Oh, you're probably right there. The hivemind is a Great Intelligence compared to GGG's elite but very human think-tank. I come across very scathing of GGG and their clinging to the trade aspect but I can be equally sympathetic to their struggle against the insurmountable foe that is the hivemind...
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

Welcome to Path of Exile.
The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change.
Welcome to PoE.

And for anyone who really think GGG will ban the scammers, yall kids are in a rude awakening.

They don't seem to ban anything that could of been avoided with some common sense.
When righteousness falters
And chaos threatens to prevail
I take on a physical body
And manifest myself on earth.

1.) The ends do not justify the means. And anyone would be kidding themselves if they think otherwise. Karma is a bitch. ;-)
2.) GGG's challenges are sometimes grossly unbalanced due to RNG. GGG isn't directly to blame for causing this sort of scam (those abusing the scam are to blame). But that doesn't have to stop us from throwing a little shame on GGG now and then for unbalanced challenges, as this is a perfect example.
3.) Just ignore this challenge instead of opening yourself up to scamming to complete it. Why do you need 40/40 any ways? So you can show off that last totem piece to yourself in your own hideout? People visiting your hideout to trade or group don't care if you have one or not.
4.) No one needs thousands of chaos in a temporary challenge league anyways. It all gets dumped into Standard in the end. Just enjoy the league and earn/grind what you need to get where you want. Too often players spend 99% of their time, churning through 99% of their in-game currency, trying to make their characters 1% more perfect.
There's the point I think. They put the final aesthetic reward at 36/40, giving people flexibility regarding the last few they push for. But for some, 36/40 isn't enough. Since 40/40 is a thing, they'll go for it. And that's fine. It's the whole 'there's a mountain, someone's going to climb it, and it's gonna be me' mentality. If you build it, etc.
Buh? If 40/40 was just forum flair I wouldn't be so obsessed with it, but you are wrong about the final aesthetic reward. The totem topper is the final aesthetic reward.

True, I meant...milestones? The three 'main' rewards associated with every twelfth threshold.

It's pretty impressive to see a player base that is so far gone that they actually support people scamming others.
Also challenges should be challenges, not just exercises in RNG.
Honestly the worst part is how many more folks are spamming most channels trying to pull this bs. When you get to the point where you feel the need to scam folks in a temporary league and you see the community upvoting a scam like that and even trying to improve its efficacy , it's really sad.
The worst part is that GGG won't do anything about it and they know fully well that rare bosses are an issue for the achievements. It's Warband all over again.

Dino, how do you handle challenges that require to kill the boss in red map? I mean it unlocks red map and fucks up Atlas. Or you just don't play League anymore? Or you pay $$ to uncomplete maps? Or you simply don't care?
What you did for End-game grind? Liches? LUL You bought like 45 of them?
Bought all the 2 socket uniques? 5 or so Ex each, this challenge is fucking pricy.
