The system is fine. The players are the problem.

I made this same comment in a similar thread - you can't fix stupid, and you can't fix corruption.

For every good intention there are 10 people looking to exploit it. Yes, I am old and bitter, but that is wisdom not just vitriol.

The only way to make trade work is to remove humans from it, and how the fuck does that work? Seriously, I am asking.

By not giving them any trade platform other then face to face. That will limit the amount of people they can affect and damage they can do. AH or AH clones give those leeches access to the entire population so they can affect economy at will.

This has gone on long enough... can someone edit the subject to read "epidemic"?

No, you're wrong and so is Docbp87. Both of you are wrong and you are really so old and bitter.

The people who exploited the trading system is the problem AS WELL AS THE TRADING SYSTEM which allows those people to take advantage of it is the problem.

And it can be fixed.

Read my post in that link above.


Best thing GGG can do is add a Consignment Merchant ala Dark Age of Camelot (old game now),put items on merchant ,price them ,buyers visit your hideout buy,you collect your currency when you log in.
Maybe in conjunction with a market/bazaar area if people visiting your hideout is an issue.
Auction House is a terrible idea as anyone who played D3 can tell you.

Irrelevant posts as usual and as always.

Nothing wrong with OP's subject title and you seriously need to have your eyes checked since you claim to be old.

And bitter too.

I was a full time crafter in DAoC. There weren't many of us. The consignment merchants really helped flush out that role. Maintaining a shop was a fun role. They ruined it with Trials of Atlantis. Free stuff that was better than anything a crafter could make. Game over.

Good Lord he was being funny, get over yourself.

I wish you could ignore someone in these forums like in Chat.
There is a very easy solution to this:
If pricing is x% or more below market median/mean and the trade message button(when player is online) has been pressed more than x amount of times by different players within x amount of time, the listing is removed.

so much stupid and butt hurt. its not illegal to sell game items at lower prices,cause if someone really wanted to sell something fast.they would get banned,violating their rights. i doubt any noobs sell their items for cheap,since they dont even use poe trade.
