POE end game : spending 10+ mins trying to buy a map

Considering that some of these maps have been up for weeks and the sellers havent been able to sell them, i doubt im competing with anyone here.

Almost all of them appear to be listed from premium stash tabs as well.

As others already said, pay a bit more and you will find a motivated seller. If you insist on getting a "deal" then you are competing with numerous other people and have to accept the frustrating consequences.

Still easier to just keep pming without waiting seller answer - First one inviting you win - others need to deal with it. Sad but if you care about your time it's often the only solution left -

If they have been up for weeks and you expect the seller to respond then I can't really help you as I can't magically give you common sense.

AUCTION HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE !!!!

I also like: receiving trade requests for standard while i play bestiary or vice versa....Do u really think i log in and out all the time to switch in between leagues for all those trade requests? no way, sorry...Complain to GGG about this wonderful trade system, and expect to hear somnething like this for 5 years: we are working on improving the trade system. lmfao

Fun fact, i'm not even pissed off about the trading system or what could be done with it anymore;
I'm more concerned by anger it's creating between players on a daily basis, i mean it has gone too far clearly.

For those that read that i write it a second time: No players are not reponsible of trading system and if players don't answer here are some examples of why:

Selling maps can lead you to get around 5/10+ trade message per seconds - Except if you are a robot or use non-proved-to-be-legit tools like mercury trade ( as far as i know there wern't any recent statement about it from GGG ) it's impossible to answer everybody manualy without wasting an entire day.

Items arn't instantly updated - Sometimes seller will be bored to keep receiving message for it and giving up on answering sold to everybody.

Sometimes you just went away from computer for different reasons, pizza delivery ... kids ... IRL stuff and then you come back 10 sec later it's already too late you are a criminal that didn't answered a trade message in a video game, so you basicly end in newspaper ( hi reddit ) pointed as a criminal.

Sometimes it happen than no, you don't want to trade 1 alch items / maps because you are already rich enough ( understand by that, going back to hideout for one alch versus 1c+ using this time in your map ), so in theory a simple fix would be to stop listing 1 alch items ... but sadly you already got bored enough by trading and just gave up on doing efforts, because it's not your role to do them.

I mean the list is long, this has been the most discussed subject of all times on forum and reddit, also one of the top 3 reasons for player departure. Nothing to add that could contribute to current situation or improve it i gave up on that a long time ago already;
Trying one last time tho:

Economy struggling impacting progression doesn't mean hard trading. Just boring one.
At the second you spend more time on a website than ingame to achieve some goals already set in stone, it's too late. Immersion must be protected. Rule #1021 of a masterpiece video game.

Play SSF and fuck the trade system. Its bullshit.

the trick is when buying something on POE trade basically ignore the first 10-15 cheapest prices on the list

scroll down to the slightly more expensive items to get a reply

No, the trick is, to spam the trade message 100 times to those price fixers. If everyone did this, we´d have a lot less of those ;)

maybe this is the reason nobody is answering you. if i get a guy who whispers and always deny invite, welcome on ignore. you dont want to waste time on trading, so youre wasting the time of other ppl, nice dude.
Most of the time i get whispers as im running maps. sometimes im middle in a breach oder something like that so it takes some seconds to answer. but thats clearly way too much time for some buyers to wait. dont know if they believe im sitting on my stash tab the whole day waiting for their whispers.

Find yourself a ''map dealer''. Buy the maps as a pack, so it is the best solution for my experience.
