why?
it is because they are stupid, or they just do not want to?

bcz Rod Turdburglar told the devs: "make sure the rares are tradeable so the carrot can still dangle in front of those jspers, we still need em!"

Probably because people would like it and it would break immersion from the misery simulator

Because everything its getting worse in this world and they are weak.

because most people nowadays (including blizzard devs) think an arpg is supposed to be a solo self found monster killing experience with no trade, no pvp, no socialization

we only cant trade legendary / unique items, why would u trade unique items ? too many people finding them, they would be worthless, maybe things like tempest roar for druid and few more are a bit more rare.

we can still trade :

gold
rares
gems
elixirs
make boosts
everything else the game has to offer

?

i hope they dont change it

to stop profitable botting and to slow down sites like this.

there's more RMT on D4 rn with all this bs restricted trading than diablo 2 lmao

i can't post the screenshots to prove this, bcz the mods just nuke your post. guess you can just go google it and see it with your own eyes

idk how accurate that is. months off release vs. 20 years old. i'd be surprised if it was the other way around

that being said, we have the foundation of a game currently being beta tested by us. they're fucking up their own game left and right, who's to say they're not completely fucking up their own attempts to funnel all the income into blizzard

yeah i'm just going off the popularity. i think d4's playerbase is much larger than what we think solely based on the amount of marketing blizz has done

free economy is essential for an arpg to flourish. having account bound items and non-tradeable items degrade itemization and item hunting. if a player finds a unique or ab item they already have, they shouldn't be stuck with it, they should be able to sell it to get something else they need. that moment was just ruined over shitty game design

and no, selling it to the vendor is not a good trade off (crossed literally said this) rofl
