Calling you out on your strawman. One of the primary purposes of combat and character development is to be visually appealing. The ONLY purpose of a trading system is to be user friendly, scalable, and stable. If it can be done in a visually appealing way, that's great. But when being visually appealing starts hindering those three requirements, it's time to stop pushing it.
