is blizzard going to bring this back...i want this game to be like d2 where trading was a big part...now i feel if u dont trade in game first few minutes or w.e then you cant trade at all...which is stupid what if a friend wants to help me out with gear he cant bc its account bound? thats just ridiculous...
sorry...just venting
Not really my point....just miss the day where like sojs were currency and trading was a big part of the game...why if i find something good for another character and he has something i could use we cant trade?
I gotta agree, why is the option to trade even in the game when there is literally NOTHING you can trade.
Legendaries and such may stay untradable, but things like gems or gold - seriously. Glad to have those tons of Topaz gems filling my bag with no purpose whatsoever, when my friend is constantly running out of them
As I understand it, they wanted to curb people botting and buying/selling items on third party sites. They also wanted to give the legendary items really good drop rates, and they couldn't really do that if you could trade because then people would just be handing them out.
So, you can't trade, but you can actually find really good items on your own.
Oh thanks, yeah... Google still shows the link but it doesn't work anymore on Twitch, I guess they took it down. No idea how Twitch works. Inserted a Youtube link, hope that stays. I should download all those vids in time...
I mean i just think it takes away a big part of the game that i enjoyed...its a shame all the nonsense from the ah(that blizzard created mind you...they made a pretty penny off it so they dont care) ruined a big part of the game...i almost rather they nerf drop rates a bit and allow trading but only through like agreements in like the trade chat room in the game or something...its almost like whats the point the game can basically be asingle player game now...i dunno just my opinion
Honestly I think it's something they are going to backpedal on a bit sooner or later. Trading being non-existent isn't good for the game, even if it isn't as bad as the AH.

Sure. Lots of people feel this way, and were very vocal about it. And it's a totally valid opinion. But you asked why they removed trading, and we told you - to make finding items through gameplay the best way. They took the pro-trade argument into consideration, and decided to go in a different direction.
I don't want trading or an AH to come back. However, I would like to see more options for things to do with excess mats and gems. Maybe Blizz will let you buy blood shards/rift keys with marquis or imperials in the future? Could also be cool do something like pay gems for a higher chance at a specific stat with the Mystic, buy another storage tab, etc.
