lvl 25 trade restriction

[Disabled Velociraptor]

is a little ridiculous.... I can't even trade with other people to buy gear to tune my toon up 0.o I spent an hour on PoE trade to get a limbsplit axe I can't even buy because theirs a trade restriction 0.o meaning the item is frankly useless anyway because by the time I hit 25 the item isn't even worth using.... you've effectively shut down 25% of the game's economy to new players.

Just trade it with an alt that is more than 25 and stash it to put it on your new char.

Trading is more of an end game thing anyway. Plus it will greatly slowdown selling bots.

focus less on trading and more on playing...you will not need to trade at all until you are easily in the level 60+ range before then it's just a waste of currency

Although it's only currencies being restricted (so you can trade other items with your friend freely, even if you both start out new), and lifts on the whole account (so you won't have the problem on the next character).

I don't understand. I clearly remember that I bought some unique wand in act 2 on Essence. I wasn't lvl 25 for sure.

As The_Driver said it applies account wide, meaning once you have any character over 25 you can trade even with a character below level 25. Assuming the Essence character in question was not your first character ever, then everything is working as intended.

And you expect me to shed light into that undocumented event without much details provided?

When is your account registered? (Accounts from before June 2013 aren't restricted)
Was your account migrated from any other realm? (Singapore, Malaysia, Russia, ... I don't know if those have had their restrictions dropped in the process, but that might have been the case)
Did you have any previous characters on that account that reached level 25? (Even deleted ones)
Did you pay with currency items? If so, were they Essences? (Who knows if they count in regards to this...) Was it with scrolls? (see link, they don't count)
What level was your character? (If you overlevel, you could get to level 25 in act 2 quite easily, and overlevel is something many people do on their first character(s) (due to doing too much content/sidequests))

As you remember it "clearly" you should be able remember those things.

Lol at wasting currency trading before level 60.. There's soo much to buy / sell before lvl 40 even if you know the game

Thank you for the explanation. And how am I suppose to know all THAT stuff? People say 5 words and then become "oh there are tonns of other sh*t, how don't you know?". Indeed, that wasn't my first character and I started to play in 2016. Thanks again.
