Auction house Yes/No?

Totaly agree,trade chat is spam chat,ppl have no idea about item and gear and just spam some gear what even vendor dont want to buy, so if you plan to sell some quality gear you must reserve few hours to spam chat as other and pray to buyer saw yours offer.
Vote Yes

This is the n-th thread on AH.

I vote yes. Of cours not real money AH, since i do not want POE to become a Pay to Win game.

But with the actual trade system (forum + trade chat mess ingame) POE is a Spam to Win game. Even the noticeboard of act 3M has become a trade board, rather than a 'let's fight' board.

More than a AH i vote for a system where you do not have to spam to sell your object.

I think a good compromise would be an AH where you cannot communicate (just post items and accept bids) and if you place an item then you CANNNOT retrieve it, you MUST sell in a certain time. A NPC would provide to give a 'basic' bid to start with.

EDIT:
I also make this consideration. I have played POE mostly solo with a Mara character. Up to level 60-65 i had very bad gear, and i would have buyed even for a couple of Chaos or a GCP some medium/low level gear, if i did not have to spent time to find them in the chat/forum mess or spent time to contract, bid, add to friend, go to act 1 n, etc.... In chat or forum either you have to sell very high quality items/uniques or it is a waste of time.
This is the reason i want an aH (or a better trading system)

No, seriously we dont that in this game.

No to auction house yes to something that makes the trading easy. like a mailbox to Cod like in wow. sometimes i find my self buying something from a player in the US thats playing while i sleep. can take several days until we can be online at the same time. auction house would just inflate the economy 100 times more then it is already doing.

Auction Houses dont ruin economies, its when this


becomes a business that an economy gets ruin'd
everyone blames easy trading which is not the issue, the issue is that people with high demand + high paying jobs enjoy games in what little spare time they have and this causes them to spend some of that hard earned money to get to a level where the game becomes enjoyable to them. Bottom-line is Real money trading is part of ARPG games and there is no way to stop it completely. the RMAH was blizzard's attempt to try and build around this(it failed due to bots) the only solution to this problem is to find a way to sustain a fair economy that embraces the real money trade.(Lord knows how anyone would pull that off though)

It's a F2P non-P2W PvE game. Anyone who deals with RMT, are idiots. You only cheat yourself.

There is a lot of poverty in many Asian countries (and the rest of the world), if people can find jobs exploiting online games and western stupidity, I prefer that to them starving.

Yes, I'm a socialist. Problem?

[edit] My real concern with RMT's is that the money isn't going to GGG.

Yes and big YES!

If you use trade chat or forum, you know u want to trade.

The trade system here suck bad. Need to have some better.

I don't care Ah or auto shop or a hub trade

Honestly, whether or not I'll continue to play this game long term will hinge on if they implement a better way to trade or sell. Diablo 3's AH ruined the game not because they included an AH, but because they built the entire game around the AH. Loot distribution is so bad, you have no choice but to play the game FOR the AH. The entire goal of the game is to collect as many items as possible to put in the AH so that you can get $ to buy items, so you can finally get past the next level.

POE is designed *completely* differently. Right now, buying and trading is absolutely ridiculous and a painful experience. You have hundreds of people spamming paragraphs of items in a window. You can't even click on an item to see what it is before it scrolls up a page. The trading and selling forum is absolutely no better. Who wants to click on 200 individual posts, wait for 100 images to load just to see they want 4 ex for an item worth 1 gcp?

Once the game gets out of beta, the spam will be 10x worse. This game needs some kind of shop/ah or something, in the game, with search functions.

As I said, D3 was ruined because the AH was implemented, then the game was designed around it. POE is already structured, and an AH/Shop system will do nothing to the game at all.

SIne i don't play the game anymore I vote yes for AH huehue.
