Want to trade, but nobody responds.

[Zag]

I am looking for a specific unique for a friend.
I look it up on the trade website and send messages to the sellers.
But none of them responds..
I now did this for about 50 times the last 24 hours, still no response.

Is there a bug or something?

i only did it once and the first i messaged was by me in 2 minutes so no idea.,

Why don't they make an ingame auction house? This system seem odd, at least as a new player.

Usually in PoE, if you try to ask for very cheap stuff many players just don't bother to answer since it's to little money for them to stop what they're doing right now. The more expensive, the more likely they will react. Though 50 is still a pretty big number. But sadly still possible for 1 Ex items.

And for currency that is traded very quickly it is also often already sold out by the time you try to contact them, but I guess tha't less of aproblem now that we have the currency exchange.

If you or your friend have that option turn on that you appear to be off line than the sellers will not be able to invite you even if you are online. Practicaly you block yourself from trading.

There is one planned but who knows how long it will be?

Also look on the date of item posting. People are lazy and dont delist them. If its 24h old it is a small chance that its still not sold. If its good item i mean.

i just send messages to trades set in the last 10 min, most of the time even seconds.

This was an issue in PoE1 as well. People are too busy playing the game to respond.

For a new game in today's world the trade system sucks.

I put stuff up for sale and can't be bothered I really don't want to have to go through the rigmarole of manually finding the item in a sea of things, to make sure Im selling it at the correct price, to make sure they aren't trying to scam me to make a tiny amount of currency that doesn't matter because I cant re spec because I dont have 300k and have dero desire to spend the next 10 years grinding gold just because I want to try something new and creative.

It's an archaic system and not conducive to fun. That's on the Devs.
