Pretty much this

SSF meant for the challenge, not for a benefit

Guys...read the Thread's content pls lol

for those who may have forgotten.

when POE first started players could ALWAYS play SSF without SSF tag. SSF tag/mode did not exist. it was a self imposed rule.

most of the community did not complain.

then SSFers became more vocal. they wanted an actual game mode/tag to differentiate themselves and disable partying/trading.

most of the forummers (myself included) found it stupid/useless and were against the idea.

there was ZERO benefit for SSF. it was plainly a badge of honour to validate their achievements as you could simply play and not trade and not party without needing any special SSF mode. but without any special SSF mode you couldnt "prove" to anyone that you really did SSF.

and ironically, people who dont SSF dont even care if your SSF claim was false to begin with.

GGG finally gave in and made SSF a thing but only after the SSF gang clarified that SSF did NOT REQUIRE any CHANGE TO LOOTDROPS.

GGG does not want to balance 2 different game modes/ 2 different economies.

Balancing even 1 economy is hard enough. But with the ancient SSFers assuring GGG that they did not care for a different droprate. GGG felt that it was not too big of a request to grant them that game mode.

SSF was born.

10 years later now we have young SSFers wanting a different drop pool/rate.

this is exactly what GGG did not want to begin with.

now the history lesson is out of the way.

i actually would prefer the droprate of basic stuff to be increased as a baseline. not just SSF.

any droprate buff that is "SSF only" is something i am against.

no it's not, it's to stay away from cheaters, rmters and hide out warriors. trade is just a cesspool at this point.

Really like this thank you for sharing this (will keep editing this...)

0. Thank you so much for sharing that History!
1. Can that SSF tag still be done for PoE2? :)
2. Interesting point that you mention GGG does not want to balance 2 diff economies. Yes. That's definitely a "hurdle" for this "proposal"..not sure how they'll get around it technically. but that was addressed in posts in previous pages lol.

3. Your last point near the end. I'd have to disagree on that... -- that'd mean both SSF and Trade gets buffed? Why...lol

Yup


Asking for special bonuses for a challenge mode is just misunderstanding why the mode exists in the first place


Won’t happen thankfully 👍

I think part of the problem for the SSF people right now is that crafting is terrible. Once GGG makes crafting great again, I think it will fix the issue with SSF.
