General Discussion - New Trading System IN MARCH 2014?! - Forum

This is only because there IS effort involved in trading. As soon as GGG puts in a convenient way for trading, no one will be able to sell anything that is not (almost) perfect. Then the same players will start crying: "I never find anything that I can sell for a reasonable price, ps improve itemization." The current state of trade mechanics (inconvenient and intransparent) makes sure that one can actually sell stuff. Be grateful for it. Economy did not work like that. There are Ferrari for sale and people still buy Ford Escort. Is this a real post? IGN: Smegmazoid Long live the new Flesh	Posted by JahIthBer89#0880 on Jan 15, 2014, 9:06:41 AM Quote this Post

This non-existing system is what makes the prices high and trade very difficult to do if you are not logged in several hours a day. An auction house will lower the prices and allow for more casual players to sell stuff much more easily. Current state of trade mechanics is non existent and rubbish and only allows heavy traders to raise prices on every single items.

Unless the same thing happens to a PoE auction house that happened in WoW/D3 auction houses. Flippers buy up everything and resell it at a higher price. This isn't nearly as prevalent with the forum shop system that PoE uses. But it could use an official indexer. Look, man. Video games are hard, okay?

Just look at what the auction house in D3 did: average and OK stuff will tank in price. For all intents and purposes it will become worthless. Since a casual player typically only deals with those items he will then complain that itemization is bad. He will never have a chance to sell enough stuff to get top tier items. Currently he can - if he puts in the effort and maintains a shop. All this has happened before. All this will happen again.	Posted by Faendris#5470 on Jan 15, 2014, 9:25:59 AM Quote this Post

And if it allows me to play the game more frequently, i really wont give a damn. Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes	Posted by Boem#2861 on Jan 15, 2014, 9:32:38 AM On Probation Quote this Post
