Controller Trading Nearly Impossible

Specifically selling.
When you invite someone to your hideout, and they don't move from the waypoint (usual), it can be very difficult/random to highlight their character to initiate trade. Especially if your right stick has any drift what so ever which is common unfortunately, but even with no drift it is difficult. Have had several people leave my hideout because I was running around in a circle trying to highlight their character. They probably thought I was being a jerk and refused to trade. VERY FRUSTRATING. I have basically stopped selling items to people unless it's through the Exchange.

Suggested fix:
Please don't make us target anyone with controller. The target system is just bad in general but you rarely ever need to use it so it's usually not an issue. A TRADE button or something that doesn't involve targeting, even in the pause menu would be good.

Most optimal but most work:
Trade system that doesn't involve player interaction and accepting/refusing trades. Similar to console but without the denying trades part (price gouging)

Allowing players to switch to KB/M without logging out would be a work around for players like me who use controller but have keyboard & mouse nearby. Wouldn't fix the problem for some players though, but this would also just be a nice feature in the game for inventory management.

This could very well be a problem in PoE 2 as well. I don't know though because I never traded in that game.

Okay, just realized that you can select the trader's name in the chat and select "Trade"
I can actually trade now.
There is still a ton of room for improvement here. Please make this process easier at some point GGG. Trading on controller is probably the most difficult thing in the game lol
TY

you can also pause and select to initiate trade with party members individually as they also show up when you pause the game, same as party invites. hope it helps in the meanwhile
