Seems the economy is still fixated on these “markets” systems.

There’s still items that are identical being traded

Gauntlet is down

The list Carry’s on of things in which should’ve been addressed this year imho.

Kind of confused why none of this was addressed this year. I haven’t played in a while, so just really surprised is all that the game hasn’t been cleaned up a bit.

Are we socially accepting this version of Diablo? Are other people not asking for the above to be addressed?

There are unfortunately too many people who just don't care enough about broken/unfinished games. Why else do you think companies continue to do this? More accept it is what it is. Those who fight, good for you. Just know you'll likely always be disapointed.

Just seems odd as the game is relatively new(ish).

Dev is scared to address this. As off this moment, there would be 2 groups of players. One that is with us, play a lot, trade a lot, hit endgame build within a week, ofc with the help of cheap mats and exploit. The other group is the casual who probably play 10 hours a week and will be nowhere to get to endgame without the help of exploits. If dev is to address and completely fix this duping thing which i hope they do, this will basicly make it impossible for the casuals to hit endgame every season. Dev has no balls to come out and say noone should hit endgame if they don’t spend time and effort to grind as a traditional diablo genre. But rather they want to promote d4 as a game for everyone, game that anyone can win and finish, which resulted into grinding players got bored out after 1-2 weeks into season.

I don't think the casual is getting the duped items though.

They are. 1$ for a few stacks. My guild casuals are actively buying at least to confirm.

Probably they just can't fix it for some reason, which is strange.

I'm sure they can. They just care more about micro transactions and battle passes cosmetics to give a shit about the actual gameplay.

for science
