Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - POE Auction House/Easy System of Trade - Forum

The purpose of the thread is to suggest a system of trade rather than implying. I'm in no way against the idea of Auction house nor am I entirely on board. If you have similar conflicts with trading in POE feel free to contribute any ideas you may have on the topic.
POE takes a lot of it's mechanics from Diablo 2 and I don't know if a system of trade will be implemented in later versions of the game. So here it goes.

An easy system of trade should be implemented into the game.
I say easy system of trade because the words 'Auction' and 'House' are pretty much shunned in the world of POE as displayed in my previous thread about trade http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/396943
Although, I can't blame the negative feedback of an auction house in Path Of Exile, as we all know how awesome it was in Diablo 3. I still think some system of trade should be put into the game.

Trading in POE should be more in depth. It's impossbru to sell any items that aren't top quality. The only way an average player can sell items, is to spam the trade chat for an hour and hope an item sells or post their items in the forums and go through the hassle of contacting the buyer/seller. But why do I have to use trade chat just to sell? Why do I have to use resources that aren't entirely in-game to sell items that are entirely in-game?

So enough with that, here are some suggestions I have that are mostly simple ideas that can be discussed.

Place your traders into a market

Spoiler

Put anyone wanting to trade into one big arena/room/whatevs this room is entirely devoted to trade. Allow players to freely roam around as they please, like they would in town. That's it.

I think this would be an effective and new method of trade. Not everyone, who is willing to trade something is going to want to monitor chat and forums for hours to come up with nothing. With this big room, the players that are trading are there at the moment they need to sell and buy items and can be traded right there! Simple!!!

A different Path of Exile Auction house variant

Spoiler

Make a trade tab in-game and allow players to post items on a global board with price and all that good stuff.

This is very similar to the Auction House but if players were willing to look passed it,
it's an easy and good way to trade and if GGG can keep a lid on bots and Trade tab bugs this will work wonders.

Clan trading

Spoiler

Create a guild/clan/whatevs system into the game and each clan has a clan trade board for members to post and trade throughout their clan.

While the clan idea may not be so simple, the trading aspect of it is.
This is can also act like farming in one big party. Everyone is on the same page, you can get bruh deals and you'll have a mass item impact.

Those are just very basic ideas, feel free to criticize/contribute/whatevs to these ideas.
I'm open for additions to be made to these ideas. Maybe make another thread to highlight some cool ideas.
