I use the Echo because I'm a downright miracle worker.

Spoiler tags are your friend
The Echo doesn't only let you see the past but actually interact with it. If someone notices you in the echo they remember you.

You can note this prevelantly in Thaumaturg guild quest where you peek into another members memories to find they have murdered a group of people.

Not only that but you can change the past as well, such as the Alchemist quest line where you treat the child with sleeping sickness before he becomes bed-riddin.


The morality of the Echo is obviously up for interpretation...but I don't often see any Single player game let alone a MMO give you the choice to "Not complete the quest" but still complete it.

Your gonna have to swallow it or never finish quests involving the echo.
