Most Important QOL improvement for 3.26 (for me)

I believe the most important quality of life improvement would be the addition of a proper trade system. My biggest expectation from 3.26 is an in-game trade system similar to an Auction House. The current web-based trading system is completely overrun by scammers and bots. Sending out 10 whispers and only getting a response from one person is truly frustrating. Also, many items are listed at extremely low prices just to appear first, but the sellers never respond to whispers.

Please, GGG, surprise me and introduce an item trading system similar to the currency exchange system. This is my biggest hope for 3.26. It may be a faint light, but I still have hope.

Give me button "delete all beasts" so I can actually enjoy hunting beasts and spend time hunting the ones that are worth a lot, instead wasting hours on deleting useless yellow beasts.

We already got a proper trade system for currency so the biggest problem has been solved already. Mark said in an interview that they are thinking on introducing a trade system for gear and other stuff as well, they just don't know yet how to do it. I wouldn't expect it for this league. Being able to use horizon orbs on Elder guardian maps took them almost a decade so...

If anything it's the ladder that needs "overhaul" since it's been in its same stage since the game launched. If you asked most who were the best players during the Settlers league they would be clueless to answer. Well, here's the answer:

HC SSF Settlers Ruthless - Delve

Eudaimonious#3720
TooLegitToQuit#7007
emilbeisser1234#7930


HC SSC Settlers - Delve

Ramses204#5905
Sigmar#2371
katterdot#6281


It's on GGG to promote and demonstrate their game is worth competing in, which means it has to have a clear ladder to access and navigate with a few buttons that shows who are the best. For the time being there's so many other softcore/trade leagues that one has to navigate through and then once selected open the EXP ladder, which has become irrelevant through the years. There's also no past achievements that the ladder tracks, like past league ranks and accomplishments.

In-game it's similar story and delve is the only ladder, because unlike the Gauntlet there's no pinnacle bosses ladder and for kills count during a certain time frame. As long as most are unaware (or don't care) who are the best within the community the game will not be as "rewarding" and attractive to compete in.

Without promoting the best players and giving them opportunity to make a name for themselves or even a twitch career through their in-game success the game will never reach its potential and be seen as more than just a game.

During the Affiliction league 60k accounts participated to compete in a 10 day singular, Gauntlet event and that's a significant number for an event that happens few times each year at best. As long as those players are ignored and to be specific that market is overlooked the game will also continue to perform poorly with twitch viewership.

Feel free to explain how delve of all things is representative of the best players.

lol its kopo, the wannabe streamer promoter.

and no, there won't be an AH, but inhale that copium.

Alright, I'll feel "free".

1) It's the ONLY other ranking ladder in place beside the EXP grind, which many players now max within less than a week.

2) You complete game content without ripping, you obtain loot from that content then go into the depths of Delve to see how far or "below" you can get with the loot you've obtained and the build you've assembled versus rest of the community.

Finishing the league at the lowest depth proves you're the best from anyone else who's chosen to compete with/against you in Path of Exile.

Just let us know when you are going to join that ladder competition then.
No AH coming this league, the currency exchange is handy as hell.

Right, so not representative at all. Gotcha.

I have a question regarding the "Map device" QoL they've teased. Can someone tell me why they can't just add a button when interacting with the map device that lets you open your actual stash tabs beside it? Instead of there being a small, dedicated "stash"?
