Price fixers on trade market ruining game

There's no such thing as a "As simple as that Solution." o.O Black Listing while a simple concept isn't a simple solution, you have to code a search for that players items separate code per item, pre tab, per item type, per player. even if they did that what back end things need to be changed in order to implement that and how will it effect the game outside of the market what possible bugs come to the market aswell. As for the name by the item that is again a simple concept isn't a simple solution to code the name they first have to give each player a unique code then from there make a system to read that code that then redirects the information to the items information box on your screen. Then consider the back end load added via that aswell as possible bugs out of the market and in the market as there is always a possibly to create a bug everytime you add new codes. You also have to consider the platform and how it reads/translates data. Can't simply copy paste the code from pcs market to ours. Lastly as for "they just" this or that blah blah, with that type of poor attitude I wouldn't fix it either o.O Why expect something from someone when you want to act that way? If it was up to me I'd say "Sorry but your poor attitude and low compression doesn't warnt my time or effort." in closing y'alls weak minded complaints are disappointing. If you can't give feedback without being hurt or rude than wait till you can. No one's going to care about a temper tantrum and a temper tantrum isn't going to boost their spirits to work harder either. Scroll the page 1 item at a time like everyone else and if you can't find one oh well go find it yourself.

We're console players anyways leave the cry baby gimme gimme temper tantrums to the PC plebs. Imagine playing the most difficult Platform of a game and complaining about stuff like some spoiled pc kid crying about aim assist being aim bot. XD

I think the biggest problem is that people don’t understand why the system is set up to cause some difficulty while trading.
This was posted in 2017 and reading it helps to understand where the devs are coming from.

Personally, I’d rather it stay the same then see it go the way of that “other” ARPG and have every item be soulbound/untradable. Yes the system isn’t perfect, but there will always be people that try to take advantage.

Yep Names and/or Black List are all we need to remove most of the annoyance the market bring on us.
Been asking for months now, hopefully they'll do something.

They obviously want the price fixers to keep annoying people trying to play legit, or they would have at least done something simple like that by now.

I actually don't really care about price fixers. Playing on standard and I don't even check market before pricing an item. Price fixing is something for big competitive markets, not a small market like the one we have on standard. There are a few fixers here too, but they are just wasting their time.

Same for the annoying kids that send you 3 chromatic for your 6 linked starforge, I don't really care, once every half an hour I clean my offers tab.

The only real thing I would like to have is getting rid of anonimity. Because once you can't hide yourself anymore, I'm pretty sure that even fixers and annoying kids will disappear.

I hate price fixers as much as the next guy, but if you’re trying to go after those ones that are listed at 9ex it’ll never happen.
First off it’s an off league for nemesis which means there’s gonna be a shortage of HH’s from people who chance or spam ancients. Second even last season when you could roll the Zana mod, a HH was easily 100-130ex.
So yeah it sucks that people out there are trying to rip off newbies, but you should be prepared to spend 15-20ex a pop on those cards.

I bought lots of doctor cards for 8ex in league and nurse cards for 1ex

Proof:



Unfortunately too many greedy lowlifes in Standard.

Ontopic:

Just add a buyout

- pricefixers gone
- buyers happy cause fast transaction
- sellers happy (who dont have to leave map to accept trade)

Unfortunately GGG devs dont play the game and DON'T care our game experience. They want to frustrate everything because they scared we quit the game once we have our gear. Yeah some will quit faster. We have to suffer cause of that?

Pathetic. Its 2020. Just implement a decent trade market.

This is so halfassed like everything in the game.

In Metamorph league I spend 3 hours a day checking trade market for specific corrupted jewels. After 15 minutes and reaching page 700 it turns out the item is not available. Yeah fun!

Well, the chinese PC version has the same tradeboard mechanic, and they have an instant buyout. The backend should (maybe its not due to PSN and MSN) be the same and should be not too hard to implement. Tbh I am so glad they finally added this remember last search, it helps a lot with stuff like map buying.

About a blacklist, and how complicated it would be to program. If its just a player blacklist, it should be pretty easy if they transmit a unique playerid with the item. ( if its not in yet, it should exist on the server so could be send) and then on the client you could save it in the options and filter the items out, like the textfilter and instead of greying out, mark it somehow else.

As this would be a local filter, it should have not really any performance consequences for their servers.

Same could work for single items you dont want to "see" again, those unique ids are definitely known already on the client, and could be filtered out on client side as well.

I totally understand the frustration about this slow pace regarding QoL improvements and I expressed mine in the past several times as well, but if I would be the developer and my forums are full of crashreports and performance issues, I would probably focus on those first as well. For me this league is by far the best experience, not a single blue screen and not a single fps drop, just missing effects and textures sometimes. It might be that I switched to a new external ssd on my ps4 pro before the league start, but I hope it's because they fixed stuff.

Btw I am still waiting for stash tab pricing...

It would help a lot if we could black list sellers that do this or at least see their name so we know not to bother with it.

It's almost impossible to trade you chaos for an exalt right now on PS4. 100/100 of the ones listed are price fixers that don't sell and you have spend over an hour each time trying to figure out if one of them is not a price fixer.

This is what you want GGG? You want them to thrive while players just trying to play and enjoy your game be frustrated like this? Why do you support that sort of behavior since you refuse to put any measures in place that could help like having names or an instant buy out or let players black list them?

One of the main reasons why console can't get anything needed like improvements to trade market or game chat or anything is because of reddit. Any mention of console on reddit gets downvoted or you simply aren't allowed to speak about being a console player and reddit is what they listen to, as ridiculous as that sounds. So because they don't see upvoted posts about console on reddit, we get ignored.
