Trading is terrible make a Auction house please

I think the scarcity and lack of easily obtainable exact items players want is a huge part of the appeal of the trading in this game. It's tough to get used to, but I think it makes for a healthier game.

There's 2 layers to "want auction house" and the original post put so few words it's impossible to tell which camp they're in.

For newcomers, the most recent PoE 1 content release added a commodities auction house. Consumables that you can stack, can be auctioned. Unstackable items with modifiers and other details, can't be - you have to go find a seller personally. There's room for debate on exactly what should count as a commodity but I feel the existence of some boundary between auctionable consumable vs specific item worked out well.

Commodities trading encourages players to grapple with the crafting system, since mistakes are easy to recover from. Asking for every tradeable item to be placed on an auction house feels risky to the health of the game.
