Personally after 3500 hours I feel the trade in PoE is so bad that i think trade bots are actually more reliable than real players

yeah but how much will that push you in the game? is that even anywhere close to being able to clear the hardest content the game has to offer. I understand there's no direct comparison because over there the difficulty scale up infinitely.

I havent played D3 in a long time, but I don't think having a full set and Paragon 500 and hitting the peak of your character power curve are the same thing. That's like 50% of your character potential vs 99% of it.

Think about it this way, with my current bank of currencies, I can deck out my entirely new character will a set of gear that is equivalent to their near perfect ancient set with ideal stats and fully upgraded gems and everything. And again, that is with a slowed and bugged trading system, merely 2 weeks into the league. Granted, Legion has been a very generous league in term of loot drop, but still. That is still extremely quick on any scale you can use.
