Trade Hate: Which one takes more skill?

So let me ask, if I wanted to acquire these 3 items:

Does it require more skill and/or knowledge about the game to:

• 1. Kill monsters for currency/items
• 2. Understand the currency/item market trends
• 3. Manage your "bankroll" to balance the risk/reward of buying/selling certain items
• 4. Successfully negotiate with other human players to strike a deal

or

• 1. Kill monsters, hoping for a lucky drop

I think it would take more skill to drop the Voll's.

Some leet fucking uber skillz. Being as the only way one can get it is to trade for it.

Pretty sure OP loved vanilla d3.

RMAH no. I hated it.
Gold AH, yes. They should've kept it.

Current implementation of Reaper of Souls where items are account-bound? Hell no. There's absolutely no social aspect to the game anymore. No trading. Barely any chatting. Buffed droprates make items feel worthless.

Self found skillz > shopping skillz.

Regardless of the answer to your question you would still be able to continue playing trade sim on standard. SFL would have no effect on you.

You can play SF in any league you want and not have it effect other players. The fact that you want an entire league actually shows that you DO want it to effect other players.

No one has been able to argue against this fact yet. You can just SF in the league you're in right now. The gist of the real thing you want is for everyone else to have to play by your rules as well.

I guarantee every single person who argues for a SFL is from Diablo 3 and they got spoiled on the tailored drop system and now they can't handle playing video games without being hand-held or given drops specific to them.




Lazy lazy lazy. This is exactly what happened in W.o.W. after Burning Crusade with everyone demanding their welfare epics.

Jelly?

Way to show your ignorance. The amount of items you've been able to find on your own proves absolutely nothing about your skill. It only proves that you got lucky on drops, which is exactly the point I was making in the OP.

I was being sarcastic.

There's as much skill involved in thousands of hours twatting monsters in a video game as there is shopping in a video game.

Both equal to the amount of fucks given to this silly thread.

FWIW, where self found requires player input, is in the synergies of items that are not picked off a shelf and the creating of builds with them. I'm sure that part just went way over you, always.

In all seriousness though you got mad self found lootz Anuhart, keep on grindin' man.

Trade and Self found together is too stronk (most of them i got from ambush and anarchy).
Time played = currency
