Everything should just be account bound. Much better than trading.

Anyway, this thread is hilarious on a few levels.


so the 'game' now is 'trading'? i know it is. but it is hilarious to see it written in the open. nice evolution we have with our games. you are now 'good' at the game and have 'skill' if you can scam noobs chaos:regret 1:1.. and flip them 2:1 a minute later. such skill
Fact of the matter is that the market will balance the prices of figure head items.

XYZ cannot control what the masses expect to pay or are willing to pay.
I don't trade all that much. I post a trade thread maybe once a month and consistently get hits on it. But hey, whatever bullshit you feel like spewing is fine with me. The more retards that think the only valuable items in the game are uniques, the better as far as I'm concerned.

... This is the best way to buy and sell items at the moment but a tool of market manipulation too... Look for example what happened to thief torment ring...from 3-4 EX decent rolls to 7-10 EX and more....

Why I think that ?

The b/o prices for some items are just the prices that THOSE items don`t SELL FOR and people still believe that those are the fair prices for the items.The REAL PRICE of items is the price that the BUYER IS WILLING TO PAY !

How to manipulate market using poe.xyz ?

Say to your friends/Guild( meaning that you have a lot of friends/guildies playing poe.xyz) with soul takers that they use and don`t want to sell to post them on poe.xyz for 80 EX.Wait one month , meanwhile the rest sells for 40-50 ...
Some noob drops a Soul taker , checks poe.xyz ... "Oh wow , I`ll get 80 EX for this , better post it " ... he posts it lets say at 70 EX...the next noobs sees this...Same thing happens.


This is how you use poe.xyz for market manipulation.

I hope with the next big patch GGG will introduce a new system.


lol, so clueless
Rules of thumb about the economy :

=> Nothing has a fixed price, unless something is forcing it to. The meat you're eating, his price come from the stock market.

=> If something is actually overpriced, he'll come down in time. If something is actually underpriced, he'll come up in time. If something has little fluctuations but is selling, this is his actual balanced price.

=> Crying won't change anything about it. If everybody else is willing to spend $X on one item, there's no reason you don't spend $X on the same item.
The highest b/o listed in xyz is the lowest price an item DOESN'T sell for. It has little to do with the actual value.
If an item is overpriced it will eventually come down because most people won't pay it and if people want to sell those items they will have to lower the price.

I have no ideea what I read...
Overpricing items makes that person look like a clown, even more the guy who pays. :3
Before claiming poe.xyz fvked the economah, consider that without that site service nobody would actually trade in this game, because the game has no trading tools outside the horrid chatspam.

And while GGG is "making improvements to trade" (for a year+ now), poe.xyz is keeping people playing Path of Exile, else the playerbase would be maybe half of what it is now, because everybody would quit over the impossibility to trade...

GGG should buy a supporter pack for poe.xyz
