Trade & Item Factions

Merchant’s Guild
Looks like a Ponzi Scheme that requires a constant stream of newbies to work.
Moreover, it will feed databases with useless items, over and over, until the server bill explodes and puts down the company.
Finally, search’n’buy destroys the whole purpose of loot hunting.
ARPG !== Amazon .com RPG
Diablo 3 learnt its lesson the hard way.

Circle of Fortune
I like the concept of prophecies.
Lenses seem a fun addition.
What I don’t like is the “double everything” orientation.
It lacks creativity and feels a little bit lazy from the devs.
Excepted “the whole set drops”, which is kind of fun.
Fun additions are those who cleverly break the rules.
