Unpopular Opinion: League Challenges Should Require Solo Completion

"
Literally nobody said this has to be SSF only. The point is to make it a true solo achievement, still doable in Trade League, but requiring you to put in the actual work yourself instead of just chilling in the trade hall waiting for someone else to pay for your progress. It’s about earning it, not buying your way through. That doesn’t invalidate carries or the player economy, but it does highlight a different way to challenge yourself if you want to. Different playstyles can coexist without one overshadowing the other.


Then don't trade for your challenges. This is something you can do, right now.

Don't make it everyone else's problem.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

To be fair, I did say it should be SSF-only. There are just too many ways to cheese the system in trade, the only way to actually make the achievements mean anything is to enforce a mode where you cannot possibly be helped with any of the progression towards acquiring them. Which includes both beating the content itself and farming up the items used to build your character.

That being said, anyone who cares at all about the number by someone else's name is hilariously ignorant of what it means to actually be good at this game... Ben, literally the best player in the world, often finishes leagues with 20 or fewer challenges done because serious players just don't care about checklists. Those challenges are for you, and you alone, and they don't mean anything to anyone else, and they shouldn't mean anything to anyone else.

If that is how you want to play you have that option. I dont see the issue here?
Just let people play the way they want. Whats so hard about that?

If someone is not enjoying a challenge it shouldn´t bother you at all if they take another players service to complete it.
