Teething Problems With Path Of Exile On Xbox One's Trading System

We know that Path Of Exile has only been on Xbox One for a very short time and so far the game is good, but there is one area that needs some major work and pretty quickly, the trading system.

To put it bluntly, the trade system is a bit of a nightmare to deal with on Xbox One. To start with there is no search function at all! How crazy is that in 2017, you have to search through pages and pages of items to find what you want? This is only the early days of the game too, so as more people play and more Path Of Exile Xbox items are listed for trade it is only going to get worse. It is just such an awkward and inconvenient thing that we cannot believe it made it past beta. You could argue that as of right now it is easy to grind and search for items in the actual game than using the trading system.

Another issue is when you find something that you want. So you offer the other player some poe xbox currency and then you have to wait for them to respond… it can take a week or even more for a player to get back to you. Not a big deal you are probably thinking, but the currency you have offered in this time cannot be used for anything else! So if you put forward a trade, the other guy takes a week to get back to you and turns it down, your currency has just been sitting there collecting dust the whole time.

We think that in terms of gameplay, Grinding Gear Games are on the right track with Path Of Exile Xbox One. But we have a bad feeling that if they do not change this trading system, hardcore players will ditch this game in a matter of weeks.
