Why isn't there a built in Auction House?

Whisper player - wait 3 seconds - make trade.

What's the problem ?

...wait 5 minutes? More like 5 seconds.
Try those with average listing instead of the cheap ones next time.

Another one duplicate thread. GGG added Currency Exchange. Yes, it's not auction but still something. People who ask to add auction are just bot owners or pretending they're not understanding how abusive it is.

I will not trade in this super antiquated system. I can order things from Amazon easier than I can trade in this game. The world didnt end when they added a currency board it wouldnt end if there was a real market board like every other game with player trading.

It's not like the world is flooded with t1 item that fit your build. Sometimes there is only one or two of these items and it's sadly not that rare that the seller is afk for hours or has quitted the league already. While I know that we will never get an AH I still understand why ppl would love to have one. Sure if all you want to buy is a random 6l chest just grab one of 100000 for 40c BUT the better the gear you want/need the harder it becomes to find it, especially when the league isn't fresh anymore. Right now for example there are things that I would like to buy but the only few available pieces were listed >2 month ago.

Always one guy trying to get something way below market value and complaining about a lack of responses.

Hey All,

my first time playing POE and i'm enjoying POE 2 but i recently noticed you can trade in the game and there is a dedicated trade page to find the item and person and you need to PM them in order to get the item.

But wouldn't it be better to just create an auction house? the trade page already has the Database needed for an the auction house to function within the backend they would just need to integrate it with a front end interface for it within the game? and honestly they could of just implemented it with the Currency Exchange or instead of the Currency Exchange it could be an AH.

It baffles me that the most common feature for a game such as an Auction house isn't in PoE. They really need to add one soon. Also ingame loot filter just come on.

Stop. You are making dangerous amounts of sense.

anyone remember how it was back in affliction?

everyone was busy INSIDE the wildwoods. if you wanted to trade. too bad. you had to wait.

if not, if the seller were running a breach, lab trial, delve etc then ooops too bad no sale unless they buyer is willing to wait.

also, while running those events. you could get spammed by players wanting your items.

also, theres the issue with sellers randomly going afk or intentionally ignoring trade as they might be having other priorities at the time.

also, theres the fact that some people just try to price fix items wasting our time scrolling thru the trade site to find actual sellers.

so what the fucking fuck is the fucking problem?

theres so many problems that exist within poe1's current archaic system and i really dont get why some of you gamers dont want something better and prefer something that is objectively a worst system.

ggg's trade manifesto main point was "we prefer you to play the game more than spend time trading".

in the current times, trading is crucial for trade leagues and the more time you spent trading, the less time you spent gaming.
