I am a casual player and I hate trading the way it is. Too much work, too much chance to get scammed, because I do not know the prices of items.
That is why I play SF in standard. Just for the fun of the game. I seldom read the forums, because they are ruled by all those uber-players talking about a game that I do not know throwing around exalts I never have seen in my 2,5 years of play......oooh sorry, I had one in closed beta before the wipe. Perhaps I have some exalts worth of stuff, but I do not care, because I play my own game and love it that way. Trying to beat the system, not by trading and partying, but by doing it all by myself.

I also think that a SFL would justify itself purely for the reason that it will bring players together that are now drowned in leagues where they can only close their eyes for the community and do their own thing.

I fully support the campaign for a separate SFL.

SFL = no RMT. Yes please.

No RMT? Really? You think RMTers wouldnt sell accounts for ladder spots and such?

Account trading has no influence on a SFL's economy, trading currency does.

A SFL doesnt have an economy as there would be no trading. RMT would affect the ladder though. Someone with bot farmed orbs and items could climb the ladder easier than someone who didnt buy the account from a bot farming RMTer.

Nope. Because bot accounts would be so rare, they'd be easily sniffed out and flagged before they became much of anything.

Why would anyone bot a league where there's no money to be made? Botters would choose to plunder the easier money leagues every time.

There are even bots in D3 still so no matter how much of self found a game is doesnt change the incentive to RMT. They would have to add a pricetag on account creation if they really want to curb RMT and redeem that pricetag in effects after account creation that way RMTers wouldnt pop up acacount after account.

It's different in D3 as the top loot is literally RAINING from the sky, the player base is much larger, AND there's no alternative trading league for the botters to bot.

Next!

I'll get a cookie out of you yet!

Right now people say x guy has y items in his shop, he gotta be a RMTer. If a SFL would exist people would look at the top ladder and think "that guy had to RMT an account with a shavs on it and 100 ex to get there". Both isnt very appealing but a SFL cant be about a ladder as its as RMT infested as the regular one.
