I think the scarcity and lack of easily obtainable exact items players want is a huge part of the appeal of the trading in this game. It's tough to get used to, but I think it makes for a healthier game.
There's 2 layers to "want auction house" and the original post put so few words it's impossible to tell which camp they're in.

For newcomers, the most recent PoE 1 content release added a commodities auction house. Consumables that you can stack, can be auctioned. Unstackable items with modifiers and other details, can't be - you have to go find a seller personally. There's room for debate on exactly what should count as a commodity but I feel the existence of some boundary between auctionable consumable vs specific item worked out well.

Commodities trading encourages players to grapple with the crafting system, since mistakes are easy to recover from. Asking for every tradeable item to be placed on an auction house feels risky to the health of the game.
AH by Full Release or they lose this Exile.

There is no Excuse for it, Blizzard is doing better..


You clearly know your title needs it due to the bandaid of a site you have now..

Fanboys PLEASE sweat all over this comment.. you gents don't seem to understand the purpose of early Access.

I didnt play PoE1... Im a fresh take on the PoE2 Experience.. this needs to be fixed..
I see a auction house as nothing but a bonus to the player
1) They already said in an interview that there will be an auction house in the future (or rather an in-game trading system where you can sell your Premium Stash items), so there is no need to open a treat about it every other day.

2) They said, and I totally agree with them, that the most important part of trading is having a good search and filter system. That's what the trade site provides in a much better way than any other ARPG I know of, although the trade site for POE2 is not yet complete and lacks some filtering options.

3) This is just my personal opinion, but I prefer the trade site to an in-game only option. Why? Because you can live search for multiple items at the same time, while you play or even when you are not in the game, without having to run to an NPC all the time and enter your items all over again (which may require a lot of filters to suit your needs). There is nothing more tiring than a system like in Last Epoch, where you have 20 different NPCs for each item category and a search that is missing most filter options. I am also not aware of any auction house in Diablo that comes close to the filtering system you have on the POE trading site.

Yes man, I totally agree.

The best part of ARPG is to spend few hours Friday/Saturday evening, dealing with RMT bots with auto response, fake listings, afk, scammers and other shit.

It really make the game come alive, you know?

That's the first thing that comes to my mind, when I hear ARPG.
Who needs effective and easy trade?

I do not even know why those guys implemented currency market :(
Had so much fun dealing with bulk trades...

I am stunned. I really am.
