    This is probably the biggest change the game had in a long time. Chris was categorically against it for so long that I lost hope it will ever get implemented. But now that Chris stepped down from PoE decision-making (he’s focused on PoE 2 now) and Mark has final authority, we are seeing a lot more experimentation and quality of life that was rejected for years.

    You can read Chris trade manifesto for contrast.

    I still think that full auction house is a bad idea, but this will save hours upon hours of time and frustration. It also increases the pool by a large margin, both from people that never traded before and from including all offline players.

      Jonathan has mentioned during a PoE 2-related interview that it’ll have instant buyout trades with a gold fee, so this looks like some of that backported to 1. He said they still want trading to be inefficient, so they’re just moving that inefficiency into gold.
