I gave a negative review of POE 2 on Steam in order to protect innocent people from scammers
You can see the review here, it is well deserved if you ask me.
It pains me to do this as POE 2 is the game of my dreams the perfect game but so long as new players innocent people keep getting scammed and GGG ignores it or encourages it my review remains to protect these people. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028089836/recommended/2694490?snr=1_5_9__402 Last edited by KingHadu#3474 on Dec 27, 2024, 7:27:01 PM Last bumped on Dec 29, 2024, 6:43:30 AM

tl;dr he wants an auctionhouse very badly.
the scam part didn't hold the road too well. |

" Is that why every front page of Reddit top upvoted thread is one where someone gets scammed? I remember well when GGG said they only take feedback from Reddit because the upvote system was the only reliable way to gain real feedback from the community. Now that they realized an Auction House is what the community actually wants but it will eat into their HideOut MTX profits suddenly conveniently Reddit is no longer trusted, how convenient. POE already has an Auction House it's called currency exchange, usually people who post here with reasons why we don't need an Auction House are those exposing themselves and their true intentions.

even if they did add an AH, it would still have same issue you're talking about? wouldn't the bots then just update their scripts to fiddle around with the prices?

" Impossible, the auto buyout option of the current Auction House has prevented exactly the same issue found with item trading. Nobody is able to do price fixing scams anymore because the minute you advertise that you are trading a divine for a chaos it's gone. Scammers can no longer post fake listings of currency items for sale tricking a new player into thinking their item is valued at less money only to buy the same item from them and flip it. The other scam that is no longer possible in currency exchange is the trade cancel bait and switch scam. Additionally you are also no longer able to post fake listings for the purpose of trolling etc The currency currency AH has solved practically every issue associated with trading currency in POE As a side effect it cut into the profits GGG was making selling HideOut MTX they realized if they made a Auction House for Items there would then be 0 player to player interactions and nobody would have any reason to buy these useless HideOuts MTX at that point. This would have been fine with POE 1 since it's a free game, a million people bought POE 2 for actual money it is by every metric a paid game so making bad game design choices that rewards scammers just so you can sell HideOut MTX in a paid game is a scummy move reserved for companies like Blizzard. My negative review remains until such time that GGG starts putting the interest of players over corporate profits. I will continue doing what I can to protect innocent people from scammers Last edited by KingHadu#3474 on Dec 28, 2024, 12:28:46 AM

" Yet they control this website but haven't ever tried to implement something like that in 12 years. It's beyond comedy. |
|
" They can't implement some of the most basic QOL in POE that is found in countless other games highly doubt they could implement something like that on this website They don't even have a POE 2 character integration on this website. It took them what 13 years to implement a halfassed Currency Auction House. Might take another 13 to implement the Item Auction House. Only reason they did the currency auction house but then called it currency exchange to avoid using the term "auction house" is because people got so tired of the price fixing scammers to the point where 70% of items on trade people wouldn't even respond it reached a point where people were just abandoning the game so they had to do something.

Well it isn't even possible to scam prople in POE! You hover over the item that you get and see exactly what you are paying for. If it is the wrong item you simply do not press ok.
And price fixing isn't a scam. No one forces you to pay stupid prices for stupid items! If you can't figure out the value of an item just take a look at poe ninja to get at least a rough idea. Edit: And believe it or not there will NEVER be an auction house because no one would buy a single hideout cosmetic ever again. Same reason why we are not allowed to login at our hideouts because people who pay a lot love to show their cosmetics. Why would they kill their own business modell?

" its got nothing to do with corperate profits and it has nothing to do with scamming. you want an auction house, they dont, i dont, lots of people dont. just make a feedback post saying you want an auctionhouse and stop trying to weight your arguments with all this childish bullshit. no ones buying it. |

This review is absolute twaddle but I think the OP's finest hour is the scathing review of Lost Ark after 900 hours played which said deleting the game was the best thing in their life they ever did and then they played it for another 400 hours.
