Why I think cross-league trading is just as bad as real-money trading

I find the concept revolting, but it has no major repercussions on the league itself...

No items are entering HC from an outside source, so it has 0 impact anyway...

HC currency moves from char A to char B, how is that harmful to the game?

Wouldn't the simplest solution (maybe not simple from an implementation standpoint) be to have all items and characters be league bound? So that items originating in one league cannot be transfered to another league at all, by any means. This seems like the most natural solution to me if the devs want the leagues to be truly separate.

Of course this would mean that dead HC chars and their items would be truly gone but I don't see that as a bad thing.

The only thing I'm afraid of is the fact that someone actually trades his HC orbs for SC in so large quanitities. Who the hell would trade 50 exalted or so for useless 100 SC exalted?? SC is only trial league fro new players who later switch to HC or for people who steal. Internet from close pizzeria wifi with 2000 ping...
Are those people who trade large amounts of HC to SC goldfarmers?

What GGG should have done from the start is put in a $20 option in the micro transaction store that would allow a dead HC league character to be put into the default league if you wished to continue playing that character. In regards to the race character GGG should break races into default and hardcore league races to keep items in their respected leagues.

It's not. They are trying to come up with a solution for where there is no problem.

Besides, eventually permanent HC and default leagues will be the dumpster leagues. Where the only characters you'll play are extremely gear dependent or wacky builds and pvp.
