Did someone just break the market(bazaar)?

General
1

Is my bazaar broken or did overnight every good item in the game got bought out? All red ring of Atlarias 1 LP vanished and the price of the ring went from $40 million to 1 billion? There was like 8 pages of rings last night. Same with jelkhor 3 LP blades, all just vanished from the marketplace, 3 LP foot of the mountain, 4 LP peak of the mountain, 2 LP core of the mountain... Overnight pages of these good items just all got bought out but the lesser LPs are still there? Did someone find a way to break the market or is my game messed up??

Gold dupe got out, everything got bought up

3

There is nothing in the bazaar worth buying right now. May have to wait for a week after this bug is fixed for the market to stabilize.

4

Why not just shut down the market and pull a D4.

Because that would piss everyone who legitimately enjoys trading off.

No one can enjoy trading with the gold exploit going on…

They did, but bugs happen.

You think they have solved trading? really? I think they haven’t, in fact i think they have made the whole trading experience boring.

What would “solving trading” look like to you? I’m not sure this particular circle can be squared ie, providing unrestricted trade without penalising people who don’t want to trade by massively refucing the drop rates in order to prevent the traders from gearing up super fast. But I think that on paper EHG’s attempt is probably the closest thus far. Hopefully it’ll get better (whatever that means) in the future. And at least EHG is trying rather than saying “fuckit, this shit’s difficult” like GGG (until recently, I’m not saying the timing is coincidental, but).

It cant be solved, trading is what it is.

EHG never wanted to “fix” trading. Players demanded trading in the game (when all they wanted was the gift system) so they made a trading system that avoids the toxic practices of PoE’s, namely sniping, price fixing, scamming, etc, and to prevent players from playing Trade:The Endgame like they do in PoE where some people barely even play the game at all and spend the whole season trading.

This doesn’t mean all players will like it. Some complained because they wanted PoE trade and to play trade as a mechanic. But many players also liked it exactly because of that. It needs tuning and balancing, but it works just like a large portion of the community likes.

The bug was unfortunate but it happens. Currency duping happened on PoE more than once. It will eventually also happen in D4 and PoE2 and any game that has trade and is in constant development.

Thanks so much for explaining that bugs appear in games, i never knew.

Apparently you didn’t.

The “EHG solved trading” was a direct response to there statement before trading released, “we have solved trading” they have solved nothing.

Not once did they say “we have solved trading”.

The only people that were saying that were the players that were happy with the system. And they did solve trading for players that don’t like PoE toxicity in trading.
Players that want to use trade as an endgame mechanic don’t think the same way, obviously.

Trading was in the kickstarter. It’s not like it was demanded back in alpha/beta.

You got a link to that? 'Cause we both know that that was streamers/players saying that not EHG.
