Nope. Not gonna happen, and in my opinion it's good that it isn't. You need to earn the items yourself, and the trading restrictions we currently have actually panned out really well for the majority (there are some edge cases, but the pro's outweigh the con's by far). Just to reiterate again, one of the things that Josh said at Blizzcon was so 100% right in my opinion; starts at ~48:33 in the following video:
"Trading has the potential to wreck the reward loop, just like the auction house did". Absolutely 100% agree - if I could trade my clan mates, who have been away for a few weeks, some of my awesome gear I found like my 2nd Kridershot that is idling on a twink, it would be awesome for them... but it would also make it a bit more pointless for them to play and farm for it. Plus, it just doesn't feel great if you jump into the game, get all awesome gear right from the start and... that's it. Just like the AH. And of course we're not even talking about the potential exploitation through "trading clans" (your 30 day thing does nothing, you could easily join a D2JSP trading clan or whatever and just play GRs with your friends over friends list).
I always asked for trading in the game since AH left and Smart loot cames out, but you got a point there ... I got a few items that are also idling there and could get some worth if trading was possible...
but yea, we could go for another way, and make a loot class selection. Iknow smart loot is not 100% but it would be awesome if we could choose what class we would like to be selected by smart loot (kinda the same functionality that exists in WoW).
Since we can earn shards with one character and spend all of them with another one, I guess this would not kill the game as trading system would do.
if you dont find a legendary in the first 10 runs, just logout and go play something else ... your rng is bugged for that time ... dont even waste time playing more...
if you find some useless legs and souls in the first 10 runs,just logout and go play something else ... your rng will be bad and you will find only useless stars (souls)
if you find something really really good in the first 10 runs, printscreen, call your friends, say the game is the best game in the world, and go answer rng is rng in the forums, and dont forget to logout so you will no be frustrated on this day.
played a month, im done with the hardcore mindset play now ... kinda same feeling as you.. I need two set pieces, that I can not trade and do not know when Ill get it ...
So now when friends call to play, I go, make a few bounty/rifts just for ''fun'' without looking for any kind of progression and get back to another game ... waiting them remove BoA items (or any other kind of GOOD buff cuz' 100% of 0 still 0, lol jk) so I can get back hardcore for this =D
ppl talk about trade like its an obligation ... if it turns the game easy for you, just play purist like today, self found or whatever it calls ...
I like the idea of trade, trade > legs (soul), we could make good use of garbage legs trading it for legs for other classes and stuff .. I dont care about credit card characters .. there is no competition in this game ... and you willl always have the chance to play without trading ...
I really dont like the Bind to account system, trade is good, I dont care if many will make credicard barbarians of whatever, just play they way you like, this will not make the game less fun for me, I play only with my friends, how this can impact my fun? lol
I also prefer the d2 trade yell system, I didnt like the AH system so much ...
When you start to find 6 mempos per week (rng is rng, or not? well, I lost the track of how many times I ve find the same item), trade becomes your best friend ... lol
hope someday they remove the bind to account .. or change it to bind on equip / bind on trade .. or at least let us trade plans and some other items ..
repeat drops everywhere .. I found 4 wailing host rings since yesterday while ''rifting'' ... and a lot of blackthornes ... farming torment btw ... tired .. lol
Since RoS and level70 I found a Chantodo Source, Tal Rashas Source (today), Firebird Armor, 2 rings sets, and a lot of blackthorn ... but yeah droop rate on sets are so low compared to legendary
I am playing a lot of wizard since last 3 months and I want to go for a STR class. I tried to go over the forums but I see a lot of builds only and I have not much idea of those...
Would you guys give some advice about barbarian and crusader? are the dmg output like the same? Does barbarian have more mobility over Crusader (due to barb can use run and WW and Crusader using BH)?
All I know about Crusader is a thunder blessed hammer build, and about barbarian, rend or ww ... Seems barbarian have more freedom when it comes to mobility while the crusader must be kinda stucked in the herd
Well, since I know almost nothing from both, would like your advices, pros, cons ... I am also reading both forums to gather more information
I tried Arcane Torrent but I didnt feel ok with that, seems I am being hit more, cant kill mobs faster enough, need more aim, I have some %arcane dmg items also and the dmg was higher than my FO ... dont know why but I feel FO still better, at least for my gameplay and control ... seems I dont know how to play arcane torrent atm, maybe later
4 hours till I find a leg ... neanderthal ... tired today ... rng is rng .. my girlfriend watching movies almost found the same amount of leg as me ...

Yesterday, me and friends found a lot of legendaries doing rifts. In 4-5 hours of game all of us get like 7-10 legs ...
Then we played again today, and none of us found legs like yesterday, like 1-3 in 4 hours of rift ...
Many will say RNG is RNG, but is so weird how stuff works, one day all of us were luck with RNG, the other day all of us had bad luck with it ...
Ok RNG exists but it seems that exists something more in that RNG script ...
this RNG is so weird
