The AH dream is dead.

Well, think about it...what do people hate about trade atm? that it feels mandatory? that people abuse it by flipping? that it's to easy to make one or two people extremely rich?

I dont hate trading, i hate trading with people who are afk or post an item and has their afk coffee msg up within a minute (intentional)

Its not mandatory, i dont feel it is

Flipping is currently going on, i was looking for a clayshifter (golem mace) all the ones for 1-2 c were bought and reposted within a minute for 5c. Look at primordial might gem for example.

Supply and demand is something you didnt factor in, the market prices will balance themselves or the flipper is going to have to buy 100 quad tabs. Most gamers cant grasp this basic concept.

Its easier to run a flipping script on a website than it is in game. If ggg can detect potion macros, they will be able to see someone on ah flipping 50 items every 50 secs

Also i wonder since the begin what's the point to balance the game around trading, but not advertising tools used for trading directly ingame at least.

It would be a great start for new players ... No matter if most of players discover how to trade enough fast with global chat or forums. The important problem is some players won't have any idea about that before a while and this is not acceptable.

If there is never going to be an AH that's fine but give us a no trade separate SSF standard and set the drop rates accordingly.Every-one is happy.

That dream is even deader than dead tbh. Most you'll get is your own ladder.

Sooo now that all is clear about AH ( and it won't change. Chris is slowly becoming a 2.0 of " Notch ", original author of minecraft. Note: That's both a compliment but also a worry. ).

What to expect ? Improvements ? Already used this shortcut in 2013 then in 2014 then in 2015 then this year and well that's quite nice we have Premium tabs and ... that's it .. premium tabs.
That's a nice effort tought. We could have ended with nothing.

Yeah, I wanted a Primordial Might but they have gone from 30 chaos early in league to 3 exalts now.

Maplestory already has an AH thus the dream lives!

We buy Premium tabs, so we can sell stuff on a 3rd party website, seems weird eh, don't ya think GGG ^^

Cmon Xav....

Dreams are ethereal and cannot be destroyed.

Peace,

Happy to see nothing has changed in their stance towards automated auction houses.

Now what I would really appreciate is implementing poe.trade into the game.

Drawbacks:
- additional coding (=money) effort (probably not much of poe.trade code reusable)
- additional server load through getting hammered with search queries

Advantages:
- quality of life via direct whispers (no alt+tabbing, ctrl+c/ctrl+v)
- reliability (no poe.trade outages, there have been several)
- immersion: a market stall or post wall like the notification board in the towns, instead of a web browser outside the game
- much higher potential for improvements
- edit1: less lag... bidding for offers that were sold 5 minutes ago is annoying (and the converse is spammy)

As one example for the improvement potential: every time somebody hits the "whisper" button to buy an item, a counter for a target is incremented and displayed publicly in the listing. This number shows how many different people have tried to buy this item. So we would have a visual indicator for those who intentionally put an item way below price without intent of selling it.
Such a feature is currently not possible with poe.trade due to lack of integration with the game.

edit2: Another big one is showing AFK status, because having the first 7 listings autoreply AFK is quite discouraging.

I would really like to know GGGs position on in-game poe.trade.
