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

Loot should be buffed across the board, there's no need to limit it to SSF. Especially for the worst offenders like greater jewellers.

SSF will still be separate from Standard/Trade.

The Loot Buff proposal for SSF won't add something new for the player to choose to play for a mode? SSF is built-in.


I was reffering to this part but maybe i misunderstood:

It should be optional. There should 3 league types (aside from the SSF variants):
1 - Normal, which has no such insane penalties on death.
2 - Masochist mode, which is currently what the game is.
3 - Hardcore Masochist mode, the current Hardcore mode.



I don't like the idea of creating more categories and sub-categories for playstyles. I play SSF because i enjoy progressing on my own through the same game balance (combat and loot) that everyone else is experiencing, regardless of how quickly anyone does it. Even though i dont trade, it still makes the in-game economy / value of items feel better. It's just a prefrence though.

I dont have this issue with HC / SC because the balance between the two is the exact same other than character death.

For sure +1000 to that!

But, SSF needs it even more! They Cannot TRADE!

OK, I kinda see what you mean.

That was copy/pasted as an example idea.

But do you have an issue if SSF had a Loot Buff? Players would still just play in SSF -- no need to play in a diff mode!

GGG made it clear multiple times over the years that they don't want SSF to get any special treatment. The problem is, drop rate in PoE1 was enough to play SSF comfortably, like i never reached endgame while still having half my gear from act 3, and i usually had 5 link at least. Sidenote also never spent more than 6 hours reaching it, but that's another story entirely.

The drops are just not good enough no matter what league you're playing. At least not before T15 (and still bad after that for jeweller's).

Never came across that..!

But...if the playerbase/community has enough of a want for it...that may change..!

This is EA after all..!

You should put it into a separate stash so that when you're level 96 with 3 links it'll remind you that SSF is good. Chances are though, you'll still be needing that item.
