Get what I am saying?

3. Too many people using the market to set prices and get no replies for trading! Seriously! I am having to scroll down and keep looking and whsipering to try and get an item I need!

All in all, I tried trading in POE 1, it was annoying and the person complained that I was too slow!

To solve this problem, Last Epoch has already solve this issue with their trading system. Please look!! All I have to do is place an item into the market and forget! The system will list the item on market and I don't have to TP back and forward or try to look into my stash... see? No hassle, no arguments and people calling you slow or worthless trader.

Please! In POE 2, you need to improve the trading system or overhaul the entire trading mechanic. For me and many other people, I am now tired and annoyed with the trading in POE 1 and 2. Please sort it out!

Give us peace and let us have fun! I want to trade items too. But with all the hassle, I haven't traded anything. Only buy! It's one sided...

If this game does not improve trading and makes it friendlier for users to trade, then I don't know what else to say.

Right now, there are loads of problems. I get it... but, I want to see trading done right without hassle. It's quite simple! By storing items and it get sent to their box / stash with tax deducted. Instead of having to drop everything and TP back to trade one item or rush to find the items for the player...also, getting griefed by players for being slow or trade the wrong item by mistake!!

Seriously, I am really losing hope for this game...

Totally agree. Trading needs this fix. It`s concerning that they haven`t thought of that from the beginning. (I mean, if LE did it right, it means it`s not that hard to be implemented)

This is one of many other aspects that need improving (like crafting). But that`s a topic for another post :D

FYI: GGG has clearly said that IF they make trading easier they will ALSO nerf loot, perhaps substantially, to compensate.

I don't like the position but GGG, at least in the past, was very clear that the game is currently balanced around how much friction (I.E. annoying) trade currently has ... less annoying trade == nerf to loot.

If GGG states that, then it's a very poor excuse! They only need items to be sent from stash to stash when someone buys it.

Seriously, they made it sound very lazy, as IF they don't want to do it!

This is laughable as all hell, considering some drop rates to begin with ... lol. Seriously. This company sometimes.

They're attempting to dictate the market right out the gate, instead of just creating a fun game, and letting the players set their own market.

Cant have fun in wraeclast.

Actually, this is a sensitive topic, because, if you get gear easy via Market, then you won`t be incentivized to make your own crafting anymore.

So there should be some limitation on what you can sell/buy from there. Maybe high lvl gear should not be permitted.

In any case, trading should still be easy. Just have a buy button, regardless if seller is online or not.

Sensitive topic? Seriously?

The only thing that needs to be is allow players to sell and not drop everything they are doing and come back just to go thorugh piles of items and trade to that one person. On top of that, my friends who trades... having to use controller for being called slow. Heck, I even tried trading and my fear is me being reported falsely? Happened in Diablo 4 just because the buyer doesn't like the item and made false claim just to get me into trouble!

Second nerf loot just to make trading easier? That is truly laughable.

Wow!

Finally, all I’m asking for is a trading system that respects players’ time and doesn’t punish us for trying to engage with it. Trading shouldn’t be a stressful mini-game. Instead, it should be a seamless - supportive feature.

Let us play the game, not babysit whispers or risk reports. Please rethink how trade is handled in PoE2. It’s time to move forward and make it better!

Less hassle. No dropping things and what you do. No one sided trade. Encourage new players to trade and make it fun!
