I am all for a gold based economy and not a barter based one. It definitely helps new players and while it would simplify trading, this is a hack and slash game not a trading tycoon game.
While the barter system in D2 may have been okay it became completely broken with the release of 1.10 meaning the godly runewords and crazy level of duping. What this did was close off the economy too anyone not already involved. I could do 500 mf runs but it wouldn't mean anything simply because hrs became the standard trade item and all of the uniques and sets I had found in the 500 runs were worth nothing. The economy is clearly broken when 90% of the players are alienated.
Too the people saying basically it was great to be able to rip people off just because they need something, I have to ask are you serious? I can't wait till walmart realizes how much people rely on toilet paper and its price goes up to $20 a roll...
