Why PoE 2 will again not get a Auction house? (or trading system)

Also Ah is the number one thing this game needs right now.
I can only agree that trade as it is now is annoying piece of .... Designed to waste time and patience. I wanted to test some stuff and i needed few items, each of them took me A LOT OF time and messages to get ANY kind of answer. I was being ignored 99% of time, sometimes i saw someone just making item more expensive, mostly just no reaction. If only ssf have some MF boost to give a chance to find gear in reasonable amount of time i wouldnt even bother playing that toxic trade league. In game AH would do the job as well:)
I liked the AH in LE. You need to level uo and it's part of the game. I don't see any problem doing something like that in PoE2. And it's very easy to keep AH from being flooded with quadrilions of items. Gold fee for posting item. For example 20k.if you post everything you find you would end running out of gold without any profit.
Current system is very complicated. I mean i have items for sale 1-3 ex and guys are keep whispering while I'm busy. So either i have to waste my time for such a little profit or i have to ignore them. And potential buyer is also wasting finding seller who would answer him. In LE u put items for sale and you don't have to be disturbed. You can keep playing.
From a working person's perspective I can say that an Auction House is a very nice tool to have.

There can be some limitation indeed, such as list maximum 20 items per Account (not per character), times -> 24h, 48h, 72h each of those times will cost 10,000 gold -> 20,000 gold -> 40,000 Gold.

You will have the option to either set a starting bid / no buyout or starting bid / buyout price.

As I was saying from a working person's perspective, this will allow me to actually sell any loot I get when I can play the game. As I'm playing a limited amount of hours per day/week and if I have to simply sit in the game to do trades and nothing else in order to sell my items well that's kinda boring.

Additionally having to contact people from the trade site, to simply not get an answer for one or other reason (like they fighting atm, they just went to the toilet or they simply ignoring you) is the most annoying aspect that I have seen. I mean there are times I have to contact like 20 people in a row in order to get an item, some times I have to actually wait more than an hour to get a trade (me buying an item) just because the people haven't responded. With an Auction House that will be removed.

Now the only Negative thing about having an Auction house is the pricing of an item. As there are a ton of people who indeed try to scam/undercut items from their regular price, so that's something that GGG must invest time on how it can be prevented. As some item simply listing the "last 10 sells" won't cut it, due to the fact that A person could have traded with one of his friends in order to undercut the price of 'last 10 trades/sells'.
