    The trading ecosystem in online games is so crazy. My brother learned to barter from playing Warframe, now he can do it IRL at flea markets and whatnot.

      It is. And some people even make real money off the trading. Like I have a theory that the best players aren’t the streamers but the people that sell currency or items for real money.

      I learned bartering from EQ in like 2000 or something, lol. Besides using software to autocraft, you can easily sit around just playing the market in PoE1, getting far far richer than playing.
