how are u ppl so rich in standard?

How can anyone not be in standard? its fricking easy to trade up in standard

No reset so the economy saturates into Zimbabwe. Standard leagues are called "Dumpster" leagues for a reason. Just play in the fresh economy challenge leagues have to offer every 4 months and avoid standard like the plague.

Standard is permanent league. What that means is that you have INFINITE amount of time to amass some currency.

No waste one month to create a decent build, still end up with crap, then waste a month waiting for the next league to start, waste another month leveling and getting a 180pdps weapon, ending up with 3 exalts in your stash and then doing it all again in the next league.

Permanent league. No time limit. Play as much as your want. You'll get currency no matter what you do.

Not everyone is happy with making awful builds, though.

inb4 "what's a cheap build I can play in a new league?". Dude ends up playing Searing Bond. lol

In a manner of speaking, they aren't "rich."
Prices are silly-inflated to the point that I actually managed to profit on an item I lost in Invasion then traded back through cross-league trading.

But...but you're not allowed to trade between standard and 4-month league. Hmmm....

buy cheap -> sell high
again and again and agai...

Then start manipulating market with your rich friends

Anyone who plays 4 month leagues consistently will become rich if they care about standard. It's really not hard.

People get easily rich in standard since a lot of people have been playing PoE for a long time. All their accumulated playtime from hc, anarchy, nemesis..etc all ends up standard eventually.

Legacy items are also a main culprit. Anyone who has played PoE for a while will have a ton of legacy gear from their previous characters/previous leagues.

Which I traded back into HC. Which, yes, I do care about that league.
