I like the use of silver coins as infrequent drops, so prophecies aren't something you can churn through as a major gameplay distraction. Great compromises.

Edit: Cadiro had some great voice-acted lore associated with him and the Labyrinth - any chance he'll be showing up in the core game, with or without the Perandus mechanics?

So, does this mean we should expect things to be balanced around standard in the future even though it goes against what GGG has officially posted in the past?
