I should be used to this kind of stuff on the forums by now, but it's pretty crass of you to accuse every Mirror-service provider of RMT.

You know what isn't crass? To suspect that a high percentage of mirror service purchasers 'buy' the currency to get their service done via RMT.

I'm not accusing the 'service' providers of RMT. I'm suggesting that many of their customers almost certainly do.

The mirroring function needs to be changed into something that makes more sense. Lock source & resulting items.

What good do mirrors do, it gives you that chance at any point during our gameplay to hit the lottery, its an iconic symbol of the game, its literally on almost all art to due with the game.

In terms of what does it do in game, it allows for you to reach a point in perm leagues where you can be insanely geared. In temp leagues, in conjuction with eternals allows for people to have great endgame weapons.

Mirrors also help ensure that rares remain the peak of the game, with the exception of rare chest, which mirrors do very little for IMO (some niche es builds ect) otherwise you almost always use a unique chest.

How large of a playerbase is affected negatively by mirrors in temp leagues pretty much no one, in perm leagues only those that wish to ever compete with the big dogs that already have multiple pieces crafted. Other then that mirrors do far more good then they ever have done harm. If someone doesn't want to make something themselves thats on them, you not having the original is a huge downside, even if you think the cost isn't worth it, what happens when GGG makes large changes and does things like remove reduced mana from auras, but essentially changes it to a blue gem, you have a copied item you can't modify. 1 handed weapons are pretty much set, but 2 handed weapons your limited to very specific support gems.

But again that only negatively affects standard, which the game shouldn't be balanced for and people shouldn't really give 2 shits about. Someone else was first to corner the market at this point its just standard players bringing down the health of the game because they are jealous they don't have what others do.

Do I like them because what they have turned standard into, not really do I like them and how they behave in temp leagues and how players at any point can find one and hit the jackpot, absolutely. At this point there are very few items you can find that have a large "yes" feeling when you loot something, removing the only one remaining would be a huge mistake, not to mention they would never do it. They would rather eternals never come back and leave the game stale as shit then remove the symbol of the game.

• I can now acquire "X" for a fraction of the crafting cost assuming the crafter wishes to subsidize their expenses/fund new crafts by offering a mirror service
• Monopoly is a bit of a strong word. If fee's are too high people will not pay, and the market will shift back towards those 80% gggg rares. Yay economy!
• Take a look at all the mirror services in Standard. How many of the crafters have multiple items on offer? This suggests to me that proceeds often fund new crafts facilitating point 1 above
• Not having to craft every slot myself presents the opportunity of redirecting my spare resources towards crafting stuff that does not exist yet, or that I very specifically need (see the shields and belts I linked in a previous post)
