GGG can't win the RMT war with the current state of PoE

Theres no reason for there to be a "war" to begin with. GGG being as upset about it as they are is simply evidence of being stuck in the past. It doesn't hurt the game. Its a part of online gaming. You can't stop it.

WoW destroyed the majority ofRMT business connected to them...

RMT in PoE is like desynch; its in every other online game but worse in poe

Wrong conclusion, it will not change anything except big inflation.

It'll encourage players to craft more

Inflation... So what? PoE is an ARPG, not an economy simulator like diablo 3

I think the only _real_ solution is to add a permanent self found league.
self found league: where only real people play, no bots; full legit, full of grind, full of fun, full of purity.

other players can still playing in the old leagues, no problem :)

Hardly hate, but here I go

Thing with a SFL is that you can already do a SLF as is in normal leagues, the only thing that needs to be changed is disabling trading and perma loot.

Why can't you do that in the current leagues? I play self found and don't see the need for another league to split playerbase more.

RMT doesn't affect my play. I play solo/self-found. I doubt it even affects GGGs bottom line. They do a decent job harassing the RMT sites, and catch a few RMTers who score high in their races. That's deterrent enough for me.

same reason why a hardcore league exists.
Sure, you can delete your softcore character dies, but its nearly pointless when all your accomplishments are judged according to a league where nobody else plays by your rules

WoW hasn't destroyed anything. RMT is just as strong as its ever been. Its still the biggest RMTed game. I would agree though that comparatively(per capita) its probably bigger in PoE now then most others.

I'm already playing self found. I'm already "splitted" from other players because I don't trade with them and I don't want to party with cheaters/botters, so I play just with my friends.
So, with a SFL, there would be no _additional_ splittings.

EDIT: a self foung league would incorage me to play with others, because I'll know for sure they can't be botters/RMTers

The economy is very different from standard because of the perma death, and you know it. The devs and players have written vast amounts on the differences in hardcore and standard, and the economy is one of the biggest factors of that.

The whole idea of spending money to take a short cut in a video game just baffles me.

It implies to me that you don't really find the game fun since your skipping a lot of the content.

I can fully understand people doing this .... they skip content that is boring and not fun at all to reach content that is fun and ejoyable.

You want to play build X that requires a 6 Link, unique x,y,z to work at all. The build will be a lot of fun to play for you - but you neither have the 6 link nor the uniques. Sounds like a quite natural thing for me that you try to get the required gear (in any posible way) to play the build you will have fun with.

For many people spending some dollars seems to be lot more attractive then playing the god damn boring "trading game" for hours/days. Cant blame them to be honest.
