Why don’t we remove trading altogether?

I wouldn't mind if trade were done away with. I also wouldn't mind if it stayed.

I don't use it, apart from a few times I pawned some junk for regrets or chromes when I was messing around trying stuff out.

I get the point of trade, but I also think the point of playing a game like this is finally getting something cool and interesting, not convincing other people the crap I don't want is worth the crap they don't want so I can eventually get something good.

Mobs already have the good stuff, and they are willing to part with it relatively easily.

I'd rather spend my time playing the game, not spamming GLOBAL trying to hock my garbage, price check my garbage, and vaal my garbage into even more useless garbage for people's amusement.

I'm fine that that is how most players get by, and I'm not advocating the way I play. I don't consider it a handicap, I consider it a far more rewarding waste of my time than trading in a game where the barter system is the only system and prices change on every transaction and the goods themselves are randomized.

Well it now sounds like some people just need to pick up a different game rather than try and dramatically change a game most people have relatively no problem with.
