Why not add an in-game market for trades?
I’m a “lone wolf” type of player. I like to play online, but I don’t do PvP or trades. Maybe I just like the idea of if someday I just decide, I can trade some rare items after my hundreds of hours invested in the game.
But, I could be doing it right now with so many things that are just food for Charsi, things that aren’t worth spending hours in the lobby to see if anyone is interested, but that could help other players with their own chars.
If we had a handy system to advertise items in a game market, where other players could easily find items with some filters (with their names or status/effects), I believe the experience of players (veterans or beginners like me) could increase 100%.
If devs are concerned about the game quality-of-life, this is definitely an implementation that would greatly improve D2R experience as an modern version of the classic.
Furthermore, this is something that many players already use through alternative sites, including in the specific subforum here.
As this type of improvement always comes from a community commotion, here’s my record of a first-time player who loved the game and immediately missed a market in the game where we could search items ads and make proposals that the another player could simply accept or not.
This is something that was already tried in the past, and even with the best intentions, this system didn’t end up beneficial for the game.
Wyatt Cheng (who worked on Diablo 3 at the time) recently gave his thoughts on the whole auction house thing. It’s a good read if anyone’s interested.
