Currency exchange has to go
" yeah so i hear, i wish id been in the right space mentally and physically to give it a good play but ive had a lot of irl stuff on. ive been away from my house in ireland for 2 months living with a friend in england, looking at buying a house over here, working. i dont even have my pc im on a laptop, its a good gaming laptop but you know how it is, when ur not properly sat at your own desk setup its a bit jarring. i might get in on the next league, maybe, but if poe2 drops this november honestly ill probably give it a few months to work out a lot of kinks and then just dive into 2 early next year. absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. im currently being a hades/vampire survivors from the sofa with a gamepad casual xD. |

" I dunno, if you want to fanny around comparing both for the better rate then it's time not playing so that kills the efficiency somewhat. The better rate was just a side effect of going to the trade site rather something I was actually looking out for. |

" Sure, I agree. I'm not really sure what QoL's and stuff you are talking about earlier in your post, that the trade site offers for currency exchanges that you are missing. When it comes to non-currency trades, or rather non-stackable item trade, I'm sure they'll bring all of that into the game with bulk options for non-stackables like maps and stuff. But I don't really think that the trade site "should become obsolete". They should MAKE it obsolete from the get-go, and remove the API, so we don't end up with a situation where some/certain communities, crafting guilds and whatnot keep using "the old ways" so people will have to navigate both options, which won't benefit anyone. TL:DR; when they decided to go down this road, do it properly. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

" Is removing the API and therefore bricking many websites that exist that literally everyone uses doing it "properly"? " "Bulk options for non-stackables like maps", each map is individual, unless you can only sell scoured not corrupted maps that ain't happening. Last edited by Satan on Feb 10, 1692, 10:00:00 PM

" Yes, if they are covering every aspect. People ONLY use them as the game itself provides no (or worse) alternative. EVERYTHING you list CAN be covered in-game. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

" No, people use it because it is much easier for a random hobby-developer to put together a tool based on a public API than it is to convince the company to purpose build that tool into the game. Its like saying „Google should remove the extension functionality from Chrome“, afterall EVERYTHING that chrome extensions do CAN be covered in-browser, doesn‘t mean removing that functionality would not result in a gigantic feature-loss.
