[2023] What Faction will you side with and why?

It's been 2 months since the announcement of the Item Faction System - one of the most revolutionizing takes on trade and SSF in the history of ARPGs. In a stroke of brilliance, the devs managed to rise above the challenges and satisfy both opposing groups, while introducing something new and unique to the game.

As the time of the Item Faction System release nears, I've noticed it's been a little neglected topic in this sub for a while and decided to change that because - as we've all seen - the devs are quick to check what we talk about and quick to respond to our ideas.

I'm asking this question with 2 goals in mind - to hear out the opinions of other players and ultimately decide on my starting faction based on them; incentivize a meaningful and deep discussion on the faction system that could.

Hopefully, they'll read out our comments and maybe even take part in the discussion, so please don't shy away from jumping in. After all, some of the biggest perks of EHG are their amazing PR team and openness to public opinion, and we should definitely take advantage of that haha.

I feel like the only person that plays this game that is really looking forward to joining the trade faction. My favorite part about PoE is dropping items that are worth insane amounts of money, taking that money and putting it towards something I need in my build.

I get a lot less joy from picking up random loot and trying to see if I can fit it into my build. Still a lot of fun for me, but if I'm playing SSF I generally tend to ignore valuable drops that would be good for other characters because I'm not the type to roll a character based on a good drop. But with trade, I feel much more incentivized to look for good loot for other builds so I can sell on the market

You’re not the only one! I’m the game director and I’ll be repping MG. We are seeing slightly more people lean towards CoF, even internally, but I think the Bazaar will be quite an enjoyable place to hang out and feel like a lively marketplace, and trading of course is a major want of many players.
