The betrayal going per account isn't too much of a bother for me.

But the delve going per account seems bad.

1. Farm sulphite 4-8k per map on t16 on main character
2. Use MF character on low delve and go sideways for 10 hours straight
3. completely destroy fossil economy
bonus. new characters don't know where to start delving; can I do depth 80? or 200? I can't tell, I have 25k sulphite

just my 2 cents but I think delve was in a perfect state before

This is just nonsense, you can already do this.

Just because you have an mf char doesn't mean you have zero dps and cant kill monsters in t13-t16 maps. Said mf char can also just rush through niko daily and scarabed maps and get the same amount and delve for just as long, all you're getting is a small shortcut from the current way.

Also on your last point, nobody with resting 25k sulphite has a new char where they don't know if they can do depth 80....You've already been past that point anyway likely and are familiar with the territory.
And if you're really that unfamiliar with your own character then you only need to do one single node to check if its too easy.

Synthesis was a bit dissapointing for me because there was too much management to be done. Alva, Betrayal, the Nexus,...

After reading this I feel excited to restart playing again in the next league

Would you consider creating a SSF version where you can't migrate back to the trade league but would have increased drop rates?

We feel that providing permanent access to a version of Path of Exile where players progress more quickly would be a mistake. Sometimes we run special events that have mods that make the game more rewarding, but these are not available perpetually.

As a preface, I think GGG does a good job overall. But I have to comment on this. So, trade is overpowered and that is the reason an AH is a no go? But, in a no trade league it would be overpowered to implement a few things to "equalize" it with a trade league? Come on man.

you lie about having no interns,

all i can see is the interns that make idea about the league at the moment

it never happen when Chris make the idea about new league

synthesis is so shit yet i still do 36/40

I love lore so much! I am looking forward to know more about Kalandra

Thank you so much for answering!

Progress more quickly????
SSF is X-times slower than Trade leagues on both, currency and item acquisition.
What the person asking this likely meant so to equalize efectivity of SSF with trade. To actually allow SSF players have meaningfull progression.

damn bro I expected more curse changes. i always wanted to do curse bot or smth but I dont really see too much point in it as mobs usually die before they get cursed :( and curses for shaper, elder etc. are just not good and you are better off going solo then takin curse bot with ya

all the talk about curse changes are just temp chains and enfeeble :( sure its more viable but to me it was not a big change. my dreams!
