Unfair advantage

if you are not using tft you may have a hard time doing challenges.
and some ppl think that amount of challenges completed is a metric of success and are an element of competition. so e-peens are involved.

Not really - there are plenty of other places to get challenge completion aid, the forums here, Reddit, global /820 etc.

that's why the word "may" was used?
you've wasted 60 sec of my life
give it back

OP is right but they'd have to gut the drops on most of the crafts to avoid flooding the market with thousands of cheap but powerful rerolls.

They probably need to make the equivalent of a bestiary orb where you can store a harvest craft but it costs 20-30c off Oshabi, that way we can trade expensive and/or rare crafts but we aren't cycling 30 seeds into stash every harvest to trade reforges.

Discord harvest trades aren't really any different to RMT they shouldn't really be enabling them as its direct power from outside of their ecosystem.

Access and use of a third party tool is not an unfair advantage when it is a resource that is freely available to all. Losing that access does not change that availability and usefulness to anyone other than the one who fucked up. Their problem.

Just want to put in my 2 cents here. TFT is not just Harvest. To me, TFT is basically a public guild. It's actually pretty useful. You want to bulk buy shaper/elder guardian maps? Sell your awesome historic jewels? Need some help on pricing an item or advice on why your build isn't going so great? It's all there.

This is just for all the people who say they don't use TFT because of Harvest. You're missing out on other cool community aspects of it.

D3 got it right. TGGG, get rid of trade and make all items account bound. All problems solved (including your constant skills nerfs and balancing dance)

It *is* an unfair advantage to use Discord, but it looks like Harvest in its current state is going to be removed from the game prior to PoE 2. Chris hates everything about Harvest, and he hates that people like it even in its nerfed state.

I'd expect augments to be removed completely and for the other crafts to stop respecting metamods.

I will not join TFT. I’ve seen enough of their dirty laundry aired out on Reddit and the forums that I want nothing to do with that clique.

I switched to SSF in Heist and I will not return to trade leagues as long as TFT is a thing.

100%

Ritual should have been my favorite league of all time. I'd been waiting for Perandus 2.0 since Perandus 1.0 and I had a character I really enjoyed and a Headhunter on day 5. TFT and the broader state of Harvest sunk that fun real fast.

I tried Ultimatum in trade league b/c I thought the Harvest nerfs might be enough to change things. It wasn't, really.

Playing Expedition in SSF and still playing daily, really enjoying my time there. If and when I league start in trade again it will probably be for memes/luls. It's impossible to take seriously when the best items come from a series of discord transactions.

It is insane for a gaming company to lock the top tier of progression (best items) behind a private discord channel.

Their changes only made it worse (more scarcity, less point trying it without the discord).


So many bad decisions.

I get that it is easy to be an armchair quarterback, but honestly... what is going on at GGG.

Is TFT a GGG thing? I thought it was unrelated to GGG. If GGG isn't running it, then I don't see how you can say a gaming company is locking anything behind a private discord channel.

Also, even if TFT is an advantage, I hardly see how it's an unfair advantage. I mean, what's stopping you from creating your own competing discord channel? Or something better?
