General Discussion - Kickstarter Campaign for PoE's Optional Self Found League! - Forum

" I'd be far more likely to begin flipping and shopping in the tainted economy leagues if I were also able to have characters in a checkbox league :) I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, help me out here...? Or are we agreeing?!?!?	Posted by mrpetrov on Feb 24, 2015, 9:41:16 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

So, how much money did this kickstarter raise?	Posted by Deleted on Feb 24, 2015, 11:00:46 AM

Oh, I like this idea. Of course it doesn't solve the solo loot drop problems, but a lot of current self-found players would probably be happy with this.

Most people seen to dislike the idea of solo self found due to drops. This is the wrong argument we should be having. What GGG could do with a SSF league is test buffs, nerfs and new gems before releasing them elsewhere. Drops aren't the problem and never have been. The problem is solo game play and being able to survive higher end content. By using single player as a test model, they could test what works and what doesn't. A sort of advanced alpha mode.

Playing solo isn't the problem, its your refusal to trade or take part in the economy. With masters you don't even need to anymore anyway. Don't forget to drink your milk 👌	Posted by TheWretch on Feb 24, 2015, 12:05:28 PM Quote this Post
Typical response. I don't trade because I find it tedious and take no enjoyment from it. That others fail to grasp this concept should not be the deciding factor. And have you tried leveling the masters to level 8 without help? Solo players are at a serious ddisadvantage. I still personally don't think we need a SSF league as it stands today. But a SSF temp league could be useful for testing. But if you prefer to trade, why do you even care?	Posted by Deleted on Feb 24, 2015, 12:11:41 PM

But how would one get any items when the drop rate isnt buffed? You cant test what doesnt drop. I like the way you think but i dont think it would work.	Posted by Deleted on Feb 24, 2015, 12:43:17 PM
