I don't want an auction house. So your statement is false.

This is an action game; not a trading game.

Well, this just got interesting.

In a twilight zone kind of way.

So long as any "auction house" allows for the mutually beneficial exchange of any items in a true "barter" or swap-shop style, I'm cool with it.

If it's just an "items for orbs" trade then you might as well add gold back into the game and call it Diablo 3b.

no WE don't

Don't need an auction house, need a seperate solution to fucking bullshit trade channel.

This.

Improved trading maybe. Auction house...no.

They should have little booths to rent in the marketplace where people could set up shop and hang out waiting for offers as people browse their wares in special "items for trade" stash tabs. Let monsters respawn there so people have to fight them off while browsing. It'd be like a real flea market.

Hmm, seems like a lot of people ate this thread up.

First of all, I'm a HUGE fan of GGG. This is my favorite game, it's not even close. I post on the forums all the time, and none of it is QQ.


That being said....

I would approve of an Auction House.

Listen, in my opinion, the Auction House didn't ruin D3. The poor itemization did. Upgrades were obvious in that game. There was no diversity, you just upgraded the same stats with higher numbers.. for EVERY CLASS.

There is a lot more use for a much higher range of items in this game.

And honestly, they can limit it anyway they want. Maybe they only let you put 2-3 items up a time. Maybe they limit to how much you can buy. Maybe they don't limit anything. Either way, I don't believe an Auction House would ruin PoE. It would allow for more players to engage in trading and get a better idea of the economy. A lot more mid-tier would be moved, and I think more time would be spent "playing the game" then "playing trade chat" or "quitting because can't progress"

I'm not saying it has to be one way or the other, but would it be really that terrible if people could at least "buy-out" what you have for sale when you're offline, to accommodate playtime and timezone differences?
