OFC method now has their shit bearing hands in poe with a "team" fuck method and foch their team.. Hope they lose every race.

if you thought that streamers were in top tier check for feedback most of the time when the game starts to get 'teams' for esports (lol in arpgs) the game will be turn for the worse, take WoW as example.

must be exciting as fan of any of the streamers play path of crafting with synthesis at least some are 'creative' and gamble with RNG.

Honest answers about trading wich i appreciate - However it just confirm i made the right choice by stepping aways from PoE and slowling down on playtime i wish to invest for it since Betrayal.

Not blaming you, just doesn't accept ( and can't understand ) your vision anymore, and the wall you built with userbase when it come to this subject.
Not sure what astonish me the most yet, the answer itself or the fact that you finaly found one subject you can't solve with your usual creativity :)

PoE has been a great run ( the best one ) and will be good memories in the futur but no matter what content you add current form of trading will always push me out after few weeks, no point to try anymore and certainly not going to support that. Better to stop on a mostly positive note without regrets.

Good continuation GGG cya one day maybe.

Peace -

Question number 1, in two parts, why is mapping completely pointless when it comes to good uniques??? 90+% of players can not or will not be able to reach or beat the top bosses in the game, where all the good unique items are locked behind. Is this your way of giving the 90% players the finger???

fairly disappointed in their stance on trade for maps/currency. the inconvenience aside it just makes us all reliant on bots 3rd party trade bots instead of GGG themselves. I guess not all heroes wear capes.

<wonders what life is at this point>

Years from now, when you look up "stubborn" in the dictionary, you will find Grinding Gear Games' logo, a short description of the Tencent acquisition, and nothing else.

"

It has been 18 months since you posted the Trade Manifesto. Do you still stand by it?

This question prompted a long discussion. Many hours of senior developers talking about trade. Our conclusion was: Yes, we do stand by everything we wrote in the manifesto. We are not adding a Trade Market to the PC version of Path of Exile."

So, I won't be playing in the future, trading and performance (that no question was answered so far) was the two worse aspect of the game, since the team is not interested in hearing the playerbase opinion on those maters, I will not play and spend money

It's a shame, it's a good game, but the development is not going where I would like

This is a really great post! Thank you for addressing so many questions!

"We are not adding a Trade Market to the PC version of Path of Exile. "

That is an awful joke. I really just don't understand your point of view on the trade system. an annoying inconsistent trading "system" instead of an auction house to make everything smoother, faster, better.
