Such Auction House would have direct buy out without waiting 3 days. You are confusing what the request is. We are not talking about putting an item for auction. We are talking about a system in game where people can put their items for sells directly without waiting any interactions.

If you want to put an item for actual auction where people can fight for the price item that is fine, however most wanted feature is direct buyout without waiting anything. You click button BUY and you have your purchased item directly.

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.

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 guys need to understand how GGG makes its money.

I haven't played POE2 but I've played enough POE to see how it works. POE is a free game. GGG makes its money by selling MTX and Stash Tabs (Premium for trades). GGG wants players to visit other players hideouts in order to show off hideout decorations and MTX that other players will want to buy.

The "friction" that they talk about is only part of the reason the trade system is the way it is. The other part is selling MTX.

Unless you can come up with a better system that still requires players to visit other players hideouts, it's never going to work with GGG's business model.

They also like players interacting with other players, again, to show off the MTX. That's why they don't have market vendors in each hideout. They want you to see what the other guy is wearing in case you may buy it in their store.

Straw man argument! It does not matter if the item is cheap or expensive. It deserves to find a buyer and the buyer deserves to get it sold to them. If your only argument is "your not spending enough" your just proving the case that the trade site is broken...

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 😤

It has been stated over and over again that they wont do an acutionhouse because it fucks the economy. It makes the expensive items EXTREMLY expensive and the semi-decent items cost nothing.
This way you can find a tripple reists ring with only health/energy shield as its 4th stat and you can actually sell it for some currency.
There is a reason we only have currency exchange. Its been stated over and over and in every game an auction-house has been implemented this has been the result.
You also remove alot of the people who are only in the game to speculate/make money from trading only when u dont have AHs ingame since they actually have to be online and do the trades themselves.

Im 100% confident that no AH is the best move even if its clunky. Since every game I have played with an AH always have totally fucked up economies.
