If Diablo 4 does not have player trading, I won't be buying it - Long time gamer and fan

There’s a lot of reasons they don’t make expansions for D2; D2 being a failiure is not among them. It’s way too old to make expansions for and was created by a team who are no longer with Blizzard.

Expected reaction from you. You sing different tune when it comes to D2.

I’ve seen clearly what they said. They don’t want people to be able to buy all of the best gear in the game. But they also talked about end game stuff being tradable, just not all of it.

The main thing is that Blizzard want to win back players like me, who have given up on the frachise after D3. They arn’t going to win players back with a shallow trading system that was only made to ‘fool’ us into thinking trading was back. You can see the consequences of this on the forum already.

Their entire plan to win back fans with D4 so they can make large profits selling expansions is going to fall flat if they fail to convince us to return to the franchise.

Then you are prepared to disappoint because I don’t see that they will remove the trading restriction. Remember when they said they won’t repeat the AH mistake? It is pretty implied that they won’t allow players to buy power. The one-time trade is pretty much hinted you what kind of direction that they are going to. You can be denial as much as you wanted, but when D4 is launched with the current trading method, those d2 players will still going to flock on it to play and then whine at the forum at the same time. If everyone actually lives up to what they said, Blizard would have died in 2012 ago.

If many consider D4 a failed game, as they do D3, large profits from selling expansions is not going to happen. If fans decide this is another D3 and don’t play or stop playing, I wonder if Blizzard will even stick to their plan to release regular expansions. They’ll probably put the franchise on ice.

This is what D2 said the same for Diablo 3 in 2012 and guess what? They are wrong. Diablo 3 somehow able to make up to 39 million sales.
