XYZ is a lot closer to a market POE
Posted: 05 Jan 2018, 03:51Infact the only time I've ever seen that scenario is when selling HH and even then it's barely an auction [But XYZ certainly doesn't facilitate it as such]
XYZ is a lot closer to a market than an auction house.
I say Market because there isn't 12 people lining up to buy one orange, but there are multiple people wanting to buy a few oranges. Different vendors in the market are going to have different prices, some are willing to haggle, some are already at the rock bottom of their acceptable prices. PoE is a lot more like that with how XYZ is than pertaining to an AH in any shape or form.
I'm not sure how you could see it as an AH Mors, if the only pre-requisite to be an AH is that you list items for sale then by that definition any store ever is an auction house.
There is a lot of problems with current trading site compared to auction house. First how fast it updates, you pm someone for an item, which is already sold, they often don't even reply. Then there are people who simply went afk/alt tabbed the game - again no reply. Third group being people who decide not to sell item they set for sale with buyout price, for whatever reason, they figured they listed too cheap, because they got many offers fast.
And all player interaction comes down to copy-pasting trade msg into chat, and either guy replying to you or not. How on earth is that better than normal auction houuse system with buy button, and item being transfered to your stash automatically without dealing with afk people all the time.
Oh I forgot one type of interaction, people trying to lowball you offering half the market price of an item, hoping you will sell. Thats about the only pms you get, other than copied b/o offers from website.BY http://www.playerhot.com/games/path-of-exile/Golds here now... well done, so thanks!
