Diplomacy was a great disappointment. I havent tried it lately because I have not read of any changes that would make me want to do so. I mentioned some possible changes earlier, but justifying a boring element of the game and not making it less boring on the grounds that some rule was adopted that each sphere should be separate, seems to be missing the main point: The "rule" is flawed. I like the idea of being able to work on diplomacy to be able to talk to "enemies" for example, or otherwise have advantages in the adventuring element of the game. The idea to keep the spheres (at least, keep diplomacy) separate was flawed from the start. When they fix it, I might give it a shot.

...and I don't think the situation is that this game is so great that noone at vanguard needs any suggestions to improve it.

Diplomacy could have been an interesting addition to differentiate this game from other MMOs (I have a 48 champ in Lotro) but the execution was poor and it's boring for all but a few.
