🏚️ 💰 WE NEED AUCTION HOUSE NOT TRADES!!!

Once you accept that trading from it's very inception in online games was not put in for the player, then you can understand why many simply never or very rarely play trade. and that it would be best for all online games that have trade if it was just completely stopped, or was configured in a way that makes it only for the player and not for some other outside purpose.

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


But it is easy, if the people we whisper for the items we want would respond. It is SO easy once you get the currency the item is going for. It'll just be that much easier, more convenient for both the buyer and seller, with an auction house. It's a no-brainer, but GGG for some god-awful reason doesn't want to do that.

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:

If done right, I am down for it.
If its gonna cause problems, refine current in to something good.
But I would bet you could fight more RMT if it has to go through a proper Auction house rather than whispers.

Another game I didnt see mentioned in this thread that had a pretty robust trade system IN GAME was Star Wars Galaxies.

Main hubs each had Bazaars where players could go and browse via basic filters to find items, and purchase from.

You could also add vendors (from a skill/profession) in your home that drove people to spend TONS AND TONS of hours decorating their homes to show off when people came to shop.

That last bit I think is the best. Give us a reason to show off our Hideouts, and hell, make one of the dang NPC vendors that are currently useless in a hideout turn into a "trader" that players can manage trades through in their hide out.

In Star Wars Galaxies you would (in early versions) see the trade listed in the main Bazaar and then get a waypoint to go travel to the actual vendor location to make the purchase.

This would work in POE as well, instead of a purchase button in main bazaar, just have the swirly icon we use now to 'travel to players hideout'

Just my 2 cents. Likely not a simple system to implement but man itd be cool to have a reason to pimp out my hideouts...
+1 an auction house is needed
+1 Stop catering to sweats. Thanks.
Yeah, all arguments against an AC are as weak as an armour stacker in the current build of the game :P. It's is indeed 2025, its a NEW game. There is no good argument in favor of this archaic trading system.
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..
