Look at PoE. They have trade leagues and solo self found leagues. All of their races and rewards are in the hardcore solo self found league. However, the overwhelming majority of the player base still plays softcore trade because of just that, trade. You have to be some kind of degenerate playing this genre of game with no ability to trade gear you've used, or in some cases even just picked up in your personally generated loot table. The players that play in those solo self found races are NEVER able to min max their gear and it's basically their job to play since they stream it on twitch for money.

I played POE when it first hit what was basically Early Access. I've tried to play it over and over but the beginning is just too slow and the graphics are too dated for my tastes. I will however be jumping in to POE 2 whenever it releases.
Trading is a HUGE part of this genre and why D2 was so huge, the drop rates in that game were abysmal but hackers and traders made it into a classic and probably what the genre is most known for.
