theres a lot of hostility to be had when people throw accusations at me but all things considered its more of an annoyance rather than anything.

You did make a suggestion for solo challenge rewards, but the reason people disagree with it is not because they didn't read your post, but because the spirit of challenge rewards have always been vanity accolades and MTX. Now, you propose that for the extra solo challenges we should be rewarded with alt art items. These would be limited to the league their respective challenges belong to and thus be of scarcity and desirability. There's not a question if these will be subject of RMT, but how badly they'll be affected by it.

i understand it. and i've yet to see a suggestion that does so without changing the current practice. actually now that we're talking about it, a new idea i have is an alternate colour mtx for people who cleared all challenges solo. perhaps thats a better suggestion? the truly hardcore players can aim to get both versions of the mtx reward.

People already FOMO about a single mystery box for hardcore events where you just have to hit level 50 in campaign to receive your reward. Now think about how bad that would be for alt art items.

That's why others have argued against it, and that's why I haven't even brought that suggestion up myself. Vanity stuff like an enhanced challenge totem or marking challenges as solo completed on your forum profiles is fine, tradeable in game items isn't.

i remember back when this was the norm. to me the reason why would i suggest it is because its still something that is not too exclusive. alt art rewards dont necessarily need to be league exclusive and can return in a different league. instead of alt arts, we could also get demigods equipment. theres many ways it could be implemented.

as for RMT. i honestly feel its a ship long sailed past. the fact that we can buy challenges itself can lead to RMT. in fact, people "sharing account" is a known fact. its really something beyond our control.

i rather not have the game be full of RMT but the only way that could happen is if the game was rebalanced to be solo only. and to be frank i m pretty sure GGG benefits from RMT. the bots they ban typically use preem stashes.
