You can go to Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, Russia... A lot of places where "RMT" doesn't excist :)

Not sure about North Korea, but literally all the other countries you named have money and trading xD

OP - take a stance. Don't play.

Move along, and stop being a Karen.

Edit: Hidden profile LOL - RMT much?

Any game worth playing that has trade in it will have RMT. All you can do is refuse to participate.

This is literally the only online game I have played within the past 5 years which hasn't stamped out RMT with extreme prejudice.

Sorry, but no.

worth playing?

Chris: We don't design our game so that everyone can do all challenges
Also Chris: We want players to engage with the league mechanics

Chris: Loot and items are what drive the modern ARPG
Also Chris: If I had my way, the game would only ever have Hardcore SSF mode

Chris: We want good items to be rare and hard to find
Also Chris: The trade API does a very good job of letting the player market self-correct. If you don't want to pay x, don't buy it.

Other games: Rare and unique items are bound to your character, can't be traded to other players or even other characters on your own account, and can't be listed in the AH
PoE: everything is currency and we don't even have an AH but people still manage to get scammed

RMT is inevitable unless you restrict trade. And those games that still draw new players even though they restrict trade, aren't driven by loot or items.

Other than Mathil ... who is a cool, chill dude I don’t bother watching any streamer unless they are playing HCSSF. That way I know what they are doing isn’t pay to win and what they have they earned and they put at risk every map.

For my own style of play I like SSF as well. No bottlers no wasted time trading.

This has been my first full season and this has been a great time! I learned how itemization works, how to craft and the mechanics of most of the endgame bosses.

Next season will be different and likely harder without deterministic crafting but that adds a new layer of challenge. Also who knows what the next league mechanic will bring. The future of PoE is pretty bright.

I can't say I lose any sleep on this.

why ssf is not an option?

What games? Any game that 'stamps it out' removes or heavily restricts trading, or has developer endorsed RMT like WoW tokens - doesn't count.
