A tad ironic, don't you think?

The best things this game could copy from wow:
The superior chat ui and the AH for practical trading.
Every Poe fanboy however is hating these suggestions
and we will probably never see these features.
"Fuck off Blizzard noob, go back to wow!"

The worst things this game could copy from wow:
Vanity pets and fishing (is coming).
Every Poe fanboy loses their mind and pukes rainbows.
"Ohmygod this game is so fucking awesome and original!"

Is this some sort of... parallel universe??

2/10.

Pretty sure you couldn't define ironic without looking it up.

we know how well auction houses work in arpgs

What's wrong with Vanity Items, Fishing [and Trolling]?

Vanity Items are the ONLY good thing about WoW... <_<
Though I hate the Pets in PoE, they're stupid. But MicroTrans <3

Why would POE want to in any way compete with WOW, totally different genres.

You act like WoW was the first game with fishing, and also as if fishing isn't already in PoE. Both of those assertions are spurious.

Also, fishing in PoE isn't even like in WoW anyway. It's more like a cross between Sega Bass Fishing and Magicka.

I see there are words around your picture of him but they don't add anything to the above fact.

I think an A/H would work to a Certain extent.
Pets are introduced as a source of funding for GGG, without them how would they fund the expantion of the game and possible intruduction of an auction house... Derp

Who said anything about competition?
PC games all have a lot of different qualities and aspects.
The majority has a absolute core to function; the use of a mouse and keyboard, and a visual interface on the screen. There are ways to optimise these features, by making them functional, practical and effective.

Fact is, that Blizzard has almost perfected the chat and general user interface in Wow;
It's adjustable, clear, easy to use, practical, customisable, it works, it's awesome.
I'd take that any time over Poe's ui. I like the Poe art better though, the skins, which I actually could copy into Wow if I would bother myself with addons, I'm pretty sure there's a Poe style skin ui addon for Wow.

Blizzard has hardly patented any of their ui designs and features.
I'm no expert but I don't think anyone can call a patent on "clicking this does that" actions.
The Poe ui to me looks and feels like a car with TRIANGLES as wheels...
Why don't you use round ones? They are the best! Get it now? There's no patent, or is there?
Why did GGG design everything to mimic a amateurs test creation from 1987??
And again, to avoid any confusion: I'm talking about funtionality, not artistic design.
