I realized this game is even worse than Diablo 3
" And have you ever gone from 1-70 self-found on the first day? Do you even know what you're talking about, or are you just talking about shit that others have done? I have gone from 1-75, not on the first day, not completely self-found (bought skill gems), but still within a single day early in a league. Doing that made me physically sick (I wish I was still in my teens in that regard) and I for damn sure aren't doing that ever again. Let me explain this to you, really clearly: a day has 24 hours. If you have any idea what you're doing and play 24 hours session, yeah, you can easily reach 80's if not 90's. Let's give a generous 2 hours/difficulty before reaching maps, and that's a nice 6 hour session alone. Now, get your head out of ass and think how many people who got actual lives can afford to play a span of 6 hours on the first day of a league? For 80%, probably 90%, it's IMPOSSIBLE. People who reach maps on the first day aren't good fucking players, they're nolifers who can waste hours upon hours on this game from the very start of the league without worrying about "RL COMMITMENTS". You know what those are? Probably not. Skill has jack shit to do with reaching level X or maps early in the league; what matters is the time you're able / willing to spend on a video game from the moment league starts.

Okay, so even if we assume some people no-life the game extremely hard... if 1725 people made it to level 70 self-found in 5 days, playing their butts off every single day - let's say 20 hours per day playing the game - then you can easily go from 1 to 70 in 50 days, playing only 2 hours per day, solo self-found. This is an extremely conservative estimate.
50 days is a lot less than two years. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

theoretically: if a group of 6 players in the same guild share 3 accounts, they can support each other with stuff they find in the first days and profit from early map access and atziri stuff.
account sharing is forbidden but i'm not sure if ggg has the means to control that. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

@Scrotie, can't argue that. I had my very first char at 70's in about a month tops. It wasn't exactly map viable, so it probably took longer than it should have.
Also act 4 didn't exist. I wonder if I started playing PoE now, would I be demoralized and quit when my first shitty build gets absolutely destroyed in act4 normal/cruel?

" Even if the fact I did it myself or not doesn't change the fact it's possible to do it or not (which is the topic btw), yes I already did it. " your own little personnal experience doesn't (once again) change the fact going self found through the 3 difficulties is possible since many players did it. And we're not only speaking about people doing it fast or within the first hours of a new league. " We're not discussing if it takes skill or not to do it self found and/or within the first hours of the league (and I never said anything about that), just the fact that it is possible. You are so wrong from the start you're trying so hard to side-track this whole "discussion". " I have a job, i'm married and I see family and friends on a regular basis, but yeah, thanks for assuming random BS that you just pulled out of your ass I guess. " Once again, nothing to do with what I was saying. There are enough examples of people going full self found in the game to prove you wrong anyway. The 5 days SOLO races that took place earlier this year are just straight facts calling BS over all your "finishing Merciless SF is impossible" non-sense. Hell I even remember the Kripp and his SMASH challenge in Open Beta during a One Week race, which was a solo self found Melee-only challenge...

" First of all the thread is about the possibility of doing that ... not how fast can be done ... but let's put that aside for a moment... Ok so based on your experience it takes roughly around 24 hours to reach ~level 75 and go into mapping self-found. Let's say that you don't have lots of free time to spend on Path of Exile... perhaps the average player can spend 2 hours every day ( every 24 hours ) ? So that means that you can reach level 75 and start mapping in less than 2 weeks. Solo, self-found. Now let me ask you... is that so unreasonable? Is that so terrible ? Is it world-ending, game-breaking an heart-crushing? Of course the answer can be "yes" ... and sadly ... if it is "yes" then Path of Exile is just not for you ... as simple as that. Accept it and move on. P.S. Man i don't really like "The Walking dead". I wish that it was more about mystery, strangeness, main characters that don't act like human beings most of the time, eerie atmosphere and less(if no at all) zombies ... hmmm ... it seems that i'd better go and watch "Twin Peaks" instead of complaining about how "The Walking dead" doesn't really match my interests and my taste. I guess i could go around demanding the creators to change it accordingly ... even if tons of people enjoy it as it is. Nah i won't do that... I guess different people like different things and it seems that the world doesn't revolve around me after all.

The sad part is this guy isnt trolling lol...
Anyone can go 1-70 self found within a few hours of play time without trading at all. I do it every new league... Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

" First of all it wasn't ME who brought up that it's possible for everyone to get into 70's at the first day of a league. " Second of all, reading comprehension is an ability that you should learn before posting into a forum. Since you're clearly interested, it took me ~11 hours on a snowflake build. Also yeah, if an "average player" is one who's aware of all the noobtraps, knows to avoid things that have a high chance of death, can maximize the utility of trash rares and is able to clear content with far-less-than-optimal gear, I would say he can easily run a solo self-found to endgame and maps. I don't consider bunch of forum elitist the "average player", but hey, maybe that's just me. @Morgoth, not even gonna bother. You clearly lack common sense and I see no gain in engaging further conversation with you. I wasn't planning on commenting here again, but someone went even further off the logic tracks than you did, so... Well, anyway. Not gonna bother with this topic anymore.

" The guy you listed literally does play video games for a living. He's attempting to stream and has no other job currently. For him to reach the point in the game that he did with the gear that he has yes, he spent an ungodly amount of time to do so that quickly. Most people who have normal jobs (aka the people who have the money to spend on MTXs) are not going to be able to pull off what that guy did. Oh, and before retorting like some elitist asshole " Last edited by allbusiness on Dec 2, 2015, 7:36:16 PM

" Let me just rephrase this for you: "If a player knows what he is doing he can trivialize the game solo self-found to endgame and maps" A game that is easier if you are good at it? A game that rewards players who know how to play the game well? Shocking! What else would you want? A game where you can easily faceroll without knowing anything about anything? A game where challenge is non-existent? " Well you claim that you did this "extremely difficult" thing ... reaching end-game solo self-found ... for less than 11. Do you consider yourself an average player? Or are you a "forum elitist" ? In your "oh so clever" in your face "forum elitist scum" response you kind of forget to answer me ( and to actually answer the main claim in this thread ) can a player reach end-game solo self-found in reasonable amount of time? Well, you kind of did ... with your own experience as an example ( and you are talking about doing it fast ... not just in reasonable amount of time ).
