PoE2 Trade System?

I realize the idea is to improve trade but this gold system sounds tedious as f... not to mention you may not be able to trade as you need due to lack of gold or having bought/sold too much in a given time period, or maybe you just got tired of picking up gold off the ground.

This is honestly working as intended. The ultra high volume TFT gonks who make thousands of trades a day are honestly not good for the game insofar as the vast majority of the playerbase is concerned. They warp item prices and availability in bizarre and unhelpful ways. They're not the intended use case for a trade system and limiting their involvement in general trading is a perk, not a flaw.

Items that are often traded in bulk, like lower-tier currency, will likely have almost negligible gold costs for trades. But the whole "I'm going to sell an entire tabful of five thousand scarabs" thing doesn't need to be a thing, and if people still want to do it then they can continue to use TFT, get banned every third day because the TFT staff is notoriously volatile and power-trippy, and then come to the forums to complain they can't do ultra high volume trading anymore.

I still dont see a good argument for leaving PoE1 trade so awful except them just being tired of the game.

The only problem with that PoE2 is vaporware until it hits, so its all nothing.

Their only real product... still has the worst trade system Ive seen, and I played everquest. EC tunnel was still somehow better than this.

Fir a fun experiment they should have frictionless trading so we can actually see how it affects the game instead of assuming its better or worse.

Famous last words. How about “harvest hysteria” or more recent “affliction drama”? What could go wrong…

A person sent a message to me for a good item yesterday and I didn't respond to it. So, because of my shitty personality their build won't work, and there is no similar item on trade. This is happening in a game with millions of randomized mods.

I mean, who cares players when the game is F2P right?
