Most trades at least on the site are Ladder, by a very large margin. Green line represents all trades, yellow line represents Ladder trades. So the gap inbetween is the proportion of NL trades.
Wow! I was kind of certain that there were more players and higher trade frequency on ladder than on non-ladder, but I didn't think the difference would be that large.
I'm in CET (Central European Time), so that's UTC+1 normally and UTC+2 during DST.
My profile says Ladder, but I play both Ladder and Non-Ladder.
Well, do keep in mind that the difference isn't just "ladder vs. non-ladder" but "progressed vs. new".
Everyone and their mom was trading for everything early on in both, ladder and non-ladder.
Now though, a ton of folks in non-ladder have all of the "base gear" they need and are only looking for perfect rolls or very specific, extra rare pieces, in turn resulting in significantly less trades.
That'll affect NL a lot more than L, simply due to the half year head start.
That'd also explain the overall curve though with trades in general dropping massively, spiking back up for ladder start and now dropping again.
(Though there are additional reasons for that)

I'm not surprised. Most people already got BiS gears on non-ladder.
While on ladder, people buy every single item for their fresh characters in the first month.
That is reasonable. Most of us really got a ton done within the first month.
While some others patiently do their stuff in 11 months of non ladder. Now almost level 90 on my main char (Bone necro) on non ladder, I am coming, guys, at a snail pace, but arriving... I also have my 3 (!) next character plans done for 2023 (sin), 2024 (zon) and 2025 (summon necro) ! I can start ladder in 2025 ^^ Logical when you play 2-4 hours a week while others do more than that in a day. ^^
Main: Necromancer / Second: Assassin / Third: Amazon / Check my stash and my crafts including my caster belts , and my many cheap Annihilus / Accepting payment in L or NL currency though I only play NL
