Its clear that GGG will never fix the trade problem, so WE have to.

Whenever you message someone for an item, and they don't respond, I highly recommend to start absolutely putting them on blast. Let them know they are part of the trade problem, and if they don't want to take 10 seconds to trade for a 10 div item, then they should not list that item. Enough is enough having to message 30 f***ing people to get ANYTHING in this game.

PUT EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF RARE/MAGIC ITEMS ON THE AH GGG! WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF OUR TIME BEING WASTED!

It's against TOS to harass people. It's not against the TOS to list things and not respond. Choose wisely.

What if they're dealing with a boss or map event that cannot be stopped/paused/left early?

Also, if it takes you 30 whispers consider filtering more strictly and make sure it's a recent listing.

It's people listing items less than 5 minutes ago, and if they are mapping bossing eventing etc then they would reply in a couple minutes, instead they sit there and do nothing.

It's really weird how players like you guys make so many excuses for why we should have our time wasted. I don't get how you can justify taking an hour to buy 5 items when they could be done in 5 minutes from an AH.

I'm not justifying anything. I'm just not a fan of harassing people when they're mid uber elder or grabbing something from the fridge or harassing in general.

This is entirely on GGG and only they can fix it. I simply put anyone who does not respond on ignore and move on, easy.

If you EVER do that to me, I will put you on blast....straight to the devs and the moderators and anyone else I can find to get you banned from the game. I will screenshot everything as direct evidence and you would have zero defense. Your desperation for a trade has no bearing on how fast or how slow I choose to respond while I might be playing the game. Nor do your needs have any weight on how and when I choose to list items I want to trade.

The solution to the problem is not being an absolute dick. The solution is not messaging the first 30 people listed. I very rarely ever have to message more than maybe three people max for any item I want. Because the REAL trader and the REAL price are the ones that haven't listed it more than a day ago, nor are they listing it for cheaper than 90% everyone else.

It's genuinely hilarious that you think the response to this wouldn't just be blocking you immediately.

You are completely delusional if you think buyers have any power in this game... I block people if they don't have exact change ready when they get to my hideout. You think I'm going to hesitate even one millisecond to block someone who's bombarding me with messages while I'm trying to clear content?

hoho I'll just right click and ignore you, who are you to put me on blast.

No one can respond if they're busy unless they have a trade macro and everyone lost 3 F keys with this patch for originator maps. Just saying.

If recombs are going to be the mandatory crafting strategy for everyone going forward I'd really like to at least be able to buy bulk bases automatically.
