I have been here for only a few months, but in that time I have come to believe this site is contributing to the demise of Lod, a game I like very much. I have been playing Diablo since it first came out. What 13 plus yrs?? I have sent many of my friends here to trade. Every one of them has said the same. And I use my words to sum up their comments. ""How can I buy items when someone with hundreds or thousands of fg outbid me?"" ""How can I sell the few items I find playing the game when we have guys running bots 24/7?"" ""To many cheap dupes on site, my stuff is worth nutten""

I know many here dont play Lod, this site has become a Fg banking facilty. Dupes and bots to try and get fg............for what purpose?? Guys you are killing this game. Plz......its a game!!

Tho I have felt like this for some time I recent got my GF to join jsp. "Her first comments were what a waste of time".

I know what I have said may not be welcomed by many. Some will say "Its because I have 0 fg" lol. NO. I use trades to faciltate PLAYING Lod, not to create a bank. Fg is for getting stuff to help with playing the game.

When you vote, plz think of this.
WHAT SENSE LOOKING FOR HIGH RUNES WHEN U CAN GET A DUPE FOR NUTTEN?
WHAT SENSE DOES IT MAKE TO BUILD A CHARACTER TO FARM KEYS, ORGANS AND TORCHES WHEN SOMEONE IS DUPING ORGANS AND DUMPING THEM ON THIS SITE??

This is an economy. People with thousands of fg have worked hard to accumulate it.
In addition... If you reset everyone's fg to 0, how would anyone bid on anything? The economy would fail.

Not everyone makes their FG through Diablo 2. For example, Path of Exile is a FG-maker for a lot of people. So what you're suggesting would potentially put a lot of people out of hard-earned FG through other means. Not to mention, some users purchase their FG or obtain it through Donate for Me, so they would have paid/donated for nothing.

Sorry but I am a big no here. Put forth the effort to make the FG. You don't HAVE to make it through D2, there are plenty of other mediums to use to make FG.
