New interaction-free trading system

The current trading system is complete garbage. People put items up to manipulate the market, or people don't respond. I've been trying to buy an item now and 12 people so far haven't even bothered to respond, meanwhile I'm just wasting my time.

Add an interaction-free trading system where people's items are directly exchanged when you press a buy button. This way, everything is smoother, hassle-free, and you get rid of the people trying to manipulate the market as well. Not to mention it wouldn't have to annoyingly interrupt your gameplay as a seller.

If you need income/revenue motivation then add a microtransaction for a new stash tab that can handle these types of trades. Any item you purchase will be put in that tab.

Regardless, the current obnoxious, time-wasting trading system feels outdated and could really use a makeover.

EDIT: 23 people now. No response from any of them. Just trying to buy a simple Djinn Barya trial item.

EDIT#2: 32 people in a row now without a response. Much fun.

EDIT#3: Stopped counting after trying to buy from 40 different people without a single response. GG.

EDIT#4: It took probably another ~15 attempts or so to finally get to buy the item. So over 50 attempts spread out over about 3 hours in total to buy a single item. Garbage system. No other way to put it.

+1, one of my biggest complains since EA launch. Unfortunately, for some reason, devs are against it.

I'm not going to defend this game's terrible trade mechanics but just FYI based on how much spam I get still playing in Standard, there are a TON of people in the league that don't notice they're pinging people for items in Standard. I got tired of trying to tell them I can't trade with them. So, just make sure you're not one of them.
Use the pause/escape button to allow for players to pause what they're doing and allow for 1 button trade.
Yes, I agree with this contactless trade. It seems like all the pieces are there already. When listed, the game knows for exactly how much and where in stash it is located. If player receives a request, player sees the notification, and can hit the game pause button, and just choose Yes or No. If yes, popup the trade window and do it right there.

Why bother with add trader to party, make TP to exit map, go to stash, find item, put it local inventory, initiate trade window. So many steps.
It's another hill they want to die on just like ignoring all the disconnection and rollback of progress issues.
