I realize I’m on jsp… what is now essentially a trading website… but I don’t understand how folks can view this as binary. Their entire enjoyment in an aRPG being completely determined by whether they can trade or not.
Idk, just doesn’t make sense to me at all.
You misunderstand. Any ARPG can be enjoyed for a few runs without trade, depending on the quality of their content.
But NO arpg has long term replayability and retention without trade. An economy drives people to farm. Open trade means anything you find but can't use has intrinsic worth to your build because you can sell it for something you need. When an economy dies out (or doesn't exist), the motivation to farm becomes much smaller because suddenly most of what you find has no value.

hmm you cant use jsp on that game so no difference between the two in my eye.
Yes you can use JSP, just don't mention it in game and don't make it obvious. People in PoE1 have been trading on JSP without issue.
