Trade is so dumb.

[moody]

Been Direct Whispering so many people all day. Never got an Invite. Do people just not want my Orbs?

Need an in-game auction house. No waiting.

why would i even grind in trade when i can just work and pay2win my stuff

10 exalts are half a dollar right now

playing trade makes no sense, you compete with asian bot farms, SSF is the only way.

[Poyzo]

SSF is where it's at. Better chat room too, no beggars asking for elite gear for 1 orb. lol

I find it absolutely hilarious how GGG skirts around their whole "We will never make an AH" by forcing us to use an external source to do our trades. It just feels like the equivalent of 'I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you'

What are you trading? If you are trading currency for currency, you should be using the in game currency exchange. Are you trying to buy items? Is the seller afk, are they busy in game, are they short on portals while mapping, has the item already sold (sometimes the system lags, many items I sold poe1 only to still get offers for the item I sold 30 min later)
There will never be an AH in this game. Even the great Elon wouldn't be able to get them to put an ah in.

Trading would be best with an in game auction house like the currency, hopefully they change this!

Problem solved.

SSF players are the vegans of PoE in case anyone wasn't aware.

I was going to say something similar lol

But I do agree that the trade system should come in-game...

[Buggsy]

For uniques. Players run a scam by offering an item for an extremely low price, getting other players to undercut them, and then they can buy them up. They can do this because when they put their item up for sale all they have to do is not respond to offers and keep the item up forever.

Same thing happened with POE1, so you can probably ignore the first 2 pages of items for sale when you organize from lowest to highest. Apparently the devs think scamming and griefing is a great thing or else they would have found a way to force players to sell when they put them up for sale.

The game should just have an in game AH for item. Sometimes i accidentally not reply because of mapping

I posted similar feedback on the official forums. I hope they put in the work to add it because the lack of an automated trade system is wrong in a game like this and i'm honestly completely dumbfounded by them going halfway with the currency exchange but stopping short of the real deal.

It comes down to simply respecting your players time. The time saved by having it automated is so exponentially huge that there is no reasonable argument against it, especially with how clear it is that it could be done. People want to play the game, not spend god knows how long in some cases trying to meet up with people to trade.

New game, new chance to do things different. And almost a decade since that post. POE2 is not POE1. They've said it themselves more times than we can count.

Dude I honestly fully agree I hit up 10 people for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ belt like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I'm sure they'll add the very popular AH from the PoE league that introduced it

thats just a currency trader

[Hormesis]

if you're attempting to buy the lowest price of an item there's a good chance they have no intention of selling it for that price. instead they're hoping others will use it as a indication of value. then when they do, the person who has the item listed at the low price will buy it. i block everyone who claims to be selling an item but never responds to my request. makes trading much easier and prevents them from ever buying anything i'm selling

[opAw←G]

The lowest priced items usually get sold pretty fast, I suggest you try and just settle with the base price of the item.
