Why is there no auction house in POE?
" Yes, it IS already happening, because they have made trading a lot easier than they ever intended. But just because we have "60% bad", doesn't mean we should just embrace "100% bad". All manifesto's that are several years old are outdated. But the ideas still remain. You can disagree with them, but it doesn't really take much empathy or insight to understand them. Trading needs improvements, but they should NEVER make it automatic or enable offline trading. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

No trade - no problem. The gap between traders and non-traders is already very huge. And they want even more. Path of Trade Simulator.

" they said it in interviews a dozen times: they implemented the trading option to enable you to theoretically sell your item to others. the option to trade it is what gives 99% of drops their value. on the other hand, buying items is spoiling the fun of crafting or finding the items themselves for buyers, so the game isn't really keen on making it easy to trade. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

" I am not persuaded by that argument. I haven't personally seen anything that says that GGG have made it easier than they intended (they may well have as I don't claim to be omniscient). However, if that is the case it's hard to see how that would enable bots. Every game that has a trading element has bots, they are unavoidable and right now they dominate currency trading. I may well be wrong as I don't profess to have expertise in this area. I honestly don't know what the right answer is, what i do know is that the manifesto is out of date and given how important trading is to the game it should be updated. I also feel that TFT needs to be explicitly considered by GGG. I am not saying TFT is bad just that it enables the effective circumvention of the ideas within the manifesto. GGG may be ok with that and if so great, however, we need to look at how the environment has changed in the years since the manifesto was written.

TFT is another reason why you don't need in-game marketplace. If you already have abusive trade community, why do you need more?

" Limit "gear items only" then no problem. GGG wants a dead trade game. Thats why there is no AH. Move on guys. GGG is outdated company. |

" Damn right, everyone should just play those other ARPGs with an auction house like Diablo 2/3/4, Wolcen or Last Epoch instead. Last edited by RandallPOE on Oct 31, 2023, 12:09:22 PM

" I laughed. Nice. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

" Can't you trade or what? Can't you use premium stash tabs or spam in trade chat like a madman? Or maybe you're banned on pathofexile.com/trade? Everything works perfect for me, we have plenty insane builds from tradies according to poe.ninja, thousands and thousands divine orbs of profit. It is not even close to be dead. |
