It's time the association face the facts and appeal that GGG do something about Trade. The problems acquire become so astringent that it is damaging the acceptability of the game. Actuality is just a few of the problems:
- Bags of sellers not replying, usually due to cutting arrival of bargain requests.
- Bargain API is about overwhelmed, down, or just apparent broken.
- Scammers are active aggressive and bloodthirsty on new or amateur players.
- Inability to bargain with a abeyant client while active Delve, bossing, or any added acute activity.
- The use of a website to bargain instead of something in-game is archaic, clunky, and captivation breaking.
- Accidental miscounts of bill trading about after-effects in a poor bargain experience.
- GGG's angle of "fast trades" ruining the bold is unproven. Currently, the complete action of trading is arresting and time consuming. That doesn't animate players, abnormally new players, to ambition to play the game. If players can't get the items they allegation for their builds, they are added acceptable to quit. Forcing players to bullwork for a hundred hours just to get their basal accessories is bad bold design.
- (added via edit) The accent barrier can aswell be a problem. We acquire apparent this acutely with the arrival of new Korean players who acquire an in fact altered compassionate of bargain etiquette.
Something needs to be done. I bethink aback afore the Bargain websites existed. It was the aphotic age. But it has been years aback the Bargain API and websites acquire been accustomed and it is bright that they can no best handle the arrival of trades.
As the citizenry of Poe has grown, so too acquire to the way we Trade. It is no best achievable to buzz anniversary and every amateur we ambition to bargain with, go to their hideout, and bargain by duke with them. The arrangement has been abrupt beneath the weight to the point that it is now broken. GGG, you MUST abode this issue.
While I acquire that some players adopt bound or no trade, a ample allocation of players ambition bigger and faster trades. The affiliated accoutrement requesting an Auction House are affidavit of that. It's a abiding affair that is alone accepting worse and worse. I'm not in fact advocating an Auction House, but some affectionate of in-game afire supply Bargain arrangement needs to appear and needs to appear soon.
Chris, if you apprehend this, amuse acquire that players both ambition and allegation a bigger Trading system. Hundreds and hundreds of suggestions, solutions, and compromises acquire been acquaint over the years on how to fix it. Amuse acquire to some of them. There has to be a bigger way than what currently is. A statement, even a ambiguous one, that GGG is actively animate on a backup for the accepted Bargain arrangement would be abundantly accepted by the community.
(added via edit) The Bargain Manifesto is over 2 years old, accounting if Poe was a abundant abate game. Aback then, the citizenry has exploded, GGG has been bought by Tencent, and the Leagues are about in fact different. Poe has acquired a LOT aback that time. So yes, I do acquire a new account from Chris about the problems & any developments apropos Bargain would be abundantly appreciated.
