Trading is fine, there are just more people selling for gold because it's near the end of the ladder.
Once the ladder resets trading will go back to being just as good as it's always been.
Game can't be blamed for taking advantage of a situation that is going to happen no matter what he does.
Even if gold didnt exist, the server would still always die close to the end of the ladder and trading would lessen.
So basically if gold didnt exist, half the server wouldnt even be online right now.
Everyone who is selling for gold wouldve stopped playing instead and that fixes nothing.
So at least members have a reason to stick around and sell stuff until the very end.
And also I worked hard to get all the items from this current ladder just for it to reset.
So atleast i have an option to sell it all for gold to have something to show for it next ladder.
Everyone is too busy complaining instead of taking advantage of something we all have access to.
There are a lot of good reasons to keep gold and to add more things to buy with gold.
Annihilus needs to grow and apparently so do a lot of the players who play it.
