YES WE'RE WORKING ON LEAGUESTARTERS AS WE SPEAK.
There will be at least one coming out today, possibly two. We're getting all the details checked and written guides going. Stay tuned!

I just realized that Mark said something like "If you're offline and the transaction gets done..." - I feel like this is huge, previously the Stock was just from people who were online, now it's everyone

[shidoumezawa]

One thing not a lot of people mention is that this doesnt require premium stash tabs, thus potentially bringing new people to the market as well

[Luzarioth]

without the system: "Please let the person I just whispered be a bot..."

This makes me want to go deeper on crafting for the first time. Just the thought of buying fossils a few at a time for a craft i need an average of 200 for usually cures me of the desire.

[brunoc]

I hope all goes well. That's a much needed feature

[awesomesheep]

2:27 surprising that people don’t often trade chaos orbs for chaos orbs

[Lazybarbecue]

Most casual friendly league ever, and I'm going to love every minute of it. My own base bringing in goodies, not whispering 100 people for 20 things, just *chef's kiss* So excited.

[Rickwhyy]

I'm so hype for Ziz streaming on Youtube. I feel like this is a much more viewer friendly platform. I can only hope that gets more normalized

[aggressivebread]

I live for Ziz saying hi back to Mark.

[Artist_Over_Industry]

I agree with you Ziz. This test is as good as core. So long as some dramatic unforseen problem doesn't rear its head. This is a lock.

[MathoMaTicsTM]

BY FAR! The best announcement ever, as a casual player I cannot express how important and healthy this should be for the game, yes there will be price fixers but if i can make and order and its fulfilled as reasonable price or a little above market price is perfect. more time playing less time trading!!!

One thing that's really exciting about this that not many people are discussing... this enables offline trade. Which might slightly solve your HC market issues.

When you searchfor items now, you're only seeing a fraction of what might otherwise be available if everyone was online 24/7.

Then again, the limit of 10 trades will subdue this a bit. Hopefully they bump this to 25.

[TheTrueChrono]

For Softcore i think is a bless, too many people/bots price fixing stuff and never answer you, you need to keep scrolling down to buy stuff, even in bulk (last league i tried to sell 20 divs for chaos for T17 rerolls) and took me 30min to find someone. This is amazing for active players that need certain currencies, but at the same time dont wanna waste 30 min in hideout to wait someone to trade, they can just keep mapping and the system will help you trade!
Also the fact that last league chaos was the main currency because of T17, trading stacks of divs for chaos was basically impossible, this system will hel you trade the stack of 10/20 or so one by one if players need for maybe crafting or buying a specific item on the market that the seller ask divs.
Sorry for my english! Hope you will all have a blast in the new league!

[Koroistro]

I think they're likely to make a 'misclick check' feature.
It sounds easy to do, just check at which ratio the currency is being sold on average and if you try to sell it for less than like half or something you get prompted with an "ARE YOU SURE?" message, looks like an easy feature to implement many would apreciate.

[jimmmybacon]

This alone makes me finally want to come back after so many years

[leafgreenbeast]

nontradeable gold at least seems like a way to try and combat bots without being backbreaking for a player to keep up with

[tzimiable]

God, the ability to move several stacks of currency at a time almost made me cry.

[Mayhemzz]

Honestly this is such a fantastic addition that I can't even comprehend anyone being against it for any reason other than "I suffered the awful PoE trade system for years so you should too". This opens up SO much to low and mid level players who struggle to get things like proper anoints, jewelry quality etc going in a normal league. Being able to buy Oils/Catalysts easily is MASSIVE and I'm so excited.

[EquinoxR]

Hey Ziz!
I have so many examples of how the annoyance of trading currency makes me quit every league! I have 3.2k hours in POE now, but only 400 in the last 3 years, I feel basically because of this.

Every league is the same for me, without fail: I play for a week, get my starter/decent items, get to T16s-pinnacle bosses, whatever my goal is, and my next upgrade has 2 options: either I buyout a "guide-suggested" item that's insanely overpriced, or I attempt crafting something for myself. Trying to get fossils (or any other required item) for said craft basically takes over 30min for one attempt, because some silly bots think "oh, everybody is currently buying frigid fossils so we'll hold our stock but we'll still list our prices and just buy frigid fossils instead". Three days later I have my item and lost my will to craft anything else.
