So why do we have to log in on website to access trade? You just want more logged people to have at time for statistics or what? It's pain in the ass... why would I log in just for trade. Time to use other api again
The live search needed to be logged in, anbd theres a constant stream of people asking why isnt the live search or some of the other parts of trade site not working. It was also probably so ggg can better rate limit players for the more complex searches, lots of players were doing those to look for specific mod combos for recombinator use.
There's also another thing that this affects that we'll announce next week.
