Has trade been fixed?

They NEED to make an auction house in POE2. No price manipulation, no dealy no NOTHING. Just buy the things you need and sell the things you don't need.


NO ONE wants to engage with the 300th bot to change currency, no one wants to message someone who is price pushing an Unique just to lower the price of the new ones to buy them.

No one wants to log onto a Asian server and lagg the fk out for one minute till the trade is finally over :D

Not to be argumentative but there would still be price fixing in bulk, as tft and the like would just instantly bulk buy X to then sell back later at once at a higher price.

BUT, if you can't cancel a bid or an item that's been bidden on, it would at least stop the 'listed for way lower then normal to trick newbies' stuff.

It is just a win. I don't see any reason Auction/Insta buying is not a thing by now. ( Besides implementing such a thing ).

I doesn't engange with other people and have a good time, I just hate to buy my Twink gear from 100 different people and join some 500ping hideouts and at the end get that blind that I get scammed in the process :D ( Yeah I know, but don't let me tell you how many 5links I bought for the price of 6 links in the time I played that game )

And even if they wanna price fix, I can choose to buy the price that is the lowest. It would bring prices up and down at the same time. Down because everyone wants to push their T100 uniques and low currency items as fast as possible to not risk that someone underbids you, and make expensive and rare items more expensive because everyone wants to drive the price up high to get the most out of it. after a while it would settle in the middle but wouldt troll newbies selling their Headhunter because the first 5 are listed as 5C and they use Awakened POE Trade.

You know that feeling, when you put something up for trade and get spammed and blackmailed to sell fast af and at the end your stuff is just 5 times that expensive normally

No.

Trade will always be as problematic and inconvenient as Chris Waaaaahlson can devise because trade is for the weak.

And asian farm bots.

No they don't. It is not diablo 2,3,4,... and not trade simulator. Want to run bots? Find the better place.

No I want Bots to die out.

I hate that the economy is ruled by some 24/7 bots all day exchanging my currency. If someone wants to lowball every item in the game to scam newbies they should make it that I can buy the lowballprice so it wont happen at all.

Almost didn't play last league because BG3 was released and I finally finished PF:WotR.

So, before the new league starts: do we have a proper trading system now or is it still the same terrible "friction"-based mess like back in Crucible where we have to use a browser, contact 20 people for a single trade and lose map portals when we want to sell?

@GGG

May make my decision regarding throwing more money at your game dependent on the answer.

You need to let this go and make the best of a semi-bad situation with regards to trading. GGG has left it up to the player on how often they engage with trade - it is your responsibility if you absolutely hate it to only buy and sell higher ticket items and frankly do it when you are not wanting to be bothered. There you go. Fighting this will only make you unhappy.

And I can go farther by saying that trade has never been better, the players are better at it, the GGG trade site is way better than before.

cant fix what isnt broken

Trading isn't even that bad in this game. Just play SSF if you really don't want to trade. Someone says they just want to chill and play the game rather than spend tons of time on their tablet trying to trade... Well, just play SSF and don't spend time trying to trade. It seems like a clear, easy solution.

Because you actually don't want to see but have time to answer to the troll which created duplicate thread about the same topic.
