BAN GOLD TRADE - Alternate Player Tradeable Currency - possibilities?

There has been only one real solution to the problem of bots and duplicators. It was a huge problem for D3 and a successful solution was created and implemented. No trading except between party members for a limited time. All gear is otherwise account bound.

I’m not arrogant enough to believe that my first thought on a fix would magically work, I did however want to spur discussion that may lead to ideas that could help.

Time to dig this one up again:

Suggestion! --- limit trade to guild members only

So we got trading unlocked for basically everything that is not modified. It allows players to get into Diablo 4 quicker in order to join the late game party. And you can share good finds with good friends or make loads of money of unknown origin. But it also kind of questions Diablo 4 as a game itself. Is the loot hunt so uninteresting that we need a comfortable way to skip it? Gold/Item sellers and bots benefit a lot from the looser restrictions. Tradable items have become more attractive, th…

TLDR: This is basically how Diablo 3 worked, but expanded to guild members. It is sort of an in-between solution, where the number of possible trading partners is only limited by the guild member limit (which is 150 and can be increased). Bots cant do anything in this system when it comes to items. As for gold, I am in favour of reserving it for NPC trade only.

The reason why I think this is overall a win to Diablo 4 is that the guild members are working together for loot, like in World of Warcraft. Guilds are in need of purpose and here I would suggest to add a guild auction house or basar.
