What I don't understand is why people put flasks in their shop tab if they're not going to bother to sell them.
if im in a map im probably not gonna leave it for a 1c trade. if im sitting in my hideout sorting a dump tab or crafting or whatever i am happy to sell it

Instant buyouts on the AH would work if it was restricted only to low ticket items that people don't want to leave maps to sell. Easier access to flasks and the shittiest uniques for 5-1 or leveling!

not all non unique flasks are created equal. Some are worth 5c+ or more.

most of the time theyre from when I put them in there near league start for easy chaos. if its a week into league there's no way in hell i'm leaving my map for 1c. if I'm doing another trade i'll do it. I suspect that's what other people are doing too. That's why when I buy 1-2c items I look for the person who listed it most recently, they usually respond.

id be all for near instant commodity trading (fragments/currency etc) but anything with rolls or stats can get weird fast

maps too! Those or the worst to buy.

Maps are also the worst to sell, but I think the reason maps are particularly poo poo to buy and sell this league comes down, in part, to the map tab reducing friction. It's very easy to list all of the low tier maps that you have no use for now, but no one wants to execute the actual trades because they aren't worth enough. Previously, it took enough effort to list maps that you probably actually wanted to do the deal if you took the time to do so.

you can list a whole tier of maps at once? If they're being listed one at a time as they drop what does it matter what tab they're in?

You melt uniques? As opposed to, I dunno, socking them away in a tab in case you have a build that needs it later?

I'll admit I did do the fortune thing where you trade 5 uniques for a new random unique, but that was 5 low-level melee uniques. It gave me a different low-level melee unique.
If the unique isn't worth more than a chaos then you might as well melt it and if you want it for a build later you can just buy it.

I keep a handful of worthless(<alch) one-slot uniques around for the fortune just because I really like trade gambling. I keep a bunch of tier threshold vises and eyes for my build for the same reason.

this is a real problem, because most trade volume is of cheap items! every time you pm someone to get maps for atlas completions, or a cheap leveling unique, or whatever, it's very likely they won't bother to leave their map.

you said the map tab reduces friction. As in it's easier to list maps. How? which tab they're in doesn't make them easier to list unless you can list more than one at a time.

Map tab reduces friction as in it's easier to keep a load of maps stored than it was previously. This means people are less inclined to sell them.

First, as TheRat pointed out, people can store a fuckload of maps that previously would be eating into their stash space. Second, you can in fact list more than one at a time with the map tab—you can list an entire tier of maps, actually.

Ok. Up until now in the thread "less friction" has meant "more listings." That's GGGs argument against the AH.

Thanks, that's what I was asking when I asked if you could list an entire tier of maps.

Seems like one argument is for less listings and one is for more.

That is what it means, but listing something and actually selling it aren't the same thing. The map tab makes it very easy to list all of the maps you want to, and the tab also makes it easy to store them forever; both of these things make it easier to list maps, one in that it is literally easier to list the maps, and the other in the sense that previously people would just vendor (or delete, or donate, or whatever) low tier maps because they were taking up a bunch of stash space, but now it costs them nothing to have them listed until the end of time.

TheRat's statement (that it's easier to store a load of maps which makes people less inclined to sell them) does read sort of contradictory, but what I assume he means is that the ease of doing so makes people more inclined to list maps, but the fact that there is no pressure to get rid of them to reclaim stash space also means that there is no motivation (beyond whatever someone is paying for the map) to actually complete the sale.

I don't think there are less maps on the market, but j do have to message more people before one responds. Probably since there are more. People just casually listing entire tiers rather than only people seriously intending on selling them

I can't believe we're still here. If it were both trivial to list items for sale and trivial to transact then you've just destroyed the core game loop. Items matter. Pick easy listings or easy transacting, not both. Why is this so hard?

D3's auction house wasn't a failure because it was easy though or because items were balanced for availability with it. It failed because the difficulty leap between the penultimate and ultimate difficulty was significant enough that only the 1% of players could make the transition without brute forcing it by buying items only available at a higher level, and Blizzard had to relearn something they'd already spent WoW's lifetime learning - that players see content as an entitlement, not a reward.

Nobody's forced to buy maps. Sometimes I feel like there should be a mandated SSF course before people start playing trade leagues, just so they're forced to learn tricks and shortcuts. (I don't actually mean that, but it's kind of frustrating to hear so many people complain about trade-issues they can easily solve by themselves)
