Asynchronous Trade FAQ

Shoot, didn't see this before writing my essay lol

That's kinda what I thought, and that's what makes the most sense.

In POE1 it's a permanent unlock in Act 6, and I assumed that the Alva NPC was a placeholder for a different NPC once you reach Kingsmarch or something.

Huge W overall, but I'm quite confused by having to price each item individually because of the impossibility of set tab buyout. In fact, it will lessen the cheapest items available because who will be likely to set 1 ex on a bunch of items one by one.

For example, past week one, no one is keen to sell a 1ex Unique with the traditionnal trade.

But if you can't dump it in merchant tab with 1ex tab-buyout, you wont ever list it manually either, because the time for the process to do so isn't worth an 1ex.

By a matter of fact, it should lessen the availability of some of most common Uniques or leveling rare for example.

That's probably GGG's goal. If everyone just dumps all their cheap items in 1ex tabs, it would just devalue every common item to worthless. The way they've implemented it, an item is always going to be at least worth the time it takes to set a price.

This point is valid, but I see an other issue:

- what if I want to price-cascade my items day by day with 10% less ? (like we do in PoE1 for the majority of vets). I will never reprice each items in each time one by one every day.

Pricing a whole tab is what most would prefer. However we can't have that and also have drops that are worth something. It will be too easy to sell stuff if we can just Ctrl+click them into tabs for instant buyout which will tank the price of everything.

Can you set a buyout price for a whole Merchant's Tab of items, like you can with Premium Stash Tabs?
No, you have to individually price each item. The interface does auto-fill with your last price however.

This is the only weird thing about new trade and I have no idea why you did it like this. Can you explain?

in-game browser trading regardless of buyer/seller party online/offline mode.

THIS is INSANE N FILTHY.

I don't play many/wide variety of games and have stop-gap years throughout teenager/adulthood.

Is this a new frontal of revolutionary game development, pushing the boundary as pioneer or ado bit nothing?

WOW OMG

See ya never !!! Buy pricer 😘

TL;DR
Good thing it's an optional layer to interact with, complete with its' own cost/benefit analysis. Should be an interesting league.

The more I hear about this new system the more I grow disdain for it. The market should be integrated into your stash. And buying/selling should be instant once you click on the site, not some weird FOMO shizz. Your stash tabs used to be multipurpose. Now your market tabs are LIMITED USE ONLY.
Before you could have hella tabs and they were great for playing trade or ssf. Now you have to choose.
Before you could bulk-price a tab and drop prices to find the selling point. This supported the market for Levelling-gear, especially during Campaign. Newbie Accounts don't have much crafting currency or Gold to spare during Campaign and this only makes it harder for them. (Don't tell me campaign is piss easy, that's not the point.) Now people will be incentivized to only sell the best items and at a premium price.
Sure they don't have to interrupt gameplay to complete a trade or deal w/ scammers, lowballers, or people who generally seem like they don't know what they're doing. But they're really discouraged from selling those items if they have to list everything one-by-one (even w/ price auto-fill) and buy MORE tabs because Market Tabs have such limited functionality.
I understand why they wanted (NEEDED) to figure out a way to keep some form of trading friction, but this execution doesn't seem like it's gonna work out well. Sellers don't pay to list, so flipping won't really see a nerf. It'll be easy to bot the purchase, for example. (ofc that's not the only reason for friction). Not that I personally would like to be charged for every listing, but at least it would incentivize pricing items to SELL so you don't have to pay to re-list it for cheaper later. But then you don't want to list something that may never sell no matter the price, which limits what people are willing to list at all. It's tough. Everything has a trade-off. I get it. I just...
This system should have (some form of) Stash integration and be instant buyout. You buy it and it goes into a remove-only tab in your stash/market. You shouldn't have to buy special limited-capability tabs like this. You shouldn't have a button that says Secure Item on the trade site that merely TPs you to their Hideout w/ their Market already open for you w/ item highlighted.

At this point I'm not even sure I want to interact w/ Async trade, even as a buyer. I'm just disgusted. I remember making my first purchase in the first league and then my first handful of sales. I still get butterflies when buying certain items (I might be a bit inebriated under those conditions). Or when people decide to tip/overpay on a very affordably-priced listing (a behavior I try to replicate when I can afford to as well). I don't imagine Async/Market is going to be as magical an experience. (Though I do understand the Player-to-Player Trade isn't going away either.)
Is it frustrating to need gear and not be able to find it on the (Online) Trade listings or in an affordable manner? Ofc, but you are not entitled to anyone else's inventory. So seeing offline listings or unaffordable listings doesn't PAIN me. It might not be what I want to happen; but getting everything you want isn't always what makes you happy in the long run, either. Idk. Idk. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I have been back and forth on whether to convert a tab (or two or...), and with the FAQ announcing the price maybe just buying a tab or two. But maybe I'll just play SSF this league and not have to think about any of it.

Maybe we didn't need better trade; just better crafting. I don't think this tiered currency is going to be a good solution either. I think currency drops should have just been curved a bit so Campaign isn't so hungry for low-tier currencies like Trans/Aug, Regal, and Exalt. (Like they should be able to craft a bit and still comfortably have *about* a full stack in their stash. Trans by end of Act1, Aug Act2, Regal Act4, Exalt Act5/6-ish.) And then they need to kinda curve/drop off a bit from the loot-pool when you hit endgame but start dropping in small stacks themselves. Less spam drops; more meaningful loot. So instead of ignoring those single drops of low-tier currencies you actually WANT to pick-up that small stack of low-tier currency because it matters (though you still won't necessarily feel TIGHT for low-tier currency unless you do a TON of crafting and then spec'ing your Atlas into Strongboxes should comfortably bridge that gap).
Idk.

I'm excited to try the new league. But with much trepidation, that I didn't have for DotH.

kinda lame...if i knew u cant do quad stash i wouldnt have bought so many lol

i don't mind pricing things one-by-one. 99% of the time, the drops are sheit anyways, so I won't have much to sell.

I only have Premium Quad stash......

1. please make quad tabs available, we bought them only to sell things. yeah we can use the old system, but who wants this?!

2. please make tab pricing available, it saves so much time, i love the new system, thank you for that, but set the price one by one is too much in mapping...

3. mouse keyboard / controller hotswap PLEASE
