🚨 PoE 3.27: Broken Trade Market and Frustrating UI on PS5

i have been begging for cross market for years now , i dont think it will ever happened , the community is simply too small to impact ggg , in other terms we dont matter that much (if you are an old console player ,you probably noticed it by now ) since there biggest focus is pc , and now with poe 2 even poe 1 for pc getting a bit less work (smaller updates ) so for something big to happen to console thats a bit wishful thinking

Honestly, what really gets me about this UI disruption, is the new form of trading. It literally takes so long just to find an item. In poe2 its not as bad, because the actual base of and actual base of mods do not exist ( yet ).


I have Purchased many stash tabs, i have also purchased a couple of supporter packs, because i believed in GGG's model of business, and i enjoyed playing the game. I even pre purchased Poe2, even though i think Poe 1 is fare superior.

The real issue that i have is this.
By purchasing products already for the ability to trade, the trade it self wasent broken. It was awesome, you could see the items, and pick which ones you would bid on. you could see what other items where listed as by just a click of button. This was very easy to navigate.
Now the general public wanted a Buy Out option. Instead of having to wait for people on the other end to accept the trade, they wanted a immediate by option.

Here is what really bothers me.
GGG's response. We will entirely re work the trade system, remove what is not broken, implement a very hard to use design for the people who have already purchased our product, AND will add this other option ( that this entire rework is based around now ) that provides this buy out option. Oh and guess what, well charge for this too !

Of course i complained.

Their response to this.
I still have the same capabilities and i have lost nothing.

But i have though.
I have lost the ease to which to trade. I have lost the ability to easily access to see what to list said items for. I now have to go through their new trade system OR PAY MORE to have access to their full trade system.

Anyways, my point is, GGG does not care anymore. You can clearly see their business model is changing. Make as much profit as we can, stop listening to our supporters, and implement new game designs to force our supporters to make more money.

Sounds like a Blizzard model to me.

Also we lost the merchant tab function on all premium tabs which we had before and the ability to use merchant tabs in ssf which we had before with premium tabs ^^

they clearly don't care about console players 1% and just focus on improving it for pc players still not understanding that on console it's a different game -_- 1 year before we get EA standards of greed destroying their game forever ^^

I noticed that you can actually use the trade website on your PC / tablet / smartphone, and as long as you're in-game, clicking the 'Travel to Hideout' option on the website will teleport you in-game and automatically open the Faustus window with the item highlighted.

It's not perfect, but much better than using the difficult to navigate in-game "market" browser...

they planned for crossplay, therefore giving us the same trade system and sony denied them and now we are stuck with a worse trade system having lost a lot of value in stash tabs and GGG refuses to accept that it was a terrible step for console and saying they are not capable to undo the changes ^^

If there is no crossplay the next 2 years it's probably better just to give us the trade from 2 years back ^^ as GGG noticed that it would be worse the way it is now and still did it you start to lose confidence in the company after tencent bought it :( everything is getting more money depending since then which is a weird coincidence
