The game is never going to be balanced with trade in its current state. It's just not possible. Or it will be balanced, but it will be balanced around the percentage of players that can trade successfully and actually want to. Which is probably pretty low. And is affected by arbitrary stuff like timezone, working hours etc.

I'm not sure an AH is the solution, though with high gold costs and limited trades it might work. I personally think ditch trade altogether, but that's also not ideal and I do like the ethos of generalised drops and alt farming. Not played LE, but people seem to think that works well.

Basically no trade at all would be hands down the best thing for balancing the game, but high risk of making the game feel more on rails (you'd need target farming mechanics, much more deterministic craft etc). Introducing an AH democratises trade but potentially devalues ground loot and crafting. So place alternative limits on trade (gold scaling with tier and ilvl or sth, absolute number of trades etc) and buff/fix crafting.

GGG can do w/e they want, but I'm never going to use the current trade system.

Currency exchange is cool though.

The only reason anyone wants an auction house is to make selling their items more convenient for themselves...
