Someone told me you must drop the item on the floor?
If this is true how do you know the other person won’t scam you?
You can trade request by clicking on another player while in town, never drop anything on the floor.

Unless you are using traderie and trading pgems for items. In which case most times the item provider will drop their item first. I dont kno the ettiquitte, but because of old habbits of games crashing and games being lost I scoop up the item and promptly start mass dropping my pgems or jewels or runes. I havent had a negative reaction to doing this. But if its item for item scale of trading avoid the ground trading and use the window.

So wait a minute, my friend Assgayro from school who has played D2 back in 2001 said the only way to do this back in the days was to drop the item on the floor.
Was it like this long ago? when did they fiix this trading?
That was true for the original Diablo, but Diablo II has always had the trade window.
oh maybe he talking about D1 then
trading wasn’t really a thing in diablo 1 though.
mainly because duping existed. Literally everyone who played it back then knew how to dupe. Duping existed in-game and it was really easy to do. People would just give you all the best gear in the game just because it meant nothing. There WERE a small minority of players who played legit, but even they didn’t do much trading afaik. I remember being given a godly plate of the fox by a legit player once. It would have “replaced” my godly plate of the whale.
Yep. I can still remember figuring out how to dupe on diablo 1 on the first playstation. Dropped something on the ground and left the game but didnt save and wehn i came back in game my item was back and still on the ground. Once I figured this out me and my cousins started duping all our gold in mass. Then we just kept reshopping the vendors for godly Cruel collossus blades. I was surprised that no video game magazines ever posted the dupe trick. I almost sent it in myself but was like, nah this the first time I found a bug in a game that no one else seemed to know about so i kept it to myself and my circle.
oh, i was talking about on the pc. you’d drop the item on teh ground, move away a few feet, and when you went to pick it up, at the exact same time, you’d click on one of your potions(to pick up, not use). And if you did it right, at the right time. The item on the ground would go into your inventory, and the potion would turn into a duplicate of the item that was on the ground. You could do this with Elixirs, so you could max out all your stats at lvl 1. Same with any other item, gold, etc.
Good to know. I never got to take advantage of that exploit. I only got exposed to diablo from another friends computer. I had no way to get on a PC until I was 13 or around the time that diablo 2 had released. Also my first experience with a online videogame griefer came from the times I did get to play diablo 1 on pc with the (toll bridge troll) map exploit. Good times, even if I did turn into a toll bridge griefer myself back then lol.
i… i don’t actually know… because the game prevents you from reading what the other person is saying when your in the trade screen because blizzard is incompetent and tried ot migrate the terrible D3 chat over.
to open a trade window you click on their character in trade and they hit yes or no to start a trade then u drag items in the box and press the checkmark.
but trading is hard when u cant communicate >.>

i don’t remember any toll bridge grief. idk what that even is. when i played people used trainers with insta kill buttons on them. my first experience with one, i was trying to teleport over to where 3 other players were, and when i got there, I was insta-killed, then revived, over and over again until i left the game. I guess I should have known better when they didn’t send me a tp.
there was a 1x1 bottleneck on a bridge before the dungeon entrance on diablo 1. If you stood on that spot no one could get into the dungeon unless that player moved out of the way. Was mean players being mean and poor game design that it was a problem in the first place.
EDIT:
And yes they broke trade chat and !chat in game. And lobby chat is there but no one but bots uses that. Id bet they expected everyone to jus be mic’d up on discord and didnt even think this would be a issue. Sad that its still not fixed either. And friends list in game is also useless cause its on battlenet now. ;’/
Im thinking of playing I havent played since the first hours of ladder 3 launch. I think i need to reevaluate all my NL chars/gear and try to start playing some of my endgame builds.
Troll alert. Nobody is that dumb. He tries to pull on our legs here

yes yes yes everybody who has ever played D2 for the first time but was recommended it by some friend is surely trolling by asking common questions.
BINGO!!
Well you are trolling of course. Nobody who was playing so many hours of d3 or poe would be asking so dumb/noobish questions in multiple topics as you are.
