If they don't switch to an instant buy out option, they will fail. It's that simple. You can't keep using a bow and arrow because your afraid the gun powder will blow up in your hand. You get with the times or you get left behind. It's really that simple. Like it or hate it, it is what it is....

You do realize the original game is from 2013-ish right? Let me be the first to say, I would very much like to see them change to a more user friendly system, but that argument is bull.
It will not fail, it hasn't failed for the past many years, people even though they hate the friction to some extend accepts it and has for the longest time.

I sincerely hope that they do invest the time to find a better solution, but saying they'll fail if they don't, well, I don't agree completely.

I do like to trade to someone but not the way you come to someone from China having 5000ms ping, lagging, AFK or something else. Like WTF.

Bump we need a BUY NOW

10000000%

wouldnt it mean that basically gazilion trade bots will be put on place so u never actually buy something like u can snipe now?
buy now shouldnt be option but adding biding to items would be nice idea so people dont lowball themselfes becuase someone will overbid
maybe add both i dunno i feel like the way it is now is also really weak to bot attacks with offers

Buy now is bad, just one missclick and ur item is gone.

Trade System is fine, it's just annoying that some ppl dont respond, we just need a reputation system for that.

So let me get this straight. A buyout option, like one that's available in any modern multiplayer auction house, is bad. But a system somehow based on reputation from responsiveness to trades is a good idea? PoE players really are built different.

Bumping. We need an auction house definitely. Anyone who is against this idea are mostly the once who are scamming in game.

Not sure if it's been said yet as there are so many posts, but the current "trade" system is HEAVILY biased toward botters, scammers, and other less-scrupulous individuals posting items but never actually selling them to trick others into posting theirs for far less than they're worth.


The original PoE1 on PS4 came with an auction house system. It wasn't perfect, the filters were weak at best, but it DID let you purchase the item directly, and it DID allow players who only get a few hours of online time per day to actually sell some of the items they found since they were almost always offline when the trades happened.


The only reason I can see that GGG would have changed that original system is because they themselves wanted some sort of advantage within the game. The people designing the systems are the same people who are exploiting it for profit. They are very likely the RMT players spamming messages that they are selling orbs, AND are also very likely the same players who keep hiking up the prices of end-game gear to beyond farm-able prices so that players are actually FORCED to RMT orbs in order to get the gear they need to be viable in end-game content.

From what I can see it is a very sick and predatory system designed and implemented by a pseudo-criminal organization specifically for the purpose of exploitation and coercion of their player base.


If GGG continues to refuse to put in a fair trading system I can only assume that my above assertions are correct and GGG Devs are likely the ones scamming their own player base daily.


TLDR - DON'T RMT ORBS
