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

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.

RMT wont get you anything really worthy in WOW - nothing. Every top end drop is from raids and bind on pickup - you cant trade for them so you cant get them via RMT.

Only way to prevent RMT that proved working.

WoW has a very minor RMT problem - sure you can sell billions of gold to 8 million players for cash but that gold is not very usefull.

Thing with a SFL is that you can already do a SLF as is in normal leagues,

don't see the need for another league to split playerbase more.

These excuses are just bad. If enough people want the league to happen then these excuses aren't good enough to stop it.

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.

I can agree with this part which is why I think there should be a balanced self found league for those who don't want all of the flipping BS but still want to progress without playing 5k hours plus.

However I still think its insanity to skip the content in a video game with real money. Its cheating, and cheating is always lame.

actually just remove the orbs , we don't need crafting anyway

IamStryker suggested before a far better solution: make all orbs character bound.

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.

As mentioned before - same with HC league. You could delete your char after death, a HC league is not "needed".
SFL for the Players who want to be sure playing with other conditions being equal. Simple as that.
And i would LOVE a SFL.

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.

And here we come to the crux of the problem. Instead of copying someone else build, make your own (that doesn't rely on 6 linked items). This IS the issue. Random guy copies build from streamer; needs alot of specific items (which dont drop) and then they have to resort to the 'trading game'. Better to build your characters around the items you find.

read first page, then last page.

this thread is derailed by default.

I figured from the title there would be discussion about
the problem but its not been the case. the op is not
offering any body to go with his topic.

anyone who actually wants to help discuss the finer points
of RMT issues and how to deal with them should make a new
thread.

I'm ashamed to see 3 pages of replies to this post.

Yup sfl zealots take every chance they get to spout their nonsesne iamstryker being one of the worst offenders.

I think the only _real_ solution is to add a permanent self found league.

U can't solve RMT by adding a SFL, because bots will just sell accounts, not items, and RMTers would just buy them. RMT could be even worse than ever in a SFL, as most of people wanting a SFL want it with increase drop rates and easier trading, so botters will build sick ass characters more quickly than ever, than sell these for $$$.

That's because hardcore is actually hard. Self-found lasts you just fine up until mid-late maps, I rather they just address that instead of creating a new league for it.
