Sony PlayStation Item pricing is out of control
|
The amount of currency people are asking for their item's is totally ridiculous.
What goes for 2 chaos on PC is sold for 80+ chaos on PlayStation. I see items selling for 20 chaos on PC and they sell for 1 divine on PS. Not even Xbox is selling their items at such ridiculous prices. I understand that PC has a bigger group of players so yes supply and demand comes into play. But that is not the problem here. There is a lot of supply for the items I search, it's not like they are just a few listed. It's just greed and ignorance. This is the worse pricing I've seen on PS in the last 5 years that I've played. It makes the game un realistic to play and gear your character. I am surprised that PS has a fan base at all at this point. If you don't believe me go on POE trade and flip between all the PC, Xbox and PS and see for your self.

This is part of the reason I wanted them to restart the league after the false start.
I fully believe the f'd economy we have is a direct result of a portion of the playerbase getting a 12+ hour head start. (And a smaller portion getting a 7+ hour head start). Our economy is always different than PC, but I actually like the size of it. If there were a solution implemented to prevent or punish pricefixing and other market manipulation, it would be really nice. But this league is way worse than usual, as you say.

Economy is always awful no matter if the league started earlier or not. I never understood how in smaller population with less currency you can ask a bigger price ( yeah, shortages, but still).
If there was a way to migrate to PC from console, I would do it. I dont want to spend the same amount for mtx as back when I started playing i didnt have a decent PC. Last edited by TheDeathDeal_777#9382 on Jun 20, 2025, 6:53:31 PM

How could people getting a 12 hour start not effect the economy 🤣 they were in red maps when we got to long in. Imagine the stock market got a reset you were 12 hours late, yeah you're screwed, now Imagine it's everyone that's late, now you have the actually economy and no one wants to play a getting f#$%@! bc they didn't actually test the league twice in a row. Beat the new bosses got most the new uniques have a 95 guardian, 92 saboteur, and a 92 champion. For mercs I'm just getting petty loot, for kingsmarch seems like you farm gold instead of divines so you can fund kingsmarch to send shipments to get the divines that used to drop pre-settlers. Worse league retention in several years and seems like after a week its just an above ground pool league, I'll get my feet wet but I can't really dive in.

" Why would you care for other markets? Its not like we share the same as PC. Furthermore were you even around when the release for consoles was 7 days after the PC? |

What an ignorant reply. Yea I was around when the delay was a week after PC. That has nothing to do with what we are talking about. The point of this thread it to point out the ridiculous pricing and price gouging we endure to try to even function in this game. A ton off us couldn't log in till the next day, and the pricing is the worst I've seen in the 5 years I've been playing. I'm glad you don't care about the cost of stuff, good for you.
