🏚️ 💰 WE NEED AUCTION HOUSE NOT TRADES!!!

Currently: You add item in paid stash in order for these items to appear in Trade website. Player go to trade website, look for items and then send an automatic whisper from the trade website site to the vendor of the item. If player is online you receive an invitation from the vendor, then the buyer needs to teleport to the vendor and then vendor starts trading

Like WTF???? Why we need all that 🤬🤬? The whole process is unbelievably painful in all ways. To say that some of GGG team come from Blizzard Diablo franchise and doing the opposite of what was working in Diablo auction house before. But okay.

Expectation: We need a working auction house IN GAME not an antique Trade website. If I want to sell an item I expect buyers in game to purchase my items already without engaging me in whisper message and then to teleport to me to later start trading.

Stop this madness already and put some resources to build a proper Auction House in Game that works on all platforms. It’s 2025 dam it. We are not in 2000 anymore. Listen to your players and make this happen already 😤

Here is a good read why in 2025 we should have an Auction House:

+ 1 Googleplex.

+1 In a world with Amazon WTF is this trade system?!

Read the trade manifesto if you want to know the reasons why GGG wants friction in trading. I like the trading system. It works.

No it does not work. You need to wake up. I don’t need to read manifesto to see what the majority of players want. Tell me something, why it’s hard in 2025 to build an Auction House in game on all platforms.

I put my item in auction house, set the price and any interested buyer from their end press Buy button and set. I don’t need to be whispered in game and then later wait for the buyer to teleport and then send trade invitation etc.

As of now it’s not working. And if you think this whole painful process is working then you have some issues in your head. How on earth is this working according to you?

Diablo 2 had a working action house like decade ago. In 2025 you want to tell me that this garbage trading system is working? Are you joking or what ?

Trading I can do with my friends. I want to sell all my items in my stash as if it was in auction house and 99% of players here would agree with me.

I don’t care about some manifesto. This thread will be active until we get what all players want even if it will take few months or even a year. We need an Auction House here in this game period.

isnt that for poe1? also reading through the manifesto, literally the current trade system already breaks/goes against all the things they wanted. so i dont see how its even relevant at all.

most people want better trading, the current trade system is pay to use and should be much better than it is for the cost, the game would be better with a better trade system. conclusion, devs should make a better trade system and i hope everyone keeps asking them to do so.

I am trading every day and dont have to message hundreds of people for it. Maybe try not messaging the cheapest offers and be realistic in your expectations. The time you are spending raging in the forum, you could have gotten your item.

Read it again, one paragraph at a time. Most of what it said is still in effect today. Key words: trading should not be easy

You know also what could be beneficial from an Auction House? While I’m raging on forum as you claim, my items in my stash could be sold without me being logged in .

Your ignorance in this matter is just blowing my mind. It seems like you don’t understand at all what I have said in my initial thread. If you paid attention I said that for trades to happen currently both players buyer and vendor must be online. In Auction House I don’t need to be online for my items to be sold. I could go sleep and wake up the next day with a notification that items were sold.

But what do you know right? 🤦🏽‍♂️

The trade manifesto is a list of problems they believe will occur with an auction house. Problems they have put zero thought into how to resolve. So instead of them doing work they make players suffer. That was fine a decade ago or whenever they posted it but by now they should have real solutions. They not only have no solutions to the phantom "problems" of an AH but they have no solutions to this awful manual out-of-game trade process.
