Still, player requirement for easier trading systems persisted von smrtsmiths Blog

Still, player requirement for easier trading systems persisted, and Grinding Gear implemented their official trade API, allowing the city to handle the heavy-lifting from then on. With the (beta) launch in the official trade network, almost most of this may be done in the game’s own official site, although there isn't a effort being built to shut down community-run trade hubs either. The API itself has become upgraded POE Chaos Orb somewhat, displaying whether selling real estate is online, AFK you aren't, that ought to help smooth the process, although a final trade must still happen face-to-face in-game.

While trade is actually becoming increasingly simple, some players still want the excitement of improvising and adapting within the fly, as well as the bragging rights inherent in surviving contrary to the brutally hard endgame by doing this. Grinding Gear Games implemented an optional ‘solo self-found‘ playmode featuring its own leaderboards in run-up on the Fall of Oriath expansion. In this mode players cannot form parties or trade online websites at all and thus your position for the ranking is entirely determined by that ever-compelling combination luck and adaptability that ARPG fans hold in these high regard – ideal with the hardcore crowd.

It’ll be interesting to POE Exalted Orb discover whether this new trading setup significantly affects the cost of certain unique items being traded, or if it will become standard for Path of Exile within the long-term. It might be the first step towards a much more traditional market system as noticed in most MMOs, but I don’t think so, especially having seen Diablo 3’s own market faceplant so completely. Either way, for those who would prefer to roll the dice and take whatever the overall game chooses to dole out, there is at the least Solo Self-found mode.
