I have a question About Third-Party Software
|
How to quickly check prices when there are many devices in the game?
If I use this software, will it be considered a third party software and my account be blocked? [Awakened PoE Trade] Last bumped on Nov 5, 2024, 3:25:40 AM

Hey there,
Unfortunately, we cannot comment on the legality of third-party tools, as we aren't able to thoroughly and accurately check exactly how they work. We do not encourage the creation or use of third-party tools because they provide advantages for players that use them. I'm afraid that we're unable to guarantee if a tool is allowed or would remain allowed in the future. I would recommend refraining from creating or using any programs that automates or does more than one action with a keystroke or mouse click as well as anything that interacts with the game client to provide an advantage over other players or provide information that isn't normally visible. | |
"Thank you for your reply.So let's say there are a lot of items in the game that I want to sell. How can I quickly check the correct price for each piece of equipment in the market? |

" You use Awakened POE Trade, just like everyone else does. As a practical matter, any tool being endorsed and used by major streamers is going to be safe. The thing from a site that's openly about cheating and hacking games that warns you that GGG can detect and ban you for it is blatantly not safe. New relatively unknown tools are unfortunately something of a risk. The best I can suggest here is waiting a few weeks or months to see if they do anything about users. A ban wave would be big news, both in the community as a whole The only things you might need to worry about are are macros that do things on timers or trigger multiple skills/flasks/etc from a single keypress (via autohotkey or some gaming devices built in macro features); or binding actions to moving an 'unlocked' scroll wheel (one that can spin freely at very high speeds as opposed to ne that has a degree of resistance and which has a detent that causes it to operate in distinct clicks). Years ago GGG used to answer "we think that's OK" when asked about widely used tools, and in email to devs asking if what they wanted to do would be allowed. I'm not sure why they stopped; if I had to guess someone got worried that a tool they previously said was allowed might go rogue and add a non-permissible feature. I feel this is a mistake; but after years of people complaining about it also don't see them changing their mind in response to community complaints. I really hope that for POE2 they bring the core functionality of all the major community tools into the core game engine avoiding the need for all this nonsense entirely. Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? | |
" Thank you for your patient reply I was just wondering how to quickly check the price of an item without Awakened POE Trade This is because Awakened POE Trade is generally equivalent to third-party software But a lot of people use it, and it's widely distributed It's just that I saw in the forum that someone was banned for using this software, so I'm also worried |

" I don't know what they were banned for; but am confident it wasn't APT. No one who gets banned for RMT or using cheats admits to it on the forum. Instead they pretend something else got a ban to fish for sympathy.

GGG doesn't generally tell people what they are banned for in any detail (ostensibly to avoid malicious users from figuring out how to avoid bans in the future), and so someone wouldn't know if they got banned because of APT anyways. There are occasionally people claiming to have been banned when for using third party software when APT was the only software they were using, but APT is used by massive portion of the community and so if it were the sole cause of the ban then you'd have tens of thousands of angry redditors complaining about it. Simply using APT shouldn't get you banned.
There is no quick way to price-check items reliably in-game. The lowest effort way to handle price-checking without relying on third party tools is to throw the item in a dump tab with a b/o all items price listed. if you get a whisper quickly the item is probably underpriced and you should either look up the price on trade site or increase the price to see if you continue getting hits. if you don't get any hits after a while then you should lower the price of the item occasionally until you do. |
