Lock the Purchasing/Trading of Some Items Behind Badges
Ok ok- before you guys get angry and think “isn’t that just going to be annoying like the original badger system” this IS NOT the same- that OG badger system required you to do lots of unrelated grinding to be able to use things you already had access to-
This would only lock items DIRECTLY related to the badge- so for example- you wouldnt be able to already be able to buy diamonds from the auction house unless you had gotten the diamond badge- that way it prevents people from skipping progression. Ideally, someone shouldnt encounter any issues with items being locked- as long as they werent trying to skip progression with rubies, and played the game as intended.
Obviously, theres still ways to get around this system, althought I dont think its a huge issue. The main point is to just kind of discourage progression skips.

I like this idea, when I started OR graves dying was more punishing so I just bought most of my gear from the AH and missed out on a lot of fun progression
