Insta Buyout is terrible
|
The terrible hideout teleport times have made it very obvious that the insta buyout feature where people need to go into other people's hideout is a terrible idea.
I keep getting taken hostage by the loading screen, sometimes sitting there for minutes at a time just to try to buy a tablet. I see no reason why you can't just buy the item off the trade site or in game trade UI and it gets directly sent to ange's remove-only tab space. It's the least you can do after effectively reducing the usefulness of all the premium tabs you made your player base buy in the past that are just as good as storage space now.

If you think bots can snipe items before your computer loads a hideout, just wait and see how fast they snipe items when there's no loading or delay.

The problem isn't my "computer", or bots, it's a design issue. There are plenty of ways to deal with bots, such as throttling the deals they see or punishing them in other ways. Clicking "Instant Buyout" and waiting there for 2 minutes just because the trade system can only sort by price and has no concept of latency from realm to realm is a problem. Nothing instant about it.

It's not perfect but WAAAY better than it used to be.
What they should do now is a short auction (5 minutes is enough) every time an item is being put for sale. So interested parties could bid against each other for a hot lot. It should somewhat slow down the snipers and form more adequate price for misprised items. The way campaign should be played by your second and any subsequent characters: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3772827

" Thats literally what Auction Snipers are known for. They wait until the last minute of an auction and snipe it for as low as possible. your solution would actually INCREASE Auction Sniping , not reduce it. The Current Implementation is quite perfect.

" i actually not agree, people should be given an option to give bidding war for some minutes so even if there is a item with price they dont know its still sold for somewhat fair price not bought out by bot the second it shows up |

no. the instant buyout is one of the best feature

" Maybe that the game is 14 yo and they didnt even redoo the motor or the game to release poe 2 maybe... |

" +1 Half of the people in poe just sitting in trade window fliping items and in currency exchange flipin items and in trade chat fliping... You have to compete agains hundreds of people waiting to right click spamm or even with bots scripted... And GGG does not even care a single 1% hahaha Thousands of people scalping prices in the currency exchange xD You can literally see how many they are by the bids they put in all the same products at the same time at the same price xD Last edited by Rastei#2657 on Jan 12, 2026, 6:54:22 AM
