God I loved Diablo 2 back in the old days. I'm a die hard hardcore player and was thrilled to learn that Diablo 3 would have hardcore. However, ever since they removed trading all together I feel like the game will never be the same as its former glory days. Don't get me wrong, I understand why they did it. When you have items that can be traded and sold for money, they will inevitably be people who try to cheat and game the system. From what I understand a big hack at one point and it caused an imbalance in the economy so they decided to just do away with trading all together. Part of the fun of the game was the find really rare items that took forever to find. When you did it was a thrill that no other game has given me yet. If you couldn't use it, that was OK because you knew you would trade it for something awesome. Now I can spend 15 minutes and I find about 5 different uniques all perfectly tailored to my class. Its just not the same thrill.
