AH killed the price fixers, it was a mistake to not add non-stackable items

Idk i didnt really understand prices on ingame currency market.
I've always checked actual rates on website before selling on ingame currency market because recommended rates seemed off, stuff on website was sometimes double the price from recommended AH prices... So I've put it into market for double the price (so just like website prices) and that stuff still sold, i feel like ingame currency market is still used by price fixers, robbing you off your stuff for cheap and resell the for much more... Without website to price-check i wouldn't have noticed and get "scammed" 24/7 by just taking recommended rates. I got mixed feelings about ingame currency market cause it eventually might the the best div/h by flipping stuff, which i'm not a fan of Hopefully when this goes core the price rates will be more detailed and accurate Last edited by Rikku on Aug 27, 2024, 8:16:55 AM

" Yes, price fixers are perfectly fine, recently I've seen a nice cleanup of ancient orbs market, to be set up 50% higher sell, 1000% buy. I had some fun with one of more limited stuff and earned around 1 mirror shard/h on autotrade while mapping. Biggest compliments for my crafted items - "bs, they must have been RMT'ed" I'm disabled, I have rare case of semperduravera, so I can write things that may look rude, but it is because of disability - I'm forced to tell truth using words you may not like.

" No, an auction house is where you place an item up for bidding, and people bid on it for a set amount of time. THAT is what an auction is. What we have is a trade market. No bidding. | |
" No. That can be an option of an AH has but that doesn't preclude or identify one. It certainly isn't a qualifier, or require some sort of AH certificate, that's absurd. I have no idea what your past and current gaming & AH experience is, but setting as a "buy now", "24 hours", or "5 day bidding period" is simply not relevant in this context. It's all happening at the same time at the same location, at player discretion. "Trade Market" or "Currency Exchange" or whatever else it is called, doesn't matter. It's the functionality that matters. There is little point in arguing semantics however. If it functions like an AH but folks want to call it something else, this doesn't bother me. I'm good.

The revision of what an AH is seems likes a rather desperate attempt to save face.
"Oh, an interface where you exchange one thing for others in an automated way, thats not an AH. You need an old-timey 1920s announcer and people physically raising hands or its not an AH. Do I have 145c for the divine, 146, 147, going going 148 from the gentlemen with no pants and extra totems, 149 from slayer still leeching from the last map, 150, do I hear 150" Its an AH, you were wrong, it didnt destroy the game despite your fearmongering. I cant imagine how many tens of thousands of hours have been spent in waste and annoyance and how many players quit over the terrible trade system, all because Chris had a bad day on D3.

i think one big issue is the use of the term AH.
what we really want is automated trade. settlers provide automated trade with gold being the cost. we use "AH" as its easily understood. if people used "AT" no one knows what it means. and automated trade is a lot of characters to type. [Removed by Support]

" i would argue for the first few years, it was a normal practice and did have some nostalgic value as players came from d2. the content available in the game was scarce. there was no "end game". automated trade would have sped up the leveling/gearing process a huge deal so that players would end up having nothing to do sooner. now, trading is crucial to progression. back then 100-600k dps was huge. now you need to be doing millions of dps. POE evolved to require automated trade. it is progress. i could trade 100-200c to get 1500 fusings. if i farmed normally it would take literal weeks [Removed by Support]

" Sure it matters. Everything has its meaning. " It's called marketplace, exchange or bazaar. AH by the definition doesn't allow you to buy items directly without competition (instantly) with the other buyers for certain period of time. This is the core principe of AH. The seller lists the item and then WAITS for the best price. The best buyer (with the highest price he offered) gets the item. You cannot buy items on spot. Ez? Ez. |
