Please STOP sending invites to sellers after sending a buy whisper

Please, please, PLEASE, for the love of all that is right in the world, stop sending party invites right after sending a buy whisper, or EVER, to sellers. Especially, those that spam invites 3 seconds after the message. Holy hecking crap. You really need to stop.

I don't sit in my hideout all day every day waiting for whispers. You don't know what the sellers are doing. They could be busy with something.

Like, you can't even wait FIFTEEN seconds for me to finish doing what I'm doing, open a return portal, and teleport back to my hideout before I send you an invite? Seriously?

Do you go to a restaurant, order your food, get up, walk over to the kitchen, and demand the chef to bring out food immediately?

I swear some people just think of sellers as some sort of soulless NPCs or something.

Agreed, it almost never happened in PoE 1. Most people followed basic trading etiquette, idk whats happenning in this game buts its constant and really annoying. On top of that, you leave the map and they instantly send you a trade request... I restrain myself and message them not to do that, never get a reply.

Lots of new players is what is happening, they aren't going to magically know all this etiquette from POE1 if they never played it or last played it 10 years ago.

It is quite easy to explain.

The majority of experienced players got to endgame on week 1, played around with it over Christmas and shelved this incomplete mess and are waiting for actual changes. The rest are clueless d4 refugees, or people who never really experienced poe1 endgame and therefore have no idea about any sort of trading etiquette etc.

One of the main reasons I left PC for console PoE1 when GGG added the trade board AH.

Now to play PoE2 I have to relive that what I disliked the first time. if I stay in trade league.

Easy fix for this is to have a trade system that doesn't absolutely suck.

AH would solve that and many issues but it's 2002 right? Wait, game had AH even 23 years ago.

Shame on GGG, what an embarrassing fail.

The trading is trash 90% of sellers are afk chinese botters give us proper AH this is such disgrace of developers not able to make AH in 2025, shame on them.

Also loot filter on 3d party site is also top notch ...

AH solve NOTHING, its easy for the 10000k bot accounts to raise inflation in less then 10 hours into new league.So u are done with campain ..found 2 divine... and can buy NOTHING.

I think the PoE veterans just have to be tolerant a little while here. There are tons of new players, many who have never traded. I think rather there should be an in-game infoscreen when starting trading which explains how its done most respectfully and efficiently. Maybe first time you open trade-chat or first time you send or recieve a trade invite.
