🏚️ 💰 WE NEED AUCTION HOUSE NOT TRADES!!!

Dont know how much good it will do with Jonathan trying to take as much fun out of the game as possible, but i agree we need an auctionhouse. People keep applying this double standard to PoE2 saying we shouldnt have one because we never had one with PoE etc then in the same sentence say PoE 2 isnt supposed to be the same game as PoE 1 and things are going to be different. The current trade system is terrible and the devs would know that if they werent so disconnected and focused on pushing their own agenda. I can bet not a single one has made a character and played through it on their own without spawning in build enabling uniques or gear that they would have otherwise had to spend hours spam whispering people and hope that one of them will reply and not try to scam you.

I can't think of any logical reason GGG is against this other than them making money on rmt

Because they literally have it in their chinese client and can actively see it completely butcher the economy over there. Still possible to happen now without it, but at a much slower rate that can be corrected.

That's because loot/currency drops + crafting are abysmal. Instead of actually fixing the problem they think the solution is to make trading as difficult and annoying as possible

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

Only botters and RMTers like current system because its exploitable.
personally im for complete removal of trade of any kind, SSF for all, but with fixed ingame loot drops.
would be fun to see all those botter/RMTer faces if poe1 and poe2 would simply cut out any ability to trade.

give us an fing auction house. this idea of take 5 steps for something this easy is backward thinking. the people trying to price fix and bot and scam players would be cleared up quick and you don't have to try to go to the china servers and lag for 5 mins to try to trade with someone.

It is gggs responsibility to build as many systems into the game as possible. Current trade is a MASSIVE security concern as it requires the user to enter their personal data into a third party website to use.
This system was NEVER secure and is simply an amateur move based off laziness than for any real purpose.
This is no longer a case of we want the players to have tension but a case of it needs to be fixed before you get sued.

MARK make it happen !!!! Now is the time

even FG worked better for D2 than this antique dogwater trade system in poe !!!
its INFESTED with bots and scammers and time wasters


what the hell you want to be the next big arpg with this antique designss ? LOL
