Please change the Trade system to the whisper and get no response system

I honestly don't care what GGG's logic is in keeping the trade system as is. I have very limited time and I genuinely enjoy the game. I've just wasted all available time I had for the next 3 days whispering people from the trade website and zero response from anyone. Most of the listings were made within seconds to minutes.

I find it amazing that if we want to engage in trade we must either spam a trade channel or alt+tab to a website to whisper players who rarely respond regardless of when the item was listed. It is a colossal waste of time that could be spent playing the game.

Instead of leaving this last play session with a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment I'm left with stress, frustration, and a desire to not come back to it. If that is what you are going for then congratulations you've nailed it! It just means I am not the target audience for this game and will happily go elsewhere.

Build the stupid system into the game and create and auction house type setup. Cut out all the crap that does nothing for the game.

Honestly, if there was some sort of pop up announcement/notification like when you get a party/trade invite we'd probably get more responses/chances to sell.

I don't know if I've ever gotten a trade request on the items I have posted because when you're in the shit the last thing you're paying attention to is the chat window.
Everything about it sucks.

The sound is easier to miss than PoE1
Bots are even more out of control than they were in PoE1
There's still no penalty for price fixing so your bot can snipe listings.

They have an AH now, so 90% of the utility provided by market bots is now gone. They need to nuke all bots and botlike behavior and also freeze accts for ignoring too many whispers.
Like if you get 10 whispers from 10 different players and you don't have dnd or afk set your item should be unlisted or something.
People are blatantly listing things so low they will never sell in order to allow their bots to snipe people who just list for the lowest price on market.

In reality, we are overdue for auction house, but they want "friction" because of "the vision" of selling microtransactions or something.
