sooooo where is everyone? lol

I know I started late in the season but the trade boards are pretty dead for ladder. I much prefer this site for trading because its more inline with how I view trading. the other two sites kinda promote rmt and i dont wanna pay the inflated prices .

I could be wrong but I suspect the number of people playing ladder has decreased over the last 3 ladder seasons. This is the first ladder season I skipped.

Blizzard also doesn't make much effort to bring more people to ladder, unless you are under aged Korean

That's one.

And in addition to that...'tis summer (for what I dare say is the much larger chunk of folks here anyways).

I actually ended up making a ladder char yesterday and kind of already don't know why I did because the weather's too nice to really focus on anything. But hey..bound to Rain again eventually! ^^

Not sure everyone was super pleased about how short season 6 was, coupled with nothing new to be added for season 7 (nobody with any sense expected anything different).

I don't think it's only ladder though. There's a decrease on non-ladder too, although feel like this has just gradually been heading in that direction for sometime now.

Prices have dropped on the higher runes again (

Ber /

Jah specifically), could indicate that there is less demand overall. Perhaps the summer months have enticed people to go outside more ;0

I skipped ladder this season as well, seems like no point when theres nothing new introduced. I enjoy NL now

Always at your service. ;о

This is also the first ladder I skipped. No changes again, and little hope for the future

Besides, I discovered that all the changes I want in the game exist in BTdiablo mod. And it’s constantly updated with community feedback. Not saying it’s perfect, but it’s pretty much what I want out of this game

No, it's all singleplayer. There are ladder events. I don't think there is any meaningful trading, but people exchange character files for testing builds and items

Just did a git clone on the repo and browsing thru the readme. Looks promising, online-multiplayer would be the Dream. Too bad they got the installguide in a video. Why not just write it down? When do ppl realize that video is an inefficient way to transfer information concerning computer stuff?

and i was thinking about deleting all my NL stuff.

I am wondering that also, where are people playing these days ?

D2R:
Single player
Non Ladder
Ladder

D3

D4

or some other worthless game, lol

Elden Ring - SOTE
Ghost of Tsushima Director's cut
No rest for the wicked (EA)
D4 ( overhaul itemization aka do or die)

sorry for double post.

But yes 100% on this. Huge reduction in the trade forum activity i've noticed. (90% down)

I just post slow movers or niche items / perf items here nowadays. If you want to move fast go to traderie where the reach is further and hits a wider audience.

Worse, it's hosted on a platform instead of just being stored in the repo, with all its negative consequences (ads, collecting user data, prone to deletion and so on).

I simply switched to single player. It's a peaceful life

So it's not just the trade activity on my posts, but others have seen a massive drop off too?

i pretty much only play ladder now, 1 char each season....
my NL toons are massively OP stomping every TZ ... gonna delete a dozen mules end of season

I only got the game right when S7 started after beginning to feel too strong an urge for ARPG after playing Last Epoch. Then I noticed the trade is very quiet and echo the sentiment : "where'd everyone go?"

Is there an echo in here?

I don't see the point of playing NL as you will have greatly diminished sense of purpose or progress to be made and the economy is so drastically saturated, I guess? I like the start anew since the heydays of D2, and never played on NL back then
