You should probably try reading some of those posts before trying to use them to justify your point, just a thought.


i did but clearly you didnt

anyway @OP. use at your own risk because once you get banned wrongfully or not, its almost impossible to get unbanned.

and no they dont want people using 3rd party tools,i found a post where they say it

What are you talking about? You don't understand your own comments?
There are 3rd party tools GGG allows. One is "Awakened PoE Trade" and for example "YoloMouse". Awakened PoE Trade only uses informations from the offical PoE trade side, but showcases these informations ingame via overlay. Even Chris himself confirmed this in a podcast.
Sure, there are some tools you probaly should not use for the safety of your account and to not get banned, but Awa PoE Trade is safe.

When you would use a trade tool with real makros (trading for you) THAT would be a ban.

If you read into several of those, they are banned for macro use because they thought it was okay. Those cases are rarely so cut and dry.

The safest route is to not use anything, but a lot of people use POE Overlay and it doesn't necessarily do anything that breaks the TOS that I'm aware of.

Proceed at your own risk because you won't get GGG's blessing on the matter.
Thanks for all the fish!
It's not bannable i don't think, it doesn't interact with the game client all it does is take the information and search it on the trading sites for you.
you can do that your self by ctrl + c an item then ctrl + p the same item to trading sites, we do that for PoB then is PoB bannable? the trading macro just does the ctrl + c and ctrl + p for you.

this video sums it up good even tho its a different game, i find this video interesting : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_i6mjiGerU&ab_channel=blluist

If you want accurate price checks you can not just ctrl+c.
It is 100% bannable if you read ToS btw, it is just likely that you will not get banned for it because it is popular and not that strong of tool.

I can do the price estimates from my head and be more accurate than macro.

For example you can have legion jewel worth 500ex and it does say "20chaos"
or your wand has +1 life on hit so it does tell you "5000mirrors" because some troll priced it at that.
Bunch of scammer accounts lists 1500Pdps swords at 2chaos and never sell, now your will be estimated to be 2chaos or less no matter the roll.


In the end the automatic price you get is 99% of time wrong, at that point what is the realistic utility of this macro?


But well, nevermind that I just remembered that this is exactly how i make currency every league, people underprice god-tier items just because macro does say "1alch" on 6link perfect roll uniques. So ehm pls recommend it to your friends.

Do not forget that poe trade pages also support premade searchs(templates) so you just add the numbers (and the numbers should never be the actual numbers you've rolled)

Like your 901pdps dagger may be found as 1000ex because you've put the numbers exactly but there can be 900.5 dps dagger for 10chaos orbs sitting there for weeks and your stuff will sell never or slowly. Meanwhile you could have upgrades and many item flips for this currency you got stuck in this dagger.


So just have one ring, amulet, 1 handed, 2 handed, bow, wand, armor, shoes template and fill that. 0% risk of ban, 100% more useful than macro because you will actually learn what matters, also prevents scams that the fake listings create.

How often do you realistically get something outside of such generic template?
Once per league with large luck? You can do that manually just fine(takes like 15seconds), and i'm pretty sure that when influenced gg item drops you will know that it is not worthless after first 2seconds. 158intelligence 90life amulet with 13% intelligence increase is just something that does not take genius to see that would not be bad for intelligence stacker.

"int" enter
"int" arrow down enter
"life" enter
type in numbers enter

if this does take you more than 15 seconds then you need to play less and type more.


While I agree with most of that, anyone who looks at the recommended price and nothing else is using it wrong. You can get the same prices you would if you had looked it up yourself if you know how to use the app correctly. Looking at other peoples listed prices or similar items, which it shows you, you can change the values of each prefix and suffix, or completely remove some. Its the exact same as using the site, just in game. People are quick to dismiss it as "inaccurate" when its the same as typing in those stats and items on any of the sites. Not accusing you of doing this at all by the way, just what I've noticed.

I personally stopped using it because I heard of people getting banned, and whether true or not I'd rather not take the risk. And looking the items up on ones of the sites really doesn't take much longer. But the app was completely accurate and I had no issues during my time using it.

Awakened poe trade does nothing that is against tos. It is not automated and not modifies the game client.
These are relevant paragraphs of tos
7. Restrictions: Under no circumstances, without the prior written approval of Grinding Gear Games, may you:
b. Modify or adapt (including through third parties and third-party tools) the game client or its data, other than in the normal course of PoE gameplay as permitted in accordance with the Licence.
c. Utilise any automated software or 'bots' in relation to your access or use of the Website, Materials or Services.

Regarding its usefulness - use your brain and game knowledge just a little bit when clicking checkboxes and ajusting numbers and you will always get accurate price.

awakened POE trade and several of the macro-shortcut programs that are in use by players, in no way modify the game. in that regard, they are allowed.

the bannable part, has always been 1 button press = multiple actions.

awakened POE trade is not a macro program. its not a game alteration. its an overlay. no different than xbox games or nvidia view, or any other number of overlays that take a keypress and do something for you.

if you read the rules, programmable keyboards and mice are also bannable. thats why common sense has to be involved as well.

when they do ban waves, they are aimed at botters, not players. they are aimed at eliminating scripters that have the game play itself.

some people just go down a slippery slope... first they use a macro for something easy, then they just use more and more, until they get caught up in a ban wave because they have been running merchant macros for months, etc.

we all know that most of the characters we trade with arent really players. we know they are scripts. they are more common than actual players. thats why you know they arent banning as much as they could. they arent looking for players. they want the scripted farmers.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is.
God damn, some of these posts are such conspiracy theories.

There are 2k members on awakened trade macro discord,

there is easily more then 10k user of that programm.

/But dont let it fool you, ggg is secretly banning all these players and deleting most of the posts they make, including the outrage central reddit /sarcasm


oh yeah and it really is extremly usful.
You pricecheck tons of items so quickly. Its basically always correct for high demand items. and it shows the price from poeninja AND the offical trade site, so you arent THAT suspectable to underpricing scams

The last version has close to 500k downloads according to their Github page, even if you take some off to account for people who downloaded it and never installed it and such that's a lot of users.

yeah there you go, i couldnt check

but that basically proves that its not bannable, because if it was, there would be a much larger community discussion about it
