We players want an auction house

I admit, I didn´t read the whole thread, but I found that players don´t get a simple fact after the first 3 pages.

An auction house wouldn´t change anything about this game, as there already is everything what is bad about an auction house, but none of the advantages an auction house adds.

If one of the D3-dev-quoters would really have read what the devs over there said why they actually feel that the auction house has to be taken away they would know, the devs are not against an auction house per se, they just didn´t want their players to grab the feeling they could only improve by playing the auciton house instead of playing the game.

Well, this is already true for PoE, as the loot system in poe is in no way better than the one in D3, it´s actually even worse, when it comes to finding stuff that actually improves your char.

Then the carrot of knowing what great items are out there (khaom´s, Shavs) is also already there, you can find anything on poe.xyz

The only difference between doing nothing and adding an auction house would be the added comfort for the players, nothing else. It wouldn´t change a single other thing, for most of the players, maybe only for those who never visit the forums and don´t even know about forumtrading and poe.xyz, but those players are also very unlikely to see this thread, aren´t they?

Maybe there is really no need for an auction house, but there is a desperate need for either doing what the D3-devs did, greatly increase loot-quality, while reducing the quantity slightly, and thereby create an environment that is attractive with only self-found equipment, which would also mean to add scaleable difficulty to the game, so players would be able to enjoy the game, no matter if they were lucky finding items or not.

Or, as secondbest alternative, invent a system that makes trading much more comfortable and easier, I would enjoy a kind of trading post, a NPC that takes your stuff and sells it for you at a price you chose, no auctions, just fixed price, of course at a fee.

But one thing is clear, PoE cannot stay the way it is, an auction house based ARPG without an auction house. That´s just stupid, just like a butcher who refuses to sell meat.

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.
