I really believe the game should be 90% self found, 10% community support via trades. Perfect rolls of course would be scarce… and thats ok.
- Being able to trade uniques will make this game viable for a long time like D2.
- Builds a community that makes it feel more like an open world (personal preference).
- Being able to find 90% of the uniques makes it to where you don’t have to participate in trading if that isn’t your cup of tea.
- No changes to drop rate as eventually the hunt will be perfect items which will be rare.
- Gives us something to do when we need a break from killing all them demons.
What blizzard can do to offset some of your concerns.
- Actively ban botters
- Actively ban spam
- Close RMT sites.
I think at minimum $100 per purchase + seasonal income should be sufficient to keep a franchise game clean.
In addition please keep discussion civil so the thread doesnt get removed. Different opinions are ok. I know they wont do it but having different servers for trade and non trade was suggested in the last thread and that sounded great. Keep the good ideas coming!
