Announcements - First Wave of Trade Improvements - Forum

This coming from a group of developers who interact regularly with the community, put out updates/patches/expansions at a healthy (for the game) speed, and genuinely enjoy working on the game. I think it's fair that you pay $1.50 to use the new, excellent trade upgrades. Or wait until they're on sale, and it's even cheaper.

Jesus fuck people. "Pay to Win confirmed" "p2w" STFU PoE is FTP but it is still a business. Stash tabs are a great way for GGG to earn the money to keep the game going. Trade was never any good without a bunch of stash tabs anyway, and the four standard tabs you start with fill up pretty quickly. People should really quit crying and maybe just be thankful that trade tabs arent an entirely new type of stash tab. $25 US for 4 trade tabs is an announcement we COULD have seen, and GGG would have been totally right to play it like that.

GGG walks a fine p2w wire with this implementation. Can't they just be a little generous about it?

And i was wondering why are they buffing everything. They are just slowly making stuff p2w and they want to make people happy first. GGG, you guys know that you can just put these buttons on a regular tab too, right? Dont get me wrong i support you and bought tabs too but what does 'you have to buy premium tabs now' mean? It's basic trade system, and it's only available if you pay the right price...	Posted by ugurxay#6584 on Feb 29, 2016, 11:02:02 PM Quote this Post
You can also still ues acquisition which takes about 2-3 mins to learn watching a youtube video, only disadvantage will be slightly slower indexing time i think.	Posted by Fhark#5469 on Feb 29, 2016, 11:02:54 PM Quote this Post

" I wanted to write because some seem to be confused on what the trade API does for buyers. As a buyer, you certainly use poe.trade. This API upgrade makes it so you have: A) Access to a bigger seller pool, as more people will sell their items now that they don't need a 3rd party app that they have to look up instructions to install and run properly (and debug if something goes wrong). I know a number of people who don't use Procurement/Acquisition for these reasons. B) You'll know when people are actually online, opposed to just telling the forum indexer that they're online (when they aren't) via another 3rd party tool. This is huge for buyers. Now, if you don't want to use poe.trade and are only interested in trading via trade chat, then...sorry. The only logical conclusion as to what you want is an Auction House, a fully in-game UI that removes the player interaction from trading, which GGG has stated they won't do. So yeah. This is huge for buyers and sellers. Exactly and I am rly surprised that there is so few comments about this, its really huge for the economy imo. Anyway I genuinely think that ggg isnt trying to make money here (even tho they will obviously sell more premium tab) but that they are just trying to reduce the impact of this feature on the economy (and i expect the feature to be accesible for everyone in a few months or earlier with a normal tab upgraded to a premium one for example).

How about you be a little generous and support GGG a bit? Why should they provide you with free everything? If you're gaming, you have some money at least, don't get take out one day and buy the damn stash tabs.	Posted by SuBw00FeR#3864 on Feb 29, 2016, 11:04:33 PM Quote this Post

And you're giving your login information away. Not if ur using session ID ;) Trying to satisfy the whole PoE community is like telling a nymphomaniac to only have sex once in a week. I think that's fairly accurate. :')	Posted by Zahkriisos1337#4785 on Feb 29, 2016, 11:09:06 PM Quote this Post
