Lower game audio while in background ...and marketplace (pipe dream)

A cool feature that I'm seeing more often in recent releases is the ability to deafen the audio while alt-tabbed in the background and does not have focus.

This can be done with a slider to adjust game volume while out of focus or a simple check box that would knock down the volume 50-80%. Bonus points if its available to toggle, or linked to directly, from the Escape menu.

Its nice not having to play the turn off speakers/adjust game volume/reload game audio doesnt work now/manually adjust windows and/or hardware volumes game.

And in a perfect world, a player to player trading npc/marketplace. This would be where some, if not all, items could automatically change hands. Starting small with just exchanging currency between players and expanding it to other items, perhaps?

The hassle of exchanging items in this (and poe1) with another player, manually, is literally the biggest pain in the ass I've ever experienced in an online game. Nothing about it is convenient, fun, engaging, rewarding. Everything about it, from having to get third party add ons, to searching a website for listings, to whispering dozens of people for an item, meeting them at their hideout, not getting scammed or Texas-switched, following proper etiquette before they just move on; I could go on, because literally everything about trade in this game is absolute dogshit.

Lack of a regulated trade/marketplace was what ultimately pushed me away from POE1. With all that being said, this game is peak - like 2001 Barry Bonds on the juice, and this rant/request is akin to entitlementedly (lol) whining that your new AMG Mercedes is not a Mercedes AMG Black.

GGG - You're the man now, dog. Thank you.
