Dear GGG: PLS Consider SSF LOOT BUFF To Compensate TRADING...Details Below :)

Personally i feel like "ruthless mode" for POE2 should be the try hard "challenge mode" and SSF should be balanced to be a fun solo experience.

Like D2 which did not have its drop rates/power curve taylored to compensate for the fact that players would eventually create the "D2 java script portal" and sell items and gold for real money.

D2 is a better game (core gameplay wise, I should specify obviously POE has way more stuff to do) still IMO than POE1 and 2 due to POE2's de-evolution into POE1 clone at endgame.

So I don't think its a bad idea to have a mode of your game that has loot drops balanced to be a fun solo player experience. In fact I think not having a mode like that is just a short sighted failure on the games dev's part considering D2 was their inspiration.
Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4.
If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years.

D2 is a better game still IMO than POE1 and 2 due to POE2's 1button de-evolution at endgame also.

...and how about about SSF Loot Buff (to compensate for Trading)..?

its implied but yeah not having trade drop rates in SSF would be nice. Because they can and probably will make a "challenge mode" (ruthless) and it makes no sense for a D2 spiritual successor to not have something akin to an offline Players/N mode for solo players.
