Not going to get rid of it. They going to just like d3 did. They going to make it where anything worth having not tradable which is fine.
But for this season. It would of been nice to have something to do other than pit/helltide event. Because everything else like playing a LB sorc compared to a Bash barb in terms of items per hour.
And yeah the item design in this game would support the d3 trade within group only system. Except that blizzard refuses to quit punishing you for playing multiplayer in a multiplayer game so that is not going to happen either.
