Please give console players an in game trade board.

I started PoE on PC and switch to Xbox when it became available.

PoE on PC is just filled with bots and currency sellers. I would go as far to say that no more than 10% of PC market is from the players. And the devs over tune all drop rates bases on bots and farmers not real players.

Trade board was so nice on console. I don't remember PC trading being this bad. I needed 2x 40+ MF rings which I didn't care what else was on it and I had to have trade up for 2hrs and I pinged over 100 sellers to buy and it took this long for such a basic cheap item.

If I was on console I could of just found a bunch of sellers offered them 5exalts and someone would of accepted within a minute. A couple minutes of time took 2hrs of my night.

I don't want to play with PC. Give us a console only league. Give console players a choice.

I would like that but only if I can see who sends me an offer so i can block scammers, in poe 1 you get multiple scam offers a day and you don't know who it is.
Please give us an in game trade board or at least let us use the direct whisper function on console. It should be fairly easy to verify that we're online on our xbox account.
This is really important, at the end of the day the possibility of trading is there sure but it's pretty complicated, maybe make it only tradeable between console players only, but we need a solution!

The complexity in trading with a controller vs a PC player are heaven and earth, just the message feature alone is really hard.
There will be feature parity between PC and console. The trade board is a relic from times when console didnt had access to the PoE trade side.
Since we will have acces to it for PoE2, there will be no trade board. Nor shouldnt there.

Learn to use the trade site! It gives you way more advanced options to search for items.
To say it very blunt: If you think the trade board would be any sort of upgrade for your trading experience, you have zero clues about trading!
It is a downgrade for your trading experience and success in every possible way!

This is exactly the type of behaviour that makes PC players look down on us Console players and say we are just worse at the game.
In this case, they are right unfortunatly!

Be better!

In this discussion about loot filter and trade board I don't understand how can we all miss price checking tools available for PC and not for console. It's a such disadvantage that I don't think there anything else even close to this.

Trying to communicate in game with a controller is horrible. Can you tell me how to make an offer on an item? So far all I can do is send automated message that I will pay the buyout.

they expect us to drop everything and jump on pc to message then get back on console and hope the message sent. if not try again. they are making it harder on console on purpose. they hate that we play on console. they treat console players like second class citizens and that will never change. we are not wanted by the pc players or the devs. i will gladly give up pc crossplay for making trade possible on consoles. i do not want to leave the game to trade. i should not have to leave the game to trade. i also cant get ba refund because of the points. isnt that nice. come on all the ggg d riders. remember no one in the company would do anything for you. they dont liek you or care that you exist. you are only a number to them.
