what do you think about this? Will the game be economically viable or is it just another d3 without a trade?

as crossed mentioned

"In D4 you aren't going to be able to bot or RMT quite as easily as in D2 and that's why a lot of people around here are mad."

meanwhile look at the d4 trading forum rn. imagine at release.

There’s no economy in D4

There’s cosmetics though

you could say, over 8 trillion appearance combinations too! invigorating

I can easily see people selling speed rush service on day 1 of release for people who didn't buy the premium edition, a lot of people will want carry to end game and skip all the bullshit. this game will be the exact same shit as d3, u gonna play it for 2 weeks every season until no one play any more. well I should say its a better version of d3, as from the look of it(I played for 2 days now) it wouldn't be broken at launch day like that of d3. after all they do learned something after spent the last 10 years fixing d3 lol.

Probably only like 2% of the millions of people playing even know this forum exists.

If you're in the know you're gonna have a pretty nice advantage

I opened a thread about this a while back, did they confirm no trading period?

Judging from Diablo 3 where you dismantle items for materials to craft new items plus using Blizzards own words "materials to craft are tradeable", the most valuable currency will be materials you get from dismantling items.

first of all: trading will definately be a big thing in d4, since rare bases are always open for trade and will be used to imbue legendary affixes.
2nd: services like we had in d3 (e.g. grifts) will return in d4 since there are sigil dungeons to upgrade paragon sockets. besides that there will probably be people who want achievements they cant get on their own for whatever reason.

I played this stress test, and I can tell that I liked the game. But I felt the lacking of a trade mode.
Rare items on this stress test have always affixes that are lower than legendaries (on the same level)
If it is like that, in the endgame legendary item will be better that any rare item.
So the trade will be useless.
