Would you like to see an up to date currency exchange rates website?

As a player, anything to min/max the game helps win the game. This helps min/max trading for those who read it, at the expense of those who don't (it would have no effect on others who use the same tool). However, I'd likely be one of the ones who read it, so good for me.

However, from a design perspective, such a web site is essentially a cheat sheet. It demystifies the value of orbs. In the long run, this detracts from the enjoyment of simple farming; you're no longer finding an Orb of Alchemy, you now see it as 0.025 Exalts. The more people hammer down the economy, the more deterministic the game becomes, with everything falling into a value on a number line; the less nailed down the economy is, the more variance you get when trading, and thus the less certain the value of everything is when you find it. Ignorance is bliss when it comes to actually enjoying your loot.

So in the end, it's a tough choice, but I'd actually urge you not to put the site up. Let's play the game without advantages and man-mode this shit. It's more fun that way.

imho there are restrictions for such a table, it would need to be setup on the poe website so that
o ratings can only be allowed by people having an account here
o have a character over level 50 (or finished normal difficulty)
o can only vote inbetween certain time frames

it's not demystifying the value of orbs for those who use the currency for crafting. your argument mainly applies to traders and flippers which is a good thing.

it's a cruel experience for starters getting ripped off in the beginning by rough traders. and it's demotivating losing just in the beginning.

and it's the wrong thing when using google for "currency exchange rate poe" leads you to a rmt site in the first entry.

I'd personally like to see a more dynamic NPC trading system... one that adjusts to supply/demand and is penalized significantly so that player trades will always be encouraged.

Wow, thanks for all your great replies!

So, about the voting system, how should it work? Should anyone be allowed to vote? Or would you like to see a login-based system where you have to connect your account with your POE-Account and can only vote in a certain timeframe?

Ideas?

Don't misunderstand me. I don't speak about login data or anything else, just a link to your profile.
