Anyway, I have become fine with the trading over the years. Is it inefficient? yes. Does it interrupt your gaming? yes. Can you make a choice in the matter? yes. Put it on yourself rather than blaming GGG.

This is the level of thinking in supporting the current system ... its a broken, terrible inefficient system, but somehow instead of that being GGGs problem to fix... uh, lets blame the players! yeah, makes sense.

That is rampant fanboi-ism.

(There, tame enough for you Kane?)

First if you are going to quote me do so with my entire post. Don't follow the bad example of modern media. Next, I am not blaming the players at all - I am merely pointing out that Chris Wilson is unlikely to change his stance on this so to have greater happiness in your gaming it is up to you to decide how you are going to deal with it.

Good question, all I know is that I'm playing ssf until there is one. I have very limited time to play. I'm not gonna waste that timn chasing down people on a third party site hoping that he/she isn't busy or afk. F that.

you'll spend far, far more time trying to get anywhere on SSF than the miniscule time it takes to trade. Also here's the official trade site if you don't want to use third party ones

Kinda amazes me that despite no any successful action house examples and massively failed one. People still think they know better then GGG.
And no console ah does not count whole console game is too hard to use or play already.

P.s.
Majority of the issues people have with trade are issues with it's performance and not updating fast enough anyway.

Console doesn’t count because it goes against my narrative, more like.

An auction house would fix most of the scamming issues. GGG loves their scammers so that'll be a no go.

I'm not so sure why people need an auction house so badly. I have no issues finding or selling items every league. Yeah, sure, you get those that don;t answer. If you use the official trade, just ignore those people and they no longer show up.

The only real issue is trying to buy low value items. It's not worth it for someone to keep leaving their map for a 1-5c item.

Whatever you wish to believe, but even with ah it is harder to trade on consoles then without it on PC IMHO. That part is however subject to opinion I admit to that.

I am happy that Path of Exile has no offline-trading and whoever doesn't like it can find a new game.

The irony of this entire thread is that an AH does exist in PoE... on console. Instant trading. Offline sales. No invites. No chat spam.

And low and behold: the economy didn’t implode or ruin the game. It is the literally the ONLY thing better about the console version versus PC. If they would give console players better search tools it would essentially be perfect.

ye please show me how you search for some custom rare prefix? i do believe you can't, so your statement about the perfect AH on console is just false and exaggerating

It's not perfect by any means. The search feature is limited, but in your example, searching for 1 prefix is doable. It will highlight all the matching descriptions which makes reviewing the items for sale much easier.

Where it falls massively short is multiple mods, like if you wanted boots with 35 movement speed with 80+ life and two resists. This isn't really possible in any reasonable way.
