You just find item and PM guy with:
-WTB x x
-ok.
- ok.
Invite, teleport, trade
- bye bye

waste of time.

And POE is not made for the average casual person.

I quote form the frontpage:

path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. We're a small independent team of hardcore gamers based in New Zealand and have created Path of Exile as the game that we'd want to play ourselves. It is designed around a strong barter-based online item economy, deep character customisation, competitive PvP and ladder races


So are you sure you playing the right game?

Oh Burmeister, you so hardcore, youre penis sooo big. sooooo big.

Also PoE isn't hardcore, it's just not extremely casual. Unless you count broken netcode or shitty crafting (aka gambling) as "hardcore".

Nope. Without an auction house things are being sold, with one everything will be worth shit because everyone will put everything for sale.

HOW ARE YOU SO HARD CORE? I CAN NOT COMPREHEND IT!!!11111ONE I FEEL SO INFERIOR

only rare itens are hard to find the rest is easy.


no

NO

Ive read a couple of pages of this thread, and had my own idea (maybe someone else had it already too, i didnt read all).

You guys call it trading, but actually in Trading Area, there are only Shops (People SELLING or Buying Stuff (WTS/WTB)).

I would like to have a place, where people could really trade items. Im completly missing real trading (WTT)!

A short example:

Im playing a ranger (lets say shes lvl 30). She finds a rare Two-Handed-Sword. Usually people do SELL the stuff to the ingame shop, for a few alternation shards, or maybe alchemy shards.

How about i could put this item (if i decide i want to), into some marcetplace, and say i want a Bow for exchange (maybe also limiting the item level people can offer for it). That would be a really trade!

Its very hard for new players to trade any kind of stuff actually, because they either have no currency items, nor anyone is really much trading stuff below lvl 50(?) (An Exception to this are Unique items). Did u ever tried to trade stuff u doesnt need on lower levels? I guess alot newcomers do leave the game already under level 40 because they will never have an option to trade anything.

Just my thoughts ^^

(Actually its also useless to keep rare items, just to get some orb of changes, i've NEVER seen someone accepting these, they shouldn't even be named "Currency"!)

--- EDIT ---
Also everybody claims about, trading is a part of this game. Its not trading, its buying/selling stuff! All what happened is that Gold was renamed to Orbs. You could just say a Chaos Orb would be like 100 Gold, while an Alchemy Orb would be 50 Gold (Just random Numbers, im not farmiliar with the Orb-Values at the market actually).

Also im seeing alot of new players just keeping all their orbs for trading them later, instead of use them, which is totally against the use of the orbs. They should be used instead of traded...

Nobody needs to trade anything under level 40 lol.

I was totally new this will come!

So how about people that are not that good players, but wanna play Hardcore. Some will never make it to the End-Levels. This game claims its about trading, and trading would be a great part of this game. So its only an endgame part like maps? Wow! Why dont we all start with lvl 60 then, if all before is totally useless/meaningless?

God no. An AH just makes trading more efficient. The problem isn't that trading isn't efficient enough, the problem is that trading is better than loot drops and crafting for gear progression. Putting in an AH would just make the problem worse.
