Trust me when I say I wish an ARPG could be fully open for trading. It's not possible anymore without ruining the game.

Look at D2R, I can spend $20 and get an entire fully decked out character. Many I know who want to play d2r can't bring themselves to because its just p2w, completely.

Open trading makes bots profitable, makes real money transactions possible too. D2 was one of my favorite games of all time, but that was because when it was released the internet sucked and information about about how pay to win the game was wasn't obvious to the players. That, and I was young and ignorant.

If D4 is fully open economy, everyone will complain about pay to win, and it will lose 90% of the player base so quickly.

Stop spreading lies

"The top-selling game of the franchise is Diablo III along with its expansion, Reaper of Souls, with over 65 million copies sold."


D3 was perfect until they closed the RMAH. after that 98,4% of the players stopped playing.

A very small amount of narcissists autists wanted to shut down trading and the AH. Because they couldn't handle being worse at trading than others and both type of players shared the ladder.

Blizzard made the mistake to block trading and they had to make crazy changes to itemization so that there was still some sort of goal in the game

The lesson of this for blizzard: leave Trading alone and run 2 ladders so both type of players can enjoy the game (trade ladder and non trade ladder). Besides that they need to invest a lot in bot catching. This will be a big money maker since the cheapest copy of the game is 70$.

thank you for providing evidence of my point. DIABLO 3 was a massive failure. That's why it is dead.

No you are wrong, it was a great success, the best diablo success ever (still) until they removed the AH & Trading. 98.6% of the players left and the game became unstable because it was designed for trading and now blizzard had to mess with item/set bonusses to make the game and progression viable for the left over 1.4% players.
