Will 0.3 Hardcore Currency Exchange and Marketplace now become unlockable for the league?

Please tell me this system is changing? because this hasn't been mentioned by any devs or asked in any interviews.

As it stands, in POE 1 hardcore, once you reach Act 6, you unlock the Currency Exchange permanently for the league.

But in POE 2 hardcore, you can *gain access to* Currency Exchange, but you never *unlock it*.

In Cruel, you have the town NPC's. In Endgame, you have Alva in the Hideout. But pre-Cruel, even if you've cleared the campaign 100 times, when you die, you have neither.

At the moment, this is especially frustrating because since the start of Dawn Of The Hunt, it's also been impossible to force-clear currency exchange listings, so some of us still have completed trades from last league that we can't remove, since we don't have living characters in the standard Hardcore.

If the current system remains despite the new NPC, this will also negate the value of the new Marketplace System for Hardcore. It becomes a detriment to convert Premium tabs to Merchant Tabs if we lose access to them after death until we reach Act 4 again.

The old trade system will stay as is.

So no new NPC or Merchant Tabs for HC?
