Another Season of dupes and trade blocks. Every season there is a dupe exploit that requires trade to be disabled for multiple days, it is getting quite old.
Most players want an Auction House but then they would just have to shut that down to when inevitably another dupe comes into play.
My suggestion (will probably make alot of player mad at first but I believe would be better for the game) is to make a Marketplace.
Here is how i think it should go,
1) Everything has a set price
EX 1. Stygian Stones are set at a buy/sell price of 15m each,
2. Each item has a set price regardless of base stat and has increased prices for each GA on the item
2) What comes into the Market is what can go out of the Market
EX. If nobody is selling Stygian Stones then nobody can buy Stygian Stones.
3) Daily Limit on summoning Materials (this will make it so that everybody has a share to what is available, would have to be tested to find a good Limit and should be limited by account)
Here is where it would make people mad.
With the Marketplace I also suggest almost completely eliminating trade, including drop trades. Only trade that would be available is if you are in a party and the item drops while you are party members. Once you leave party item is no longer tradable.
I know what your thinking though, if my friend has and extra egg I need to summon Tormented Durial what then?
I also suggest that before any boss is summoned there is an option for all party members to add mats to summoning alter before selecting to summon a regular or tormented boss (all mats entered this way will be gone so be wary how many runs you add).
By implementing this system it would eliminate Real Money Transactions, use of 3rd party websites to sale items, if there is a dupe exploit for items it would be easily identified by the influx of the same item into the marketplace and the team identify if it is a dupe or maybe a content creator dumping items into game to help casual plays(Rob with the winterglass this season), it would add another and easier way to make gold to use for Masterwork and rerolls.
Overall I think would make the game more enjoyable by being able to get gear for your build without having to grind out 100s of millions of gold for 1 item on a 3rd party website that will likely be unread/ignored due to time zone differences.
Any other suggestions is welcome this is just what I’ve thought of…
