🏚️ 💰 WE NEED AUCTION HOUSE NOT TRADES!!!
" Yeah it is this gaslighting nonsense in every counter argument that actually made me in favor of a proper controlled in game marketplace. I simply want a fair trade system that doesn't involve dealing with other players unnecessarily, it is this interaction where 90% of the scamming and illegal currency selling takes place. You cannot sell currency if there are limited means in game to transfer currency to a player. In this case someone "giving away" a thousand divines a day would stick out like a supernova on the server statistics. Anyone buying in game currency for $$$ is banned (for a period of time) along with the seller (permanently). Job done. Giving your mate 2 divines once to buy something isn't going to flag. Someone giving 30 different random people 10-20-5-40 divs will flag in seconds. In fact GGG can pick up any builds (popular or not) that are fun and nerf them in every patch but they cannot find people who literally have websites selling POE currency that advertise though google if you do 1 youtube search for information on POE 2. GGG - We cannot possibly, it is difficult, it is.....BS GGG. Is it the whales that buy currency for $$$ and by proxy "support packs"? Seems like those arguing for "the bestest trade system in ever" seem to have purchased every support pack in game while the rest of the players are just to populate the servers to be scammed so whales can buy the currency, get the best gear and get dopamine hits for cash. Then say git gud with their 100 hours playtime and current meta 3 mirror build. I cannot fathom why the most convoluted trade system history is somehow "better" than a simple marketplace. You need multiple 3rd party apps to even value your gear. No sorry, not buying it as my birth certificate doesn't have yesterdays date on it. Always wondered why GGG make everything so convoluted. |

" It's simple. The game favors botters and scammers. The current trade system that is run through a website OUTSIDE of the game is MUCH easier to traverse with a bot program than something embedded within the game itself. It is also much easier to price-fix with a system like this since you literally don't have to risk anything at all, just post your item wayyyyy below its value and never respond to anyone asking to trade for it, price fixed. The lack of a "Buyout" option also leaves the door wide open for scammers swapping out the item with something that has a similar graphic but far less value, again favoring the scammer over the player. The only reason I can think of to implement an idea that is literally the worst conception of a trade system ever invented is to specifically benefit a certain group of people who can use that system better. There has never been any other game where you have had to leave the game itself in order to initiate a trade, and there likely never will be. Not to mention the poor console players trying to navigate a website with their controller....FBM |

" Amen to this 🙌🏽 |

Another reason we need Auction House is to prevent noobs constantly asking for Price Check in chat game like they don't know how to use Trade Website.
All these stupid questions about price check can be avoided if in-Game we would have a proper working Auction House |

I disagree compeltely i think this would ruin the game.
But maybe someone could mention an example for a loot-focused ARPG with a trading-house that actually made the game better? To me its rather simple - the main drive in this game is gearing up - if i can just do that with 2 clicks and probably never find better items even if i dont buy perfect ones - whats the reason to keep playing? I also dont get how ppl think manipulating the market now is easy and easier than with an AH. You can manipulate individual people better - yes - but not the complete market since its just too much work when you have to do each trade and i doubt there are many bots advanced enough to even do this in a smooth way. Also those Bots would probably be easy to spot for GGG. Last edited by VanAsgard#4613 on Feb 10, 2025, 8:08:07 AM

" POE1 originally had an AH when it was released on PS4. It was far simpler to purchase and sell items than it currently is, and market manipulation was extremely difficult due to the way the search results were displayed (in stash tab style pages based on age of posting). Your argument of "gearing up" is ridiculous quite frankly. You can easily choose NOT to purchase items, there is even a SSF mode to remove the temptation entirely. This is a non-sequitor. Your other argument of market manipulation is even more ridiculous. You obviously have no idea how much easier it is to write a bot program that crawls a website than it is to write one that works with an embedded trade system like WoW or many other games have. This current system is DESIGNED for botters. [Removed by Support] Last edited by Vash_GGG#0000 on Feb 10, 2025, 6:21:10 PM

+1 to this but i don't expect something like this to be implemented. GGG is pretty much stuck in the 90s
