Currency Exchange NPC infinite loop and Trading unbalance

Some people literally play the game on the sole purpose of trading. They will finish all 3 act, get to the currency exchange. Then just trade and make bank. That's their fun. It's not OP it's not unbalanced, it's every game with that type of system that's ever existed.

What's worse is going into trade chat and seeing people selling things straight off the currency for triple. It's bad for everyone except the player's exploiting others.

It's sad. I even posted the currency exchange rate in trade less than 24 hours ago on one item and a guy whispered me I was retarded. There are many ways players can help others learn and posting the item in your public tab for the real price can help with it. Then when they whisper you just send them a message back on how to get for the "Real" price and you can help a lot. I used to do this in PoE 1 and I will be doing it here.

All jeweller's orbs and Cut and uncut gems should only be tradeable the the currency exchange(not player to player).

You want to see all the new players leave before they even get started, allow this is Release and they will be gone.

I don't know why they allow "leagues of scammers"

You are not supposed to use the trade chat -- that's where scammers go.


GGG is seemingly okay with scammers, they have a "you can get scammed in real life, you should pay attention in game" attitude towards scammers.

Do your trading on the official trade site -- do not use trad chat unless you're looking for ROTAs or services. You will only find people ripping off noobs.

People here talking about how this is ok because it takes "skill" ant it's the same as real life.

I don't know if any of you ever played any other game, but there is always a path of progress as you play the game, you enjoy the gameplay and get rewarded, there is nothing like that in this type of system.

Where is the fun in being able to generate an infinite amount of currency from JUST 1 unit? This is the same as typing some cheat code in GTA to buy everything you want, yeah bro you are really smart and skillful by exploiting a wrongly implemented system, and for what? You are not enjoying the game and are sweating to scam other people by using a bad system.

I will defend this because i stand for a fair game and to actually enjoy them, i couldn't care less about your real life applications for money, i want to earn my things by actual gameplay, not sitting with an npc making numbers.

The currency exchange should be a tool to get a currency you don't have for a equivalent amount set by GGG, that way you will ensure the only way to get something is by actually playing the game, not scamming people for something with no real value, it's a video game.

Obviously for this drop rates should be better and there should be a way to get the equipment you want, but at least that would feel rewarded because, i you got it by yourself, while actually enjoying the game, which is something this kind of people don't do.

Thankfully, there is SSF to get away of all of this.

Fixed price would be unfair. If I want to sell/buy something from another player, I would rather want the price of it to be a result of market forces than decreed and fixed.
Besides, this would create a whole new dimension of headache for GGG, as obviously there would be inefficiencies in that fixed price, downward or upward.
