    Loot trading system is already a giant fail.

    So for those ppl who don't have 4 friends to play with will have to worry about randoms lying about trading and stealing your loot. This is what I predict will happen. Hey wanna trade random dude? Sure! Both players drop loot and other random snatches it up and logs out. Watch the forums go crazy with ppl crying mark my words.

    That would be your fault for trusting randoms. If people decide to trust people they don't know, they have to accept the risk of being gypped.

    Want to trade with another player? leave group, and join a group with that player. Then trade. That is how it works

    People are going off about this stuff without even knowing exactly how it works. Wait, let it get released, then judge how well it does or doesn't work

    lol.


    Yes well it is not like we are ever going to get good use out of it. I mean...seriously.

    "Hey I just found MIDAS! again"

    "Ow cool...I still need it"

    "Well...lets trade! What do you have?"

    "Ehmmm....well....I found a bag full of purples?"

    "Yeah..."

    "No but seriously...this one grip I found is really good"

    "....ok Tom no offense but...lets see what Harry has"

    "I have spiffy HE knee caps with excellent perks"

    "Really? Well lets trade!!"

    "Ok"

    "GOD DAMN IT HARRY YOU LIED!"

    *disconnects*

    yeah its not trading, this 'trading' is on the level of diablo 1... if it was trading you will have a popup menu like you have invite or kick and it will pop a box where both of the players could put items for verification and than an accept button. Dropping loot randomly is probably the worst idea ever

    Its like they were like lets have trading in the game, ok sure what is the fastest way to implement? let people drop loot, awesome idea...

    You have to be in the group with them when they get it, and then you only have two hours to get it from them

    That is why they are doing it this way, as it will prevent people selling their items

    You can solve that with a DIABLO III style trade where its between two players and you can see exactly whats on the table.

    Huh? The way they have set up the system is to actively avoid this problem. Anybody asking for trading with no rules is asking for this to become a thing.
