3.0 suggestions from new player on league starter.
Great work. The game looks and feels way better and the new Act content is engaging and rewarding. I love feeling like half the quests give skill points now as well as the development of NPC arcs and their inclusions in the progression.
But as always there is room for improvement and I want everyone and GGG to know how I feel because the squeaky wheel gets the oil. GGG has proven time and again that player feedback is vital to what PoE is and now it's my turn.

Pantheon system is a massive waste of time. The rewards for killing these bosses are useless. If the rewards for killing these Gods was a skill point on the passive tree, I wouldn't waste the point. For a system to be a vital part of the progression and draw of this patch I feel like there isn't enough that can be said to describe how disappointing this is. It doesn't affect your play style at all. I couldn't even tell you which powers I have selected right now. It's been said before, but it doesn't make you change anything about your game. The opportunity cost is zero. Everything I'm going to do on this character will be the same regardless of what buffs the Pantheon system provides. Make the rewards meatier. If the Pantheon powers weren't so completely invalid we would actually have to figure out how and when to use them. Imagine having to choose between flat increases to life, reflect reduction, additions to max charges, perks for charges, map mods, etc. How hard is it to make a progression reward system that is actually rewarding?

Map tabs. At this point I'm not even going to say anything else. I don't see why you can't fold an interactive map tab into the atlas. I shouldn't have to manually organize/sort my maps every evening after clearing.

In game action house. I don't care what the critics say. They're wrong. Hilariously wrong. WoW and STO had fantastic trading systems and economies because every single user has unlimited access to the market. If you think that having to download third party software and use a non affiliated website to exchange currency and barter items HOPING that the seller is actually online AND not busy at that moment is preferable to a system that literally automates all of this while also empowering more participation in the market (because low level items will actually see serious inclusion in the market now) then anything you have to say on this matter should be outright ignored. I know people were turned off by D3's action house but this isn't D3 and D3 is a perfect example of how not to do pretty much everything, including an auction system.
