So the main problem with SSF leagues is that...

so the key to a new ssf build is to add a unique item shop to the game? Why not just buy from players if you are going to be buying from cadiro, the 9th master all the time?

So... If you guys want a SSF league but don't want to change drop rates, why bother with a SSF league in the first place?
If you aren't changing anything about the game, just play SSF by yourself. It's the same thing. There was a big SSF challenge a few weeks ago, you all could just do that again. I did make a SSF/PHC character and got to maps before I got bored out of my mind. SSF is just boring to me. It's not challenging, just boring. | |
" It's the other way round, trading spoiled you. You don't have good uniques that are relevant to your build when you play self found. Only if you are insanely lucky. That's what it is accept it. | |

This can all be solved with a simple "SSF" icon next to players names on the ladder, or even a separate ladder for SSF players in each league. No need to add new leagues for it.
As soon as a player trades or joins a party they lose their SSF tag for the remainder of that league, even if they create a new character. | |
" If they can do this then people will want it broken into categories. SSF SF - for people that have friends NS - for the crazies that want to use carried gear only. Where will the madness end? Honestly, though, I agree with you. It would be cool if they could do that. | |
" with a no. just because someone has a dumb idea doesn't mean this should inconvenience anyone. The devs can just not break it down in categories. Simple. I'm not sure this has to be an extra mode though. Just play that way, end of story. It's for you. In my opinion, self found is like HC it is the only way to play.

" Sounds like you got a case of the rng blues player A. I've found a binos from a barrel once, lightning coil from armour rack (still got it), 6L in the 2nd-3rd day of a new league. Whatever you haven't found, someone else has like me. And I like scroties no stash league. Then if that happens it would be feasible to raise drops but as it stands now, its okay. |

The problem of SSF leagues is there are two kinds of SSF players.
The scavenger, which wants the challenge of relying only on what drops without any other changes to the game. The insecure trader, which wants to eliminate the challenge of participating in a market place by changing the game to shower them in everything they want. |

" I don't get this. There may be some that fits your last category, but not many. Even a 7 year old monkey can farm the chaos recipe, hit POE Trade, copy a whisper link and post it in chat. There's NO challenge in buying B/O items - what so ever. I've discussed this MANY times, both in forums, sub forums and guild. And my impression is that SSF is almost never about the "hassle" or "challenge" of trading, it's about FUN. And for a lot of players, buying someone else's achievements isn't fun - at all. They want to find their own items, rely on only them self. Finding loot for their current build, next build or unique items to open up new ideas for builds. I can understand people asking for up'd drop rates, as you CAN play years without finding exalts or divines, needed for master crafting. It becomes very tiring for some to almost KNOW you wount enjoy a lot of what the game has to offer, without buying someone else's luck or crafts. I don't ask for up'd drop rates of orbs. Or uniques. I just can't understand why good rares do not drop. Uniques are not supposed to be BiS, but equal rares are impossible to find. I say this after playing this game for years, farming Atziri and high tier maps - without finding ONE physical weapon I deem good enough for late end game content. Which makes crating the solution. Without exalts or devines. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
