Diablo 4 limits the trading of high-end loots, but rare loots can still be traded. It’s just that Diablo 4 equipment has too many affixes. There is no affixe-filtering search function, and the transaction will consume a lot of time.

No. Personally I dont want another clone for dupes to thrive like D2, D2R and D3 with AH.

No, but keep asking if it makes you feel better.

Best thing to happen to D3 was the AH being removed. I prefer to PLAY the game, not the AH to get gear. I can play with my friends and trade stuff as well.
I do not want bots farming, selling, real life money black market scamming/trading, accounts stolen to gold farm/advertise/bot/strip and sell.
Just no.

So do they: 
Zaven: Our underlying philosophy here is we think it is the best when you can kill a monster, and get loot that way. So we want to make sure that whatever we do, we kinda respect that part of Diablo. It is core to Diablo.

I wish they would just make their own trading platform like D2jsp – But have their own proprietary currency, and reset it for every season. And hopefully they would choose not to sell the currency for real money.
It sounds like they just don’t want to commit any resources to having to deal with bots. So in the end, these decisions come down to profit and loss rather than the variable of fun.
Truth be told, the biggest feature that I wouldn’t mind (and would actually like) to be brought back from the auction house for D4 (and even D3), was the interface that allowed you to see your stash contents as well as the inventories of all of your playable characters. It made finding gear less tedious especially when playing multiple alts. Just combine that with an item name, type, and affix search (similar to D3’s stash search that we currently have, just improved), and that’d be great imo.

They don’t need to bring back Auction House with D4 at all. Since sessions allow for many players at once, you won’t really have issues finding the right traders but as trading is limited, you won’t have mass profits from repetitive trading.
I call that fair.

It’s funny, people thinking that they have to use the AH if it’s there. All the “I prefer to play” comments really crack me up. AH is a tool like anything else. Use or don’t. I used it and I played the game. WoW and D3.
The AH wasn’t the issue, it was the 
heads that would spam gold and items and hack and steal accounts, etc. etc. etc. You know the “that’s why we can’t have nice things” cliche/meme that has been told and retold since forever.
I do miss the D3 AH and I miss the old WoW AH (the new version was the last straw for me), but I do not miss the spamming or people complaining that they got hacked or duped. Then Again, I disabled all non-pvp/guild/clan chat in WoW and D3, so that stopped being an issue… until I heard it in those chat channels too. 
I personally liked the AH but I can understand the reasons it had to go.
The problem is, the way Diablo 3 is right now it’s not ideal. It’s too easy to gear up, finding the legendaries you want and max them. People say they don’t want the AH because they want to play the game, maybe get that rush when you drop the legendary you wanted, but it’s no rush when you know you will get it within the first day of the season with little effort.
The items should be rare, hard to get and satisfying when you do, but also they shouldn’t define a build in a way that if you don’t have if you simply can’t play the game. As in +400% dmg legendaries and stuff like that.
They need to find a balance between being hard to get but not make players feel like they can’t progress without it. From all the horrendous things Diablo Immortal did, this is one thing they got it right imo. The legs were kind of rare (not that rare considering you have few of them since mobile game) but they gave bonuses like +10% damage. You played the game and upgraded your items and gems as you got the resources needed, that’s how you should progress imo.
TL;DR: Obtaining gear should be harder than it currently is in D3, but the gear should not be so build defining like the +10,000% dmg bonuses we have now.
Yes it was. Just because it “wasn’t necessary” to use it, its mere existence had a deep impact on the gameplay. It affected everyone, regardless whether one used it or not.

The problem is that when games tailor drop rates to the availability of in or out of game trading. Personally I have trouble thinking of any gameplay more boring then haggling or wasting my time playing a auction house/ trade center. I play Diablo to kill monster and find loot.

That is the stuff!
Online games with in-trade system are asking to dupe/fliping/scamming behavior. Just limit the gear and resources to drop. That is why, SSF is the best.

Only because people chose too, i.e. QQ. The games drops were obviously good enough or people would have posted items the found. Gold AH or money AH. I found plenty of items and I used the AH when I had a ton of gold to use, just like WoW. I guess I am a different type of player.
Then do so. I did. You don’t have to use the AH if you don’t want to. I played both AH characters and PL (using a D2 term here, Pure Legit) characters. Same now in D3. I have characters that use only what I find and other characters that get loot from friends, clanmates, public group players. Matter of fact, I do that with D2:R, just like I did with D2 and D2LoD. All you people want to do is cry all the time. Good grief. Are you trying to ruin everything?

OMFG I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!! So hilarious. That one and Super Troopers are the only 2 that can constantly crack me up, watching it over and over again.
No ah or whatsoever!
Just allow us to upgrade our gear to perfect by actually playing the game.

AH can ensure the fairness of the transaction and avoid the occurrence of fraud.

Sadly AHs have more cons than pros so, no thanks.
