We players want an auction house

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.

Worst idea evar.

PoE is built around a bartering system. If you're going to restrict an auction house to only being able to trade orbs, you might as well bring back gold.

Any "auction house" implementation needs to allow the trading of any items(s) for any other items(s). It would need to be more like an automated swap-meet, rather than a traditional auction house.

In other words: put up an item for trade, see what people will offer you for it, accept the best deal, items are exchanged, everyone's happy.

No.

Not going to happen.

Don't want an AH? Then don't use it. Stop telling other people how to play the game.

It's not in the game. Your argument is fine, stop telling others how to play by adding the AH

WE players?! Title of your thread should be "I want want an auction house"

That's why I play this game so much because it has no AH and fair chances for all players to attain decent gear by selling in trade chat or posting in forums unlike in AH you'll find a lot of AH snipers.

No, "We" players don't. In future topics, please leave me out of your over generalized statements. Thank you.

I don`t understand people referencing D3 case here, if anything existence of auction house kept around some players that would otherwise ditch game that was just plain bad.

At the same time I can see how traditional AH would not fit in overall barter system we have in PoE. I like idea posted by Miszou :

-Any item/s can be posted as a 'bid' (maybe with possibility to withdraw offer at any time)
-No minimum, no b/o
-No current bid/s displayed
-Seller have to manually accept offer

Now that sounds like trading improvement to me...

This is amusing, as I could counter to you with actual in-game content -- "don't like trade chat, well then don't use it"

Your retort, as I understand, is that trade chat *takes away* from the A in ARPG; I would argue otherwise.

Auction house (well, D3's implementation, I don't think anyone is arguing WoW's AH) is a SEVERE detriment to the game. The "A" in APRG, as you say. People who are concerned about metagame rarely play the actual game. People who are concerned about metagame farm the same Andariel in NM looking for SOJ's.

This is an exercise in tedium; PoE is nearly flawless from an ARPG standpoint -- there's some room for improvement, and one of those areas is trading; neither calls for an auction house. A tool developed by Blizzard that the developers themselves have admitted to "hurting the game, because the legendary ping was too important".

I say no shit? GGG realizes this, they're ahead of the curve. You're Jay Wilson in 2002 saying auction house and total beta wipes were doubling it. Just stop bro.

+1 for auction house.

No WE don't. If you guys want an AH so much why don't you go play D3? Oh wait... ;)
