An AH would not work in this game ffs. Blizzard is taking it out of D3 for their xpansion, and if greedy money hungry blizzard realizes something how are people so dumb to believe that an AH would work in PoE

yo, the trading system in this game is perfect, no need for stoopid auction house. with an auction house, all the stuff u sell for 2-5 chaos would worth nuffffin. not even 1 alch

I'd like an easier way to trade items in game.

If an AH is the only way to do it, then I'm fine with an AH.

I'd really like to see someone come up with an alternative to Auction House (other than the existing trade channels/private messages).

There has to be an easier way to trade items.

no, and if you think so this game is not for you...

this game is not about trading items its about killing shit...

if you want to trade items get some sim game or w/e... D3 seems to a hybrid you are looking for

I consider trading as a last resort... for something i really need... not to gear up 100% with and then do what? more trade? flip items and keep trading? wtf ppl

To bad drops seem to be balanced around trading just like d3 and the ah, people wouldnt be asking for a ah here if they could find there own shit. Thats what you people dont get GGG balanced drops around trading, yet trading is hassle that most dont want to bother with. So we are stuck with crap drops and are to poor to buy anything because wealth comes from trading.

Talking to this community is like pissing in the wind.

All just posting crap because its ibase who posted the topic.

An improvement to the trading system is very much desired and GGG themselves have said they are working on it.

my concept of how POE trade system should is not far from AH in execution but far at the same time in negative results

having a window screen that has a market on it with a
- search function like POEXYZ
- B/O and C/O only as reference(players still have to pm eachother)
-offline/online status with recent log stats ( which time x player plays most)
-comment from Owner about the item

In general... this would be a matchup between POEXYZ and Forums in The game itself

The real problem here is terminology. Prior to Diablo 3, if you used the term "auction house" in a word association, the average ARPG player might say something like "Sotheby's;" now, they're more likely to use the term "buyout." So let's clarify.

In terms of the auctions themselves, we already have those: those threads in the Selling Forum are essentially unlimited-duration auctions, where both buyer and seller can pull out at any time. Thus, it would be kind of crazy to be against a feature which allows you to do the same thing in-game, assuming that the ability for both buyer and seller to pull out at any time was maintained.

In terms of searchability, we already have that: third-party shops indexers. This is the kind of feature that will be available regardless of whether GGG wants it to be or not. Thus, it would be kind of crazy to be against features which allow you to make items searchable and search for items in-game.

In terms of instant buyouts, we don't have those, we don't want those, and it would make things even worse than they are already.

I'd like to conclude this in some way, but OP is the kind of jerk who would quote people out of context, so I'll just conclude with fuck Diablo 3.

AH could work this way:

1. Players search for an item.
2. Item has its b/o price -> if the player has enough currency, he pays for it and gets the item (I think some kind of a special stash tab should be implemented for that matter).
3. Buyer checks his auction tab and grabs an item.
4. Seller checks his auction tab and collects his money.

2.1. If there is no b/o - then u set a c/o and wait for a seller's decision.

To avoid any errors, misclicks or inconvenience, players should not be able to operate with any items placed outside that auction tab.
