Early Access Feedback - Please do NOT add an Auction House - Forum

" xonedl#1873 wrote: Don't over complicate it. The current system is fine. Maybe we the old geezers are fine with the system because we used to such kind of trading even in other games, remember back in the days MMO actually have much more varied trading systems including personal stores, message board, etc where people actually have to contact each other (mainly to avoid high auction taxes actually)? Just implement an in-game browser interface so people that don't want to tab out can do so. That's all. You old geezers used to walk 10 miles barefoot through snow to school too but that doesn't mean it's normal. You old geezers need to keep up to date with the times. Having to teleport to someone to physically trade is so archaic. Not to mention the opportunity it opens to scamming which in of itself wastes your time. Yesterday i tried selling a 25 div bow and the first 3 people were "sorry, wrong button" people. There's absolutely no logical reason not to have a system where you simply buy out the listed things for the listed price while circumventing the person to person trade system. That would also solve the pricefixing and issue of pricefixing and pricechecking. PEO 1 trade boards weren't perfect but was still way better. No idea why they backpedaled on it.

The current trade system adds absolutely nothing of value to this game. There is no social interaction. Most of the people trading don't even speak English. All the current trade system does is allow people to waste your time via not responding/trying to haggle/posting fake listings to try and price fix. It's cancer and it can die in a fire. We need an AH -- or for them to fix loot/crafting so SSF feels viable w/o getting crazy lucky.	Posted by Kask#3190 on Jan 17, 2025, 1:13:42 AM Quote this Post
A in game trading system is needed not just for gameplay but for the security of the players	Posted by DutchMilk#4689 on Jan 17, 2025, 1:28:09 AM Quote this Post
Ok find a different solution to the current one, because the current one doesn't work. Whispering to hundreds of people and not getting a response is not a system that works. Go back to your bubble.	Posted by Babonzo#0016 on Jan 17, 2025, 4:15:12 AM Quote this Post
That’s your shitty opinion haha. Most of the players want something else than this bs trading there is now. And eventually the time will come when it will be changed. Keep coping	Posted by Psytralla#5508 on Jan 17, 2025, 4:21:50 AM Quote this Post

PoE's trade system is unique from all other games and is far more enjoyable than all those games with auction houses. These new players just have to adapt to and learn trading in a style they haven't experienced before. I already saw Jonathan caving in to auction house demands in the recent Q&A stream, he might as well have confirmed it after being asked about it because he said something like "we'll look into it". PoE trade has all kinds of benefits and traits to it that do not exist in auction house systems. For example if you underpriced an item, you can change your mind about selling it for too little after getting spammed by countless whispers - in an auction house you would lose the item immediately. Another is being able to set up live alerts and snipe great deals. And whatever happened to your own decade long belief that trade has to exist this way so that people see other players hideouts, otherwise there's no point in hideout customization? Don't add auction house, it will completely ruin the trading! So you can keep scamming people and price fixing? No thanks, its 2025, not 1999.

Sorry but we do need an Auction House.	Posted by lordraz0r#7635 on Jan 17, 2025, 4:28:09 AM Quote this Post
IDK if we need AH, but something like currency trader, but for things ppl find on trade site i have listed. Just click the thing i`m selling and leave the currency. No need to meet in person. If this is auction house, then we need it. I don`t need auctions, i need player to take my thing and leave the orb(s). Simple as that.

I agree. AH is not needed.	Posted by LeFlesh#9979 on Jan 17, 2025, 5:39:42 AM Quote this Post
Hope AH never gets implemented, it's really a non-issue if you're trading for bigger value items. You guys don't even think about all the bots running rampage. Only async-trade would be good but then you have the bot problem again.	Posted by Niskk#1396 on Jan 17, 2025, 6:11:52 AM Quote this Post
