Tradeboard and quitting query

Have you, or anyone that you know, quit playing due to pricefixers or generally from a horrible tradeboard experience in one way or another?
I suspect that alot have. I think that the number would be surprisingly high actually. Seems like a waste of potential GGG dollars over a couple of easy QOL changes.

Cant even buy a fugging tainted fusing, or exalt orb. All being fixed from the same account(s) League, after league, after league.

Its either the fixers ruining my fun, or its the other 90% of the people i try to buy from.

I ask how much on something....

1:No response, like ever.
2:rejected without being given a price
3:NFS message

Item, after item, after item.

10 years playing and for the first time i'm questioning myself as to whether or not its worth it to continue on?

I could go back to PC but ive grown to prefer it in bed with the controller, over the desk and mouse. Crazy right?

Feel free to add your thoughts on the subject. I know I'm not alone.

Rant over. Thanks for listening. Happy hunting to ya's

Hey, I feel your pain. I think a buyout option and a history of sales and prices would help tremendously. It’s mostly ssf in trade league.


Do we have a forum trade spot??

Yes, both platforms have a place under trading. Noone uses it though. The instant buyout would be a god send, but it seems it will never happen.

There's a game that is coming soon that i cant mention (Last time i did, my post got moved into "off topic" lol) Anyways its a PC arpg that is being ported to the xbox exclusively. I played alot on the PC already, so i already know that it will be that welcomed change of scenery that i very much need.

Hopefully when i return, something has been done to better the tradeboard. I dont know what, but something needs to be done. It is a miserable experience. I used to play SSF on PC all the time, so i thought of doing that, but then figured against it. The build requirements to do all content were much easier to obtain back then. It just felt like it would just be an even bigger slog than the game already feels to me lately

Anyways, thanks for not leaving me hanging and throwing my thread a bone ;) Happy hunting to you!

Totally agreed.

I'd love to play on controller and big tv over k&m.

I mentioned a solution in another trade, GGG could just remove faded item on trademarket from search and only display matched keywords from search, that will be hell of QOL.

Ya many have asked for that as well already. They want PC and console to be comparably as difficult to get items, so that all platforms hate it equally lol.

I think at one time maybe there was an argument for why trade was/is made so difficult, but now not so much. Gear requirements are so much higher now to do real end-game content. On top of that, how much more grindy the game has become with all the bloat. It feels like so much more grind, just to find a basic leveling ring with mediocre stats. Then when you do find one and ask "how much?" you are met with no answer for hours.

Well i dunno but im out for a good long while come the 3rd. I'm just one guy so it wont matter. 10yrs is a long time. Maybe its just me needing a break. I feel like its the games direction unfortunately though. I'll be back. Hopefully it feels more like old times when i do.

I'd be done now, but i want a squire shield first :)
