after playing thousands of hours of d2, poe, d3, and recently lost ark, ive realized trading for everyone kinda just takes away from enjoying the game. it endorses p2w, bots, playing to make money rather than to enjoy, and just creates this huge gap of the top % of players who whale for best in slot pieces with the players that dont have extra money to spend on buying gear. Yes, they can get lucky, find some good items and trade it, but theyll always be behind a p2w player or someone on jsp with 100k+ fg that can get anything he wants in minutes. Playing d2r again made me realize that, and even though i made 20k+ fg off it I realized that's all i got from d2, i just played to farm fg mindlessly. It's fine for d2r since thats how i always played it since i was a kid, but for d4 maybe trading not being 100% for every single item will be healthier for the game, but idk just my thoughts. I both love and hate trading sometimes its hard to say what's better.
Trading is pillar of Diablo arpg D1 D2 even early D3 had it... Imagine D2 without trading, just look what has D3 become when they took trading out... Type of game as a Diablo can't be good game without trading, they can and are tricking people to buy the game because of past glory of D1 D2, so people will buy it because of the huge game name since if you compare D2 with D3 you can see that thats almost hole diffrent type of game now, D4 can work without trading but then again it will be more of a mmorpg or something with many WoW elements(we alredy see mounts and big bosses) , but again, thats not arpg anymore, its a diffrent type of genre. But looks like many including devs didnt learn anything from D3 and with changing core elements of arpg game..
