In my opinion you inadvertently created worst trade system ever.

"

Well, engage real money to buy a selling stash when you know you aren't able to price item, don't know about trade site, don't know how the community works, the fear of scam, the lazyness about learning, etc.

And when i say scare, i also speak about people that refuse the old trade system because for them it's innaceptable to have to whisper a guy and expect a response, or have to interupt mapping for trading.


The premium tab is just price for entry, poe1 you get a whole game, poe2 will be f2p also. If people are not willing to fork out a few dollars for thousands of hours of content i don't know anymore.


If people are scared and unwilling to engage with the whole purpose of trade they have a whole game mode just for them aswel :s

That is 100% the same with the new system, only worse.

You still need to engage real money to buy the merchant stash tab, and you have even less knowledge of the price of the item (can't use a dump tab pricing method). You'll either learn you can use / or you'll learn about the website, there is zero difference there in that you just need to know it exists.

I guess by community you mean the "buyer goes to seller, waiting for trade invite" which is valid if that's what you mean. But, it's also pretty common sense IMO, no one had to teach it to me it just made sense that I would go to the person that is selling the item and they would let me know when they're ready.

Still plenty of ways to get scammed with the new system, Sir Gog did a whole video about potential scam methods.

Thinking it's unacceptable to have to speak to another person to conduct business with them is irrational, and it has nothing to do with being scared. Only the seller has to interrupt their mapping, the buyer is already interrupted because they are trying to buy something (same in the old and the new systems). For the buyer the new system may be faster (assuming what you want is available, and someone else doesn't grab it first) but it's still a break in mapping... not even really an interruption though, it's part of the game.
I dont know what youre talking about i can sell and buy stuff
The new trade system is fast and reliable and much much much MUCH better than prevoius one. Now I get every item i want to buy not just one in five because four people don't whisper back.
I can tell OP is an elitist.
Tech guy
thread can be closed.

trade system is fine, everything works.
This thread has made the least sense of most of the threads I've seen here. OP can't understand trade site settings initially. Then hides it calling it irrelevant when it's very relevant. Then OP claims they're should be tens of thousands of well rolled bows listed? What? Lmao.
I feel like this is rage bait 😭

But I will bite

A market has stock, aka how many items are listed at an instant and flow, aka how many items are listed or sold per unit time. Async trade increases flow and turnover, and high turnover can make the visible stock look small even if total supply over a day is large

Judging scarcity from a single look at the market is something we call sampling bias in economics

I'm not even going to bother answering the rest, there's so much nonsense that anyone who agrees with whatever you said in this post must be also rage baiting and it's not worth my time
