Solution for crazy exa price without changing any orb droprate

Exalts are used to:
>Slam on items (5% or less uses of majority playerbase)
>Buy items (95% of uses by majority of playerbase)

Items are usually priced in exalts. Items that used to cost 3ex (~240c) still cost 3ex (~315c).
Exalts are used for item pricing because:
>Exa prices rises in the first weeks of the league (first week, do you sell item for 2ex or 90c? Both choice are rewarding - just for different playstyles)
>Stack size of chaos orb is annoying (10c)

Solution?
Make chaos orb stack size of 50. Now items costing up to 3000 chaos (lets say 30 exa) can be safely bought using just inventory space. Nobody buys exalts unless they want to buy skyforth, hh or gg items.
Exa prices drop, so they are more often used for slamming (player reward... or not)

Inventory size or chaos stack size are not why exalt prices skyrocket...

If you really want to cap exa prices make a vendor recipe for chaos > exa. Not saying that's necessarily a good idea but changing the stack size of chaos does literally nothing.

Just no because no response

That's actually BS. Increasing stack size won't solve all the problems, but it would solve the vast majority of them. Making them stack to 100 would mean you could trade items listed for 1k easily. Try to buy something listed for 400c. 8 freakin rows vs 4 slots. BIG difference. Don't know a single person that wouldn't be happier.

Not only is it a great idea, but the topic itself just shows how antiquated almost all the stack sizes are. Exalts may be fine as people aren't trading thousands of them, but everything else needs a serious buff. Buying 1200 fuses per shot, or trading 300c is insufferable.

Why do people complain about a ration that's set by popular agreement? Let it go.

Would it though? All it solves is the need for multiple transfers for extremely large purchases. Most transactions involving exalts are somewhere between 1-8 exa which can often fit in an inventory even if it's in chaos. If your transaction is bigger than that and the parties don't trust each other then you find a trusted third party to do the go between. Such trades are rare enough that that doesn't seem unreasonable. Increasing the stack size of chaos won't make them more valuable or more useful, just ever so slightly more convenient. People will still post in whatever units they want. Case in point, last league people listed stuff at 600+ chaos instead of exalts due to the volatility of exa.

Not saying that bigger stacks would be bad, but I promise you it won't make the exalt to chaos ratio change much, or even in any noticeable way.

The only working solution would be physical extermination of all price fixers. Which is illegal in most countries PoE players are from and therefore will not happen.

Yes.

GGG won't change stack size because then they couldn't charge you for an extra stash tab.
