It's a complex problem really, because if there's free and open trading then they have to make the good stuff so rare that the likelihood of you finding it yourself is exceedingly rare which devolves into botting like d2 did, and requiring outside sources to obtain gear/RMT. Not that having good loot being common (like D3) prevents botting, but it disincentivizes it to a certain extent. There has to be some middle ground though I don't know what the answer is. Instead of bind on trade or bind on equip perhaps limit the number of times an item can be traded to like 5. That opens it up to being a valuable item for multiple trades, but devalues it for the final trader (bad for seller, good for buyer). I don't know, spitballing, I do think everything including the best possible items must be tradeable at least once or the whole thing is just D3 all over again.
Diablo2 was ruined by patch 1.10 which changed the skills.. added synergies.. and ladder...
Before this there was no bots for years.. a pindal bot came out at somepoint. Then d2jsp bot which is what this websote was made for and why we all joined back then. (Ladder)..
Ladder makes a botting game profitable.
You seriously never botted diablo3 ?? Games pointless. Prob takes a week for 1000 paragon. Or a few weeks without.. then nuttin to do.. junk.
Jsp actually ruins tradimg as there are less ppl here trading and ppl flood the market.
20 years ago i channel traded 25 sojs per 3/20/20 sc until i had 40 of them. Along with gg barb gear. Took years. Now that is a good game with longevity. Now if they woulda added .08 items in .09 so we werent forced to dupe millions so we could pvp properly.. woulda been awesome and possibly stopped all the bs near the end.
A game where itens are traded in game and not here is a good thing for economy. If anything make trading in game only. No acc to acc.. simply threw an exchange system. Where everyone has access. No gurantee of who will get items. So u cant put an item up for cheap for someone to buy it and then trade fg or cash for it. Have rarer items etc. Also pvp.. no point in playing a game with no pvp.. as what r u playing for.. right there u have a game that would last years and years with end goal being pvp
