GGG, you need to fix Alva npc flipping NOW!

I want to bring attention to a major issue with Alva’s currency exchange, which has been breaking the in-game economy since the game’s release. The ability to trade currencies at extreme ratios (like Exalted Orbs to Regal Orbs at 1:1000 and selling back 1 exalt per 50 regals) is allowing players to generate hundreds of Exalted Orbs in mere minutes, completely bypassing normal farming methods.

This isn't just limited to Regal Orbs—Alchemy Orbs, Vaal Orbs, Omens, and other currency types are also part of the problem. Because Exalted Orbs have become so easy to obtain through this method, Divine Orbs (one of the primary trading currencies) are experiencing extreme inflation. Players are wondering why Divine Orbs now cost over 500 Exalts, but the answer is clear: the economy is flooded with Exalted Orbs due to Alva’s broken exchange system and they buy divines more and more with the exalted orbs made at Alva so easily.

This has been happening since launch, and the longer it goes unaddressed, the worse the inflation will get. A potential fix could be implementing a daily trade limit, adjusting exchange rates, or removing certain high-impact trades entirely. The current system is making traditional farming feel useless and is completely undermining the economy.

Please consider addressing this issue before it spirals even further out of control.

I uploaded a pic just to show you what (and at what ratios) I was buying few days ago... which is ridiculous.. I don't know how is this even possible.. I'was able to make hundreds of exalts in minutes just by selling back the regals.. getting 7000 regals for 7 exalts and then selling back 7000 regals for 100 exalts... so 93 exalts profit in few mins.

Yikes

How to turn 1 exalt into 20 right from your hideout.

Yikes.

do you see the pic which I posted? Those are completed orders 1k per 1 exalt.
That was the worst I saw the ratio, mostly is 100-200:1 even now when we are speaking you can test that you can buy regals at 1 ex : 900 regals and sell them back at 51 regals :1 exalt. So as long as you have/farm gold, you make instant exalted just sitting at Alva.

Idk who is paying for them but it works. ALL THE TIME. This game is broken af.

If one guy sell 1 ex for 1000 regals.
Other guy buy 1 ex for 20 regals.

Then you can set to buy 1 ex for 21 regals and you will be on top of list when someone going to sell regal without typing their own price.

Or you can set to sell 1 ex for 900 regals, and you will be first on list when someone going to sell regals without typing their own price.

Plus, that flipping cost gold. Not to say how cringe it is to flip regal/exalt lol

Not to say that's how stock market work, buy low - sell high. There's nothing to fix.

look at the pic, I just did it again now just to prove it is happening...

bought 850 regals for 1 ex
sold 850 regals for 20 ex.
profit 19 exalts in 2 mins.

What do you mean is nothing to fix LOL. The gold is so easy to make, just by selling yellow gears and yellow maps, that is not a problem at all. You can get thousands of exalts per day just staying at alva instead of playing which most of ppl are doing (you can see them competing against eachother in prices at alva, who to sell/buy first). I can't belive I am hearing this lol, you probably must be one of the flippers who doesn't want its income to end.
Is not a problem that divs is 500+ exalts? When is a problem to you? when is 10k exalts per div ?

I had already clicked on the reply button before you edited the post, so I hadn't seen the screenshot.

But from my understanding, there's no real issue with Alva itself. The issue is where those Regals are coming from, since there's one or more players putting them up in the exchange.

And if all of them are being acquired legitimately, then there's nothing to "fix" (in the strict sense of the word), just balancing that needs to be done.

PS: Yes, the game has been broken since launch. The only good thing in PoE 2 is the campaign, which is fun the first time you play it, then it becomes boring like the rest of it.
This issue just adds to the list of reasons why a lot of players are just waiting for patches and an economy reset (that is going to take another 3-4 weeks)

Do you understand that currency exchange work same as stock trading? Since it work exactly like stock trading, there's nothing to fix within that system.

While it can be "fixed" if people learn how it works without blindly click place order without checking buy/sell orders.

But they don't, so other people abuse laziness or stupidity of those people, to print currency in hideout.
