I disagree. I do think if you put enough limits on it item trading could work. In fact I’ve made a number of suggestions elsewhere on how to possibly work that. Hero trading will cause all of the problems you discount.

People shell out 100.00’s and 1000’s chasing heroes. I agree if SG put a tax in that range to trade heroes, then they wouldn’t lose money. Politically that would be foolish of them (as stated above).

If I have 3 or 4 of an A+ hero (and I do) I would happily trade that for another A+ hero I don’t have and someone else has 3 or 4 of. So yeah, everyone will have the same heroes.

Not everyone has the best Heroes. Again, people have a false understanding of what the elite players hold. But if you open up trading, they all would. Thats what Random does…a player could spend 10 grand and still never pull the hero they want.
