Would it be possible to introduce some kind of card trading system?  It could be run by computer entities similar to the arena decks.  Players place the cards they want to trade away into some kind of account (that looks similar to an arena deck).  Players post the price they want for each card.  Then, cards are listed on an open marketplace (looks almost exactly like the bazaar, but with player posted cards)  for the prices requested (if there are duplicates, the cheaper priced cards are sold first).

I know that there were issues with creating a 1on1 trading system.  I am wondering if there are any issues with a 3rd person trading system.

buying rares has been frowned upon, no matter what the technique. Zanz has created the game so that you can't get rares *that* easily.

also this is off topic.  ?_?

Last response to this (hopefully).
I get the feel that you play a lot of Diablo 3.
Well, =http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/09/17/diablo-3-closing-real-money-gold-auction-houses-blizzard-says/just look how well that system worked for them.

Also, despite this game being quite the grind, it was created that way to give you a sense of accomplishment when you finish fully upgrading a deck or a whole element. It's not pay-to-win, and was meant to be difficult :P
