Hi,
Generally everything is frowned upon here what makes the game easier. These are the players that want a difficult game, ok? ;)
Be it cheating, hacking, using of 3rd party progs (with some exceptions), botting, duping, rushing bosses or rushing characters, twinking or even a built that is rather easy = a cookie cutter, and also trading.
While I think it's perfectly ok to at least trade a little to improve your char, and do the occasional twink here and there, I believe that people here are just fed up with new forum users coming in and yelling like 'I got perfect XY, what can I get for it?' and spamming the fora with trading questions. Originally what was bad about trading was that the currency consisted of (mainly duped) stone of jordans. I don't know if that's still the case, but in singleplayer, that shouldn't be a problem.
So I hope this helps to understand why people's hackle erects when they hear the words 'trading', 'worth' and 'what can I get for'.
Greetings, Fragbait
