I like the idea of upgrade traders.
Some people may like the feeling that they have unique items and they can set crazy prices for them, but they said there may be an auction house to sell unique items to people find at a FAIR price and hopefully stop some rip-offs Ive seen (although I do still believe you deserve it if your foolish enough to pay 70K for a +30hp sword upgrade).
Im really looking forward in particular to the shield mod upgrade trader, but no good farmer need worry because Im sure they will be well priced (like sup runes) and would in fact set the rate for a lot of items found in game making it a fairer platform as everyone would have a standard to compare to (the trader). Having said that I think the upgrades should be expensive enough not to bring the market down too low as to make it unworthy for the people to take the time to search for items that you may end up really appreciating being sold to you. In short thry should be expensive enough that you could custom build your sword + shield or whatever but would not be cheap.... 15k armour springs to mind...maybe there should even be a craft element to upgrades like with armour so that there is still a market for the ingredients to keep people happy again like 15k armour?
