The only QUARANTEED way to balance the MARKET is to impose taxes on every trade item post!

+1. Taxes prevent clowns from being greedy...

13 years, that's a pretty damn slow death.

I don't see why any of this is necessary. Who is searching items based on them being most expensive?

All this tax system will do is push out players who aren't meta gaming the system. Now everyone must be in /global 820 leeching on castaway maps, running definitely broken strategies like vaal temple, or be forced back into the god awful p2p trade system (assuming that doesn't have tax) once they run out of gold.

And wait until we get another league like Fate of the Vaal where the market has been grossly inflated. Good luck to all of the poorer players who have to work that much harder to get an item they need that not only costs 10x+ more currency than usual, but also the gold tax rose exponentially to match it.

GGG thought they have a better idea and only to be humbled again by industry titans.

Studied at the Quality Learing Center...

what the f am I reading in this thread?
regarding OP's second point, too: Does he even know how the currency exchange works? Does he think, GGG imposes which currencies are being used as default for exchanging?
But seriously, on adding a gold fee for selling items: I think it's a good intention, but there are at least two problems IMO
1. Getting stuck on items you want to sell, but can't anymore because of a gold fee, would feel terrible. After all, you often HAVE to change prices because the market itself is ever-changing
2. Mitigating the new gold fees means having to playing more, paying for Castaway service or farming gold. The no-lifers will still come out on top, as always.

Thank you.

Ton of players searching based on top prices. Probably more than 60%. Not to find something in need. Just to compare quality between items found and posted.

OP has clearly never played PoE2

What an asinine complaint.

You’re a new player and dropped something good? Sorry! Can’t list it!
You play content that doesn’t generate much gold? Sorry! Can’t list it!

Already in 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 we saw just how bad it gets as it becomes necessary to buy gold (castaways / vendor trash) solely to even use the currency exchange and now OP wants to make that exponentially worse just because he can’t figure out how to use the trade site properly. Nice. Don't have 1 mirror? Set a price limit to 2000 divs. Don’t have 2000 divs? Set a price limit to 200 divs. For 2 clicks you save yourself all the frustration. I’ve not even sorted by high to low price this entire league and I’ve generated 20 mirrors just in crafting and trading. Wild how that works.
