We players want an auction house

This. Having one place where all loot gets funneled is not a good thing for a game balanced around item drops.
How about making crafting more viable and pushing it as the best way (or only way) to get best items in the game. D3 learned it's lesson with auction houses - it's destructive. Even with such interesting crafting mechanics IT'S ALL ABOUT TRADING!!! And you people want to push it further with AH?
Came in to say an auction house is a horrific idea. Improve trade chat/search functions instead
Weak players want an Auction House

Fixed
The game does not adapt to you, you adapt to it.
Disagree, no Auction House desired.

How?

Only the noob-scamming, item-flipping bastards are against the AH. They are the only winners of this shady "trading system" that PoE currently has. No one would buy 1 Chaos for 40 Alterations scam if people could browse other players' offers with fair trade prices easily in game.

Oh, and the stupid D3 argument:
AH had nothing to do with the terrible economy Diablo3 has. The root of the problems were the single currency = gold and the lack of gold sinks with controlled droprate. As time went on everyone had more and more gold forcing the price of the rare and desirable items skyrocket.
But wait, there are people just sitting on their orbs, hoarding tons of currency in PoE as well! They crashed this economy easily without AH. 100 exalted for a legacy kaom's? Who has that much? How? I tell you how: scamming, flipping, hoarding orbs and not using them as intended: crafting. "Protecting the PoE economy from the AH" is a huge lie. They just want to continue stealing new (uninformed) players wealth.
- taking a trip to Belize, I'm so excited! -
We players DO NOT want an auction house in any way shape or form!

It is perfect the way it is! NEVER add ah! NEVER!!

The day this game gets an AH is the day I stop playing.
Wait, I thought we had an AH for this game? It's just not asynchronous and requires you to spend time to complete transactions. Oh, and there are very few auctions.

But yeah, there's an AH when there are stores that can be indexed. And no, I don't think this is a bad thing.

*shrug*

I get where people are coming from who hate AH and I see their reasoning (when given) as to its disadvantages. I just disagree.

You bring up a good point: auction removes a lot of casual scamming. But, this is a hardcore game and scamming is something GGG wants to be possible.
