totally sign this.
back in closed/open beta it was the same system and nobody had any problem, because people knew what they are doing and most of them had experiences with Diablo 1 and 2 (where trading was even more inconvenient).

people are just too lazy or stupid nowadays... dont know.
If you have a good item you will be able to sell it... maybe it just takes a couple of weeks

The only problem is that IIR/IIQ is way too overpowered and only very few builds can use a lot of IIR/IIQ and are viable in lategame.
Without IIR/IIQ you'll probably get 1 full inventory of loot per map, with IIQ/IIR you'll get 2 time a full inventory of loot only from map boss drop...
And of course most items you find are crap... It also has something to do with not being able to farm bosses and wasting most of your time with fightning white and blue monsters wich is incredible unrewarding ;-)

This forum can access the in-game data so trading with a browser based system should be the ideal solution.
Just go to a trade thread, click that item you want and send them an offer you pick from your in-game stash, they click accept, boom, trade done.
You can't really organize things better in-game than on a forum where people can have discussions on shop threads instead of it all blending into a stream of madness that is the trade chat.
Right now even if you found someone you want to trade with, that person has to meet you in a town where dozens of other avatars scurry around nonstop. Very impractical.

This is only because there IS effort involved in trading. As soon as GGG puts in a convenient way for trading, no one will be able to sell anything that is not (almost) perfect.

This. Sadly the mememe generation doesn't see past their own blinding aura of testosterone laced ignorance.

As far as I'm concerned items are worth whatever the in game vendors will pay for them. If a new trade system meant I could never sell anything for more than a single alchemy jewel I would still be better off

So since you guys like to spend all day trading, and make profit off of noobs that dont know any better , you want to keep it that way.........sounds about right for the way this community thinks. The rest of us would like a better way of trading I bet I have 50 ex worth of stuff just sitting there because i cant be bothered with this current sytem.

Enjoy it while you can, if this game wants to survive drops need rto be more self found or trading needs to be made easier, pick one

People have been exposed to well implemented systems in games other than Diablo.

I agree.

And if I wanted to spend all day flipping items, I would be selling used cars to Africa, not playing a video game.
