Please add an in game market where you could post your items with certain price, for example Shako vs Vex rune.
So for example I could put up my Shako in the market and set a price for it, let’s say a Vex rune.
Someone browsing for Shakos in the market can see my offer vs Vex, someone else’s offer vs let’s say Stormshield and so on and on.
When D2r launched I had close to 0 d2jsp forum gold and I didn’t use any fiat currency to gear myself either, I had an enigma 2 weeks in by farming with my comrade in p2.
After this in pub’s people asked me “how much did it cost you” or “see a rich guy from d2jsp” which got on my nerves because we farmed this not bought.
When I tried selling shako in public games I had one sorc come and try to convince me that her found boneflame is worth as much as my shako and hoto combined and due to her kindness she’s willing to do this trade. Such scammage.
I think if we had in game market for items vs runes and items vs items etc then it would benefit the game a lot.
Imagine setting up your trade orders before going to sleep or work and having them completed when returning to game, what a nice thing to have imo.
Purists will not like it but being totally honest if it’s between dealing with spamming the trade channel or using 3rd party forums and to set up manual trades or an easy to use in game marketplace, I’d rather take the marketplace.
This is an aside: but PoE’s absolute pain in the ass trade system and reliance on effectively using two or three external websites that you have to have open at all time connecting to the game’s slow API to actually do any meaningful trades turned me off an otherwise great game completely and I never went back. It’s literally easier and faster to buy and sell real life stocks than it is items in PoE.
This is actually a good idea, but keep trading also for friends and your close circle. I am pretty sure this would be really good but I am also afraid of the botters/goldsellers buying everything with high values just to create an inflation on some ultra rare stuff and make some bucks. But initially this is a great idea.
Yeah the danger of an online market is definitely automation. If someone has a sophisticated enough way to watch it they could auto-buy and relist any item that may be sold at what is considered below market price and then re-list it for profit, at best leaving non-botters out in the cold on good deals and at worst complete market manipulation.
I still like the idea but there needs to be some implementation or restrictions that keep it a pure player to player trade experience.
They’re 1.13 purists.
PoE’s trade system is already destroyed by market botter. After the second week - the economy is collapsed and hyperinflated.
Same here on D2R, trading 50 -100 SoJ (which is very rare) for something.
You sound like a real purist, that was really in 2003.
I don’t think it’s so big of a threat though. Let’s say I’m rich in game, own a item selling site and wanted to bump up shako price so shakos would go for ohm minimum, I would stack my bag up by buying every shako in the market <ohm value and create a sell wall at ohm price.
I think too much people would be selling their found shakos for higher prices and build cta’s etc for the overprice I’m paying for them.
Market would regulate itself I believe.
Casual item buying-selling for profit has always been there and always will be.
I had enigma 2 weeks into HC man https://imgur.com/a/NlyVQ5m
I don’t want to simplify the game, in-game marketplace would just be huge qol change.
You think I have time to afk in O items games in game? Imagine the farm time and xp loss while at it.
I never want to mf in my sleep, i waited a long long time for no bot “ladder”.
I’m no new to this game, I hosted uber leveling services back when I was 13 years old and it was still possible.
I don’t see how you can view this as a bad thing by making it “easier” by replacing such annoyance as O items trade games with in-game market.
D3 was a new game with gold as a currency and items didn’t have any certain value.
D2 has been there for a long time and items/runes have known values to the community already.
Purist can go play old d2 on battlenet, I dont think recreation of game in 3d thats ready for new content should be subjugated to some basement dweller wishes
The game was surely not recreated for few guys into new graphics so they can do the exact same stuff they didnext 20 years in better graphics
Non shared loot, marketplace and balancing of some useless build trees, new maps would be logical next step for a game that wants to attract some more people than few guys that run Mephisto past 20 years.
I would personally love to see for example golemancer or some iron maiden curse hell viable builds - more fun
