Unpopular Opinion but GGG should stop supporting Trade Scams in POE 2

We get it, Diablo 3 AH left a sour taste in a lot of people's mouths.

It's been over 12 years now, and GGG can't get over it.
They have buried themselves in selling Hideouts that now if they give us the ability to have a automated market they fear nobody would buy useless hideouts to show off to buyers.

These price fixing trade scams are now even worse in POE 2, you are alienating a significant amount of new players who are wasting time messaging people for items that are clearly NOT for same, just messaged 20 people for an item and all scammers, they aren't selling they just listing it for 1 exalt so you would then list yours for less so they can buy it off you to flip.

This has been directly supported by GGG because they have pandered to Diablo 2 fanboys for years.

It's time for a automated system like the new currency exchange so we don't have to deal with all these scammers.

That would take far too much time they'd rather spend nerfing builds so we all play how they want us to, rather than what people find fun. People been asking for this for over a decade, if it isn't here now, it never will be.

It has NOTHING to do with time, it has to do with the fear of Diablo 3 Auction House history.

It has to do with selling hideouts, if you automated trade to stop the trade scams of fake listings nobody would buy hideouts.

People buy it to show off to buyers who visit their HO and GGG knows that.

People have paid for early access to this game, it's defacto a paid game and GGG should stop being greedy, game is losing players and a lot of people are sick and tired of all these trade scams.

Have 2 friends who quit playing this cause of the whole fake listing trade scams taking place.

fear of what?? Dude, this game has been supported by selling items for real money for decades, including this whole "we still want the game to be more ruthless" movement comes from strumers who live off of this. Everyone knows what goes on on third-party sites and discords out there. Well, since Utimatun it's MUCH WORSE than the D3 actionhouse.

They could still sell hideouts. To use the auction house, just make it so you have to go to someone's hideout to pick the item up from their NPC or whatever. The only difference is I don't need to whisper a bunch of price fixers who never answer me back.
