Any plans to make bigger Ladders (15000 rly low)?

Y'know, now that I look at it... the bottom of the ladder is still like level 81. That actually bothers me...

When Domi/Nemi League end all Standard and HC Ladder will be much much bigger, the bottom of the ladder will be 87-88. + every week he will be more and more higher lvls.

Why you don't see any problem with it? Why you, GGG, can't make Standard/HC (maybe new League too) bigger, for example: 55000-150000?

Many players want to see their IGN in Ladder, why it's so hard to make it bigger? I don't think you need a lot of time/hire new devs for that. Please say if you have any plan to make much bigger Ladders!?

Well, only 3 of 30 from my post quote, still not bad.
Maybe Chris/Quarl/etc of GGG will read my post http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/780247/page/6#p6774005 i hope so.

Thanks for posting, Rhys. I'm disappointed my feedback didn't get any response. I hope it's at least been read and considered--I do think I raised some good points.

Ok, try again..

Q: Will there be a no-trading mod for paid leagues?

So that you could create a league with partying but no trading. Such league would be much more difficult than current leagues (= line with the rule) and would at the same time get rid of RMT farce ladders that are the current leagues.

I respond fro Rhys:

"Custom leagues"

It would stay in the rules of only leaving custom-leagues harder, I agree.

That's not an answer, I already know there will be "custom leagues". What I want to know is if the mod pool for such leagues will contain a "no-trading" option, so that one could effectively create a self-found league - something a lot of players are asking for.

5: Why does your game and every other Diablo 2 clone have such a huge, huge focus on itemwalls and itemrequirements for progression, whereas Diablo 2 had a focus on skills-progression where items were used as a focus of perfecting a character.

Well, you can beat the game with crap gear and good skills. NotRegret proved that by doing it only magic items.

Yeah, we do focus on loot, I'll admit. It's just one of choices we made when we sat down to design the game. We aren't trying to copy Diablo 2 exactly, though. We took the bits we liked, from D2 and others, and combined everything into the most awesomest meatshake we could come up with. And of course it wasn't perfect; the first draft never is. So we tweak the recipe and we tweak it and we'll keep on tweaking it.

I do be believe what NotRegret proved was,that trading will provide by far,better results than using whatever you find/craft yourself.

IIRC he used party play as well briefly to make the experience less taxing.

The opposite is also true that you can beat POE with crap skills and good gear,again,you'll have to trade for that gear.

In my opnion at least it makes POE a trade and trvialize game.

There's a big difference between trading and not trading,trade being a smorgasboard of items and not trading being a famine.

Have you read any of the solo self found challenge threads and compared notes ?

Check this thread, it's the official thread for the famous Kripp's one week solo self found melee "SMASH" challenge back in March 2013 : http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/196375/page/1

People did very great at a time Melee sucked big time. Just check the last few pages of the thread, people are posting their gear and their final results. Just for example, a guy from the 26th pages did #5. A lot of others did pretty good too. You'll tell me that all those pages still say nothing about how it is possible to go Solo Self Found in the current state of the game. Yeah, so as all the people complaining it's impossible then. What that thread proves, IMO, is that there might be a pretty obvious difference between people that succeeded playing that SMASH challenge and "solo self found is impossible right now" people, and it is not only RNG related.

6) Do you guys plan on adjusting aura's to have better quality effects rather then a larger radius?

Well, we want there to be some way to control the radius, and changing it based on gem level didn't seem right. Auras are supposed to promote party play, after all, where the radius matters.

Is there ever going to be a change to this? Auras exist currently to create your build around. Everybody that does physical damage is going to run hatred, running all the elemental damage auras is core for elemental builds. Auras do not promote party play in any way except having you have to carry other auras in your offhand sockets and grumble when you're forced to switch to one that does not benefit you as much. This in no way adds to party play if anything it detracts from it because of how tailored they are around solo play and running grace/purity in some situations is a choice you make for your own character and not for others.

Response from Rhyse about the "WTB XY" party spam in A3M:

"

Yeah, personally I hate those. I understand that it's nostalgic for some, but really, they need to die in a fire. Hopefully, the upcoming improvements to trade will alleviate this... but I doubt it'll stop it happening completely. T_T

How about you make the search tab support (I don't know the correct term) 'modifications', like if you type in "-wtb" all parties that have the word "wtb" in their description are filtered away? That would filter out almost all of the trade parties and you would only see the 'real' party searches.
