Keys, (used to be Organs), and Runes have been the go-to trading currency since… 2007? At least.
This is not new; D2 always had currencies. Duped SOJs, PSkulls, HRs, Organsets, keys, etc.
The reason is that these are small, quantifiable in rarity, and because of precedent easily accepted as currency. I also leave the second I get lowballs, or I farm their game. It indicates that the person either doesn’t know what they’re talking about or they’re not going to give anything good.
dont tell me what to pay or wat to do. and as far as prices go - EVERYONE & their cat has a different idea of wat something costs - if u think there are set prices, especially in the past month when everything has been volatile due to balance patch and ladder, you are clueless - cross region trading throws prices out of whack even further.
iow - keep up or be left behind
and theres nothing wrong at all with community driven forums with their own pricing - the biggest communities set the trends and those trends only bleed somewhat in other places meaning explore other options for better deals
