I assume the majority of players in 2024 want an Auction House.

GGG doesn't want an AH for 12 years.

Could GGG have the balls to make a poll on twitter/X

and ask the players this simple Question:

Do you want an ingame Auction House?

Elon Musk is also playing PoE 2 and maybe he will make a poll on day, would be great to see what the majority of players want.


instant buy out already confirmed
And fuck Musk

I play PoE since 2012, I have the same hideout for maybe 6-8 years now.
And I usually don't care about ohter hideouts. I only want a fast trade.

Its like a nice House in Real Life.

There might be people who have luxury to impress people they don't like.

So I doubt that a majority is buying hideouts to impress the ones who come for a trade and leave right away.

no, trade is fine

I'm just intrigued why or how someone could prefer the current awkwardness over something that respects the players' time.


Because there is not a single game which isn't plagued by flipping bots and I do not want my gear to end up on that list as well. It's bad enough that currency ratios are all out of whack in poe1 because of this.

On the other hand, I would be more than happy to side with an item marketplace/AH/exchange/whatever you wanna call it IF the old system stays as is alongside the new system. Under the new system, gear would become bind-on-trade to prevent flipping and it'd solve 90% of the issues inherent to these systems.

Oh, that's on top of a high gold cost to both list and buy.

You want instant trading, I don't. I fail to see how the game as a whole would be better with bots dominating the last piece of the market in human contorl.



What’s it like living in sweaty Narnia? What control do you think you have now that would be gone with an AH that wasn’t taken from a time capsule in 1998? Unreal the delusion that some people cling to. Ofc the 40/40 crowd thinks everything is fine the way it is


I don't think it's fine as it is, but the alternative is worse than the current situation - without heavy restrictions and friction at least.
SSF is challenging because the quality of drops is very poor, so most people go standard, and this game has the worst trading mechanism in the industry and is the only thing I hate about this game, the rest is just balancing and releasing the missing content.

Once LE has buffed their end game, their better crafting and trading will pull me in that games direction which is a shame.

AH by Full Release or they lose this Exile.

There is no Excuse for it, Blizzard is doing better..


You clearly know your title needs it due to the bandaid of a site you have now..

Fanboys PLEASE sweat all over this comment.. you gents don't seem to understand the purpose of early Access.

I didnt play PoE1... Im a fresh take on the PoE2 Experience.. this needs to be fixed..
I see no problem with a auction house.

I see it as helping players. Nothing but a bonus
Auction house yes. Tie the existing search API into the existing exchange, grant somewhere between 20 and 50 auction slots separate from currency orders to use for items, and assign gold cost for listing auctions based on a blend of item level and affix quality, basically the same as the disenchant formula from PoE Settlers league.
The game absolutely desperately needs an in game, game currency only, auction house.

It would fundamentally increase everyone's experience with the trading side of the game.

The biggest improvement would be the complete elimination of the hassle of trying to message sellers and trying to get a simple response from someone.

Absolutely this would encourage people to interact more with trading through the auction house, and the second best improvement is that it would encourage trading for cheaper items and selling items in bulk.

We know you're capable of doing this, the currency exchange is the best thing that happened to PoE1 in years in my opinion, just take the next step and make an actual item auction house.

If it takes you hal a year, ok, even a year, sure, if you manage to have it on release that would be perfect.

Please, GGG, do this, do it right, and continue to work on the game systems and the game in general and you might have the best darned ARPG hack'n'slash experience.
