I hate asynchronous trade

Asynchronous trade ruined trading. everything is only 1 chaos now or never sells. I use to sell items for 1-100 chaos all the time now i can only sell items if they are t1t1t1t1 or w.e for many divines. I can get 30% ms boots with tri ele res for 1c now with life. there is no item weight everything is shit. Just farm and make currency numbers go up now.

Please look into fixing this problem asynchronous trade has caused and most of the player base let's be honest doesn't/didn't understand the trade philosophy manifesto........

Have you considered that it's not async that's the "problem", but how breach tree generates good items you can't compete with?

The old trade was garbage. Ive wasted hours trying to buy an item. Ive been target of scammers and scalpels so many times.

If you can't make easy cash as you used to, look for other sources of income that involve (async) trading. There are equipment gear pieces that still sell nicely.

I wholeheartedly and respectfully disagree.
If you sell item for 1c and buy item you want for 1c, does it make a difference that you sold item for 100c before and also buy the thing you want for 100c?
I honestly think async trade is the best QoL addition the game ever had since stash affinity, for several reasons:
1. The availability of the async trade let late league starters buy leveling and low value items.
2. It eliminate the problem with ghosting, scamming, swapping, market flipping.
3. It save people time since you don't have to wait for 10 minutes to do a trade because the other person is "in lab".
4. It allow bulk trading without the use of TFT.
5. It also provide people with otherwise-will-disappear supplies later into the league as people dropping the game for perhaps PoE2 new season or what ever new excitement they may have, and provide a lift to help the market stay afloat with smaller active playerbase.

Item value do not fluctuate based on whether the market was person-to-person or async, it rely on the relative between supply and demand. Before, getting a 30% ms boots is a big deal since you have to deliberately craft it, and even then it rarely come with resistance, defense or life. But time has changed, now you have way to get decent 30% ms boots either through shipping or genesis tree, the supply for that particular kind of item have increased by quite frankly, hundred if not thousands since everyone can use the tree and everyone can do shipment.

For example on effect of demand on item value. Right now, if you pick up a WHITE Kinetic Wand of at least lv82, it would worth 3 times the boot you tried to sell (3c).

Breach Tree MUST BE NERFED, because it gives easy access to high-end items without much investment. Even crafting with Rog ain't that easy as "Click Wombgift and take look".
