trade you can find a lot of cheap path of exile items
Definitely. As someone who has avoided standard for quite some time and only played temp leagues: I was baffled by the prices when I played standard last week. If you use poe. trade you can find a lot of cheap items, but most of them are inactive users (not saying they quit, but often stopped playing for weeks).
If you're trying to buy stuff from online players like in challenge leagues you're going to pay exorbitant prices for average rares (the worst thing are gems. People want EXALTS for ~level 15-17 gems).
I assume the post I made sounds worse than I intended it to sound.
I wanted to try several CoC setups because I never played them, so I tried to buy level 15+ Arc/Ice Spear/Cold Snap/some other gems. While in general there are many people selling them for ~1 chaos, most of them were not online (and often offline for way more than one day). When I searched for them I was unable to find Ice Spear/Cold Snap for <1 exalt from someone that is currently online, searching for several hours while playing.
I just redid my search and the cheapest level 15+ Cold Snap that is currently online was listed for 5 chaos, with a total of 7 gems <1 exalt (to be fair, the rest are mostly 20Q gems, but that wasn't the case the last time I searched. Arctic Breath shows similar results).
When you actually take your time and search stuff over some time/PM a lot of offline traders you probably could get them cheaper, but when you're trying to trade instantly like in challenge leagues/the 1 month league it appears to me to be a lot more expensive

POE Incursion: A Primer on Vaalish History
Incursion league is very close to us now, so I'd like to share some Vaalish history, and I think you guys would be interested in it. It's no doubt that Vaalish History is important in Path of Exile 3.3 update, it's the core part of next league.

Eternal orbs still exist in standard
what we really need is to get rid of all the eternal orb influence in standard, or make a new dumpster league without eternals and eternalled mirror-able items destroying the market.

poe4orbs:POE 3.17 Siege of the Atlas Official Trailer
Really think the new atlas skill tree is going to be a success, personally i've played PoE for a long time myself, and looking just slightly on this, i really think it just looks fearsome yet it looks really nice developed so newer players can easily look where they want to target farm. Especially comparing it to the old version where a lot off new players never even got to the point to actually start target grinding, well done!
