Feedback on campaign + special pov on trading

Hi,

this is my first post on this forum and I'm not native english speaking.
Please be patience with me and forgive me when i need to explain something
because i do not have the vocabulary to make a sentence short...

This is a two part feedback – with adiffrent PoVs.
Most feedback came from „nerds“ – people who have multi-thousand hour of playtime in either POE 1 and POE 2 or/and other ARPGs.
I myself would call me a „noobie“ with just under 1000 hour in PoE and some expierence in other ARPGs.
And because i knew the nerds ( <3 ) would do a lot of endgame feedback, i took my time to have a look at the campaign and possible problems i would encounter if i were completly knew to the genre (Newbie).

Campaign „Problems“ and ideas how to solve

1. The first Boss encounter
The Bosses are brutal, as they should be. I love it, nothing to change here. BUT it could be the first filter for newbies to stop playing and enjoying the game. I remember very well my first encounter with ARPGs (D2) and why it took my so long to come back to this genre. No one explained to me the concept of farming. I know you think it is common knowledge – it isn't.
The solution: make it part of the tudorial.... something like that:
killed x times by the boss....notice from the tudorial „kill more monster, find better gear, level up“

2. Support Gems
Nerds do know all the gems by heart, noobies are looking into builds, made by nerds. As a newbie they have nothing at hand and may be used to a selfexplaining games. And to be honest, the supportgems suggestions are... easy to understand. But, nothing in this game is really easy. In the moment a gamer want to experiment with diffrent gems – a newbie is lost, I am lost even with buildguides (headaches incoming^^). The biggest Problem here is the compatibilitylist with the skills is only availible after engraving.
The solution: compatibilitylist before engraving or option for „alls gems compatible with selected skill“.

3. Crafting
Regal Orbs and Exalted Orbs for crafting are too rare in the campaign. As a newbie or noobie it is an archivement to get through the campaign and higher tier waystone and pinnacle bosses are out of reach. My main char currently is in T8 – i had 3! devine orbs. Two of them i exchanged for Exalted Orbs. Overall i had 250 to 350 Exalted to work with – thats nothing, if you really want to experiment with crafting....
I know, i know. I could sell stuff on the trading market.... coming back to this point.
For me, i can't say if the game wants me to craft my stuff for myself or for the trading market. As a newbie i would go for crafting for myself.
The solution: more Regal and Exalted Orbs, easy doubling the amount in the campaign if you want to have more player crafting (Devines only in maps?).

4. Waystone availibility
After the last patch i saw a good uptick of waystones in the 3rd act cruel and i didn't look into how many low tier waystone are dropping now in the maps. Despite it i want to adress the solution i thought about on the situation before the patch.
It would be a easy solution to let Dorjany sell white waystones in the correct tier as the atlas missions ( f.e. „finish maps 3+“, map tier 3 always availible at Dorjany).


Part Two – The Elephant in the Room or The Trading Market Situation....

This needs a „little“ bit of explanation.

I AM aware that a lot of Gamers like it as it is.
I AM aware that a lot of Gamers are used to it.
I AM aware that a lot of Gamers enjoying the contact to other Players.

And I AM aware, that this Problem could be solely a „me problem“.

I am diagnosed with
Depression
Insecure Personality Disorder
ADHD
not diagnosed, but surly i am introvert.

I do NOT enjoy having to deal with unknown persons.

In PoE 1 I bought one item – I had to deal with anxiety and panic attacks for the rest of the day in real life. The transaktion was ok – no bad things happend, i just freaked out. This might be funny to read, but it doesn't feel funny.

This is about AWARENESS of a Disability and how it hinders me to enjoy the game in fullest.
I am unable to use the Trading Market as it is. I can not buy or sell stuff. I am dependent on people to buy stuff from or sell stuff to the market – and that is not fair to them. And i am relativly sure, i am not alone.

And yes, when writing this, i do have anxiety, when you are reading this (because i posted it) i will have a full grown panic attack. But I believe it is important for you do know there are peoples with this kinds of problems out here.

This complete text is growing in my head for weeks now and i thought about a solution for everybody. The discussion to include the Trading Market into the game doesn't seem an easy solution and to be honest, i think it would unnessesery blow up the game. I believe its fine on the website, a vendor to open the website for newbies and convenience would be nice.

A option button for direct buy out on the seller stash and a addtional selection in the market (additional to online, offline, afk) would be absolutly sufficient.
The nessesery functions should already exist in the trading funktions ( „hovering over the items“ → could be reused as „direct buy out“ function for the seller and „buy out“ in the Market would be „accept the trading“). And of course I dont't know how the functions are written, but I think you understand the principle.

With this option a seller also could sell when he/she is not online or don't want to leave the maps. Also bad tradings could be avoided.
And people like me could also buy or sell...
And it is an option – players who love the way it is can do so.

The only thing I thougt about but i do not have a solution for is when sellers want to „test the waters“ how much something is worth.

FOR COMMENTATORS:
Please comment. It's ok to have a diffrent opinion and you don't have do be extra nice to me, just keep it factual and fair.

Thank you
