I play LE with 4-6 friends every season and we play together but we mostly play alone while sitting in discord. We often get things that we would love to give to one another but the current trade system in this game is just not good for friends that play together.
With the addition of 4 player co-op for PS players you should make the trade system better between friends. You could put parameters in place like 1. must be friends for a certain number of hours. 2. Cannot buy loot from the AH and trade to friends. 3. Cannot sell things on the AH that are traded to you⦠etc.
But allowing people to play together but not to freely trade gear feels terrible.
This has been an on-going complaint/ask since they announced the item factions. You used to be able to do this via direct trading between players in the MG but RMT ruined it for you.
How is that any different to 4 player parties on the PC?
Unfortunately I donāt think thereās anyway to enable direct p2p trade that canāt be abused by RMT.
TBF, if youāre playing at the same time you can party up & then gift anything that drops while in the same zone or get resonances drop to give stuff that drops while not in the same instance.
No, you āearnā Resonances with a player by playing with them⦠then you can use the resonances to gift them items laterā¦
Itās EHGās way of trying to allow buddies to trade items while blocking RMT.
BUt to earn them you have to actually group and play together.
I think the resonance system is overcomplicated and dumb.
You can just make a guild/guild-hideout system with free trading betwen buddies in your guild⦠and simply limit guilds to max 10 players and only let an ACCOUNT join two guilds per season⦠and it will make RMT impossible and players will hardly notice the limit.
How will that make RMT impossible? It would actually be quite easy.
Player A wants to buy items. Player A joint the RMT guild. Player A buys 1B gold. Player A leaves the RMT guild. Guild is free to have someone else join it to buy.
Player A is even free to join the guild they actually want, but most likely Player A doesnāt even want to join a guild.
Donāt forget that RMT in LE isnāt about buying items, itās about buying gold, so you can buy the items.
I was being sarcastic on the fact that I played with my friend for a long time and barely droped doodoo. They clearly need a rework or a huge increase in drop rate. No joke I can play 30-40 hours with him and we may drop 2-3 golds andā¦thats it. Obisidan ones are a myth of some sorth. I think I dropped a total of 3-4? while playing in a party ever since they were introduced.
