If you're ever wondering why div to exalt prices keep skyrocketing

Here's the prime example of bots/currency sellers manipulating the market. Something really needs to be done to these kind of behavior, items are already inaccessible enough to new players.

They intentionally set the bar really high and buyout everything below, while setting a fix lower base with millions of exalts in the market to stop any price from getting listed below it(classic manipulation)

Last night alone, div:exalt ratios went from 145 to 198 in a matter of seconds. Just one month back it was around 120.

At this point it's no longer about demand and supply any longer.

PS: Your high value items are not spared either, it is all intentional manipulation. (Dream frag, temporalis, astra)

They need to increase the gold cost to list items.

I keep wondering how does one able to store 4 Million exalt, how may quad stash tab needed for that kind of amount and also the gold cost needed to list it for exchange

Of course some organizations like farming cartels

There is really no reason for new players to try out early access at this point. If you are new, i suggest waiting for a reset

That's why I switched to SSF mode. from now I play arpg instead of trading simulator

It's not one trader, probably several thousand of them.
Guys instead of paranoia pounding on this forum better try and learn how trading in poe really works.

so you can't do simple math.... check (4000000-5000){they most likely have a currency tab}/20{stack size}/(24*24){quad tab size}. 347 tabs. But you're wrong in thinking one person has that amount, it's all the people trading it for that amount that you see in the exchange window

if you look carefull, the same ratio is there twice, the system shows the best seller/buyer first , and yes that one "person" has 4mil orbs, its ridicilous but not it is what it is, just roughly a month ago in ssf someone else showcased his 1k+ exalt orbs and the power of iir , so having multiple bot accounts farming 24/7 and then send currency to that account with the 4m is just what you have to expect, the problem is to find the real bot accounts farming 24/7 and not falsly ban the guys who do legit trades since unlike other games you cant report a bot for farming as you never will enocunter one yourself

You haven't been active enough on the trading market if you think that's actually the normal economy.

I've been exchanging exalts to divs back and forth very very regularly for trading, this only happened on a few occasions which led to huge ratio spikes.

Regular folks do not keep 5000 exalts in the first place, let alone massive stash tabs of them.
