Disenchant items and the Salvage Bench should be removed..

Disenchant items and the Salvage Bench should be removed and swapped out with it happening automatically when we sell our loot, instead of getting gold, as we would in Path of Exile 1.

Not only would it reduce the number of clicks we need to do when we sell our loot to vendors, but it would also stop gold from being an indirectly tradeable currency.

Instead, gold should, in my opinion, be earned by playing the game.
Monsters could drop more gold.
Quest rewards could reward gold.
You could be putting bounties on smaller bosses' heads and reward us by going out of our way to kill them rather than skipping them as we would currently during the acts.

When it comes to what items should be worth to vendors: Just make it a mix of what disenchanting and salvaging reward was. And ofc add some new value to the items that weren't salvageable or disenchantable, like a Scroll of Wisdom.

Cheers

I liked the old vendor trade system we had in PoE1. It felt like the old Horadric Cube. What we have in PoE2 is just adding unnecessary extra clicking to do the same exact thing that was done in its predecessor game made 12+ years ago.
