i dont think it matters. things change.
maybe chaos are not the currency any more, maybe its exalts and divines. maybe its gcp and divines. i dont think they care and i dont rly see why we care either? i only think exchange rates matter when it effects the use of the orb for crafting. when exalts were 100s of chaos orbs in the past id argue at times that was bad because we couldnt use exalts which were a very important part of crafting at the time, so there was implications for playing the game outside of the trade economy. i dont rly think theres any implications here for the game outside of the cash economy itself so it rly doesnt matter. i think people are just trying to cling to something because its what theyre used to, the devs dont care about that theyre happy for different currencies to come in and out of importance. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

Looks like it was a combination of to few chaos sinks and market manipulation, since the chaos has pretty much stabilized. Sanctum league was way worse than this. ~250c for a div is fine for everybody i think. Not hc league healthy, but still ok.

I guess my question is what level of market participation counts as market manipulation?
Cause right now there are 5460 divines for demanded at for 250 chaos. and there are 1800 divines offered for totals greater than 260 chaos. To me it seems like demand for divines is outstripping that for chaos but almost all of these numbers are within what I would consider reasonable market boundaries (currency tab caps currency stacks at 5000). Supply is meeting demand between 250 and 260 chaos per divine. Every account would be throughput limited by the amount of gold available to them. If the core complaint here is that there exists automated networks of currency sellers, this is not a new thing and every scrap of evidence I have indicates that people should not be RMTing this league or any other league. But like right now you could get 60 players together and convince them to each spend 100 divines buying chaos, I'm still not sure that'd be market manipulation. IGN : Reamus

" The game was 8 challenges good for you at least (so far). Why would anyone discuss about games they don't play or don't like? Everyone who posts here also plays the game and enjoys it. Otherwise it makes sense to just quietly leave instead of trying to make a big deal about yourself. The word is "forums", by the way. |

market manipulation in a highly liquid market cannot last for a few days even if all the cartels colluded together. long term price is determined by true supply and demand. nobody wants chaos nowadays. league market has way too many players to constantly manipulate. standard manipulation exist though, there's too few players and cartels/hoarders are manipulating certain orbs

" Chaos to div has stabilized tho? |
|
" First you have a private profile, second you have ... 13 challenges? you talking about my 8? cause i dont even try to get those, i got it by playing my character in HCSSF till 92. Where are your characters so we can laugh at them? |

" Yep. Adapt and overcome. I turned most prices to divines in my shop this league, felt good. And for chaos, was quickly converting them to another currencies, like, bought tons of cortex maps when they were 20c, etc. Still have like 6k afterall. Was buying 14+ quality rf lvl1 gems for 10+c each, level em and selling for 200c or more. All fun 😉😁 |

If you turn your prices to div you are either selling underpriced or you are not selling at all.
Chaos is still the dollar equivalent in poe and you have to price in chaos when you want to trade effciently in asynch trade. Accept it or don't, it's a fact as of today. Also, the chaos exchange rate for div is stable since 8 days. And all those videos from 8 days ago were proven wrong, as it was market manipulation combined wit hsome seller panic that pushed it to 360c. It is now pretty much stable between 260-270. No big deal at all, no one has adapted, chaos is the way to go when dealing with singular items that are worth between 1-2 div etc. YOu won't sell anything for 2 divs and you will be at a loss when selling for 1 div. So, you pick chaos, ez! No one deals in Exalteds, lol. GCPs are worth sth but not accepted as the ultimate trade currency. Some try, well but doesn't really work now does it?^^ We had worse ratios with chaos sinks in the game btw(sanctum league e.g.) Last edited by Strickl3r#3809 on Mar 24, 2026, 7:36:14 PM
