Last Epochs factions will probably put PoEs "friction trading" to shame

Speaking as a huge fan and supporter of LE, the item faction system might be a great success. Or the most spectacular failure for trade in ARPG history. I really think too many people jump the gun to praise the system without having seen it in action. There are many concerning aspects of Merchant's Guild for me.

Could possibly happen. This is version 2 of this system.
They already scrapped the old system that was similar to this one as it had not met their expectations.

Can already hear (imaginary) forum complaints that faction X is way too powerful and the other is undertuned. This has potential to be a balance nightmare for years i guess.

I love LE, but this whole thread should not be in the discussion for one simple reason: it's not released yet. The intentions are great, I like it a lot, but after people play and actually use the system after seeing how it works in practice, it could be valuable. I'd wait at least 3 months to see how it's going before considering posting anything related in here because it's too new.

It's similar to speculating on how a league in POE will be good or bad without even trying it out. Take Bestiary, the idea sounds great but the net implementation caused so many issues that needed correction. Same thing for synthesis, it sounded great but it required a ton of micro management.

Discussing possibilities for the future based on what we currently know is normal human behaviour. It’s not like this is some illicit information leak; the LE devs put out this information for people to discuss it.

I mean it should probably be in Off Topic here instead of Feedback and Suggestions, but beyond that surely there isn’t a problem.

Yeah, it's fine in a different topic, I wouldn't want to put it in on path of exile's site necessarily (for better discussions, that's best done on LE), but definitely not feedback/suggestions.
