The events and interactions leading up to the point where someone is able to accumulate 4 mirrors involve rmt. It's an indirect effect.

By that logic anyone who trades frequently is a RMTer(or involved with RMT). Anyways with all that uber farming it shouldn't seem so odd that he has so much currency. Uber was extremely profitable early on.

read what he wrote again. slowly this time.
directly or indirectly involve RMT. this means either he himself RMTed, or somewhere down the line someone RMTed those 4 mirrors and ton of Exalts (or any subset of them) - before he got those.
and where did they come from? either a very large group of bots botting the extremely bot-convenient RNG framework 24/7, players who got lucky and decided to make a buck off their luck, or both.

so true, it hurts.
but because it hurts, you and others like you continue to choose denial over looking at the ugly face of the sad truth.
that truth is, RMT is so deep-rooted in this game, there are no words left nasty enough to properly describe this really.

So, RMT.

What do you folks propose GGG do, that it isn't already doing?

Please bear in mind that GGG does not reveal the details of their current efforts against RMT, because that would undermine those very efforts. ='[.]'=

There is nothing they can do, simple as that.

An optional SFL is what they could do.

I'm not vehemently opposed to a SFL or anything, but I don't really see how it would help at all here.

Not if they wanna keep GGG alive as a development studio.

My 2 Chaos

Trading is meant to be an integral and important part of path of exile. Can you play self found? yes, you can. But your most likely going to be worse than a guy who trades because the game is designed to have trading. IMO all your doing is denying yourself one of the central aspects of the game. Self found just isn't my cup of tea, but if you like it go ahead.

It only makes sense that one of the challenges involves this key part of path of exile. It requires knowledge of whats worth what, ability to barter and a bit of luck. Is it hard? Yes it is. Pretty much undoable if you play self found, but that's a decision the player makes, not GGG.

In the case of the Atziri thing. Yes you can buy a service. Is anyone forcing you to? No. Do i believe that there should be a way to stop this Atziri service thing? No. I don't run them, and I have not bought one. I'd rather kill her myself. But I see it as fascinating. Its a similar concept to hiring a plumber fix your pipes. You could do it yourself, but you probably don't know how, and even if you do it'll take a fair bit of time and effort to get the tools and resources. So instead why not pay a guy to do it for you? Similar concept here. Not everyone can do Atziri, some builds simply can't (flameblast ignite, for instance, as she is immune to ignite). Instead they pay a guy who can do it (example, a dual wield blender, those are usually pretty nice at it if the player knows what hes doing) to do it for them. This involves the trading aspect of the game instead of the combat aspect. Nifty.

I know I'm one of a small few. I actually see the trading aspect not as something that is evil and should burn nor as something to be a abused to accrue massive amounts of shiny data packets, but simply something good that is there, is useful and should be used.

EDIT: On the topic of the self found leagues, they simply would need a buff in loot in order to work the same as current ones. If it was permanent it wouldn't be needed, but if they were identical to the challenge leagues they would need to be buffed, or else you simply wouldn't be able to get all 8 challenges. Its a choice between change the achieves or change the loot mechanics, and i would choose loot. (but then comes the issue of all that loot funelling into standard, more work to be done)

This guy is calling himself an old school gamer? Please, this thread reeks with the concepts of entitlements that modern day gamers have.

Please explain your reasoning behind this line of (threatening) thinking?

It's not easy to explain but i can give it a go.

desync is real (i know, stop beating the dead horse.)

Given an SFL would have the same drop-rates as currently exist, coupled with
"exponential grind"(because, self-found) and the bullshit dead's that exist, this would yield massive bad player-experiences, thus resulting in less "support".

Just developing this would distract them from what they are doing now, which again would yield bad support for them.

The game is based around the economy, an SFL would require massive efforts in terms of balancing, one might just ask GGG to start developing PoE2 and take the lessons they learned from PoE.

tl;dr : given the current netcode issue's and an sfl based on the original design without alterations massive player qq would be inbound, if it would not, then it would have a very small number of "veteran" players not worth the effort to spend development time on.

Either way, it's a no go.

edit : hmm this is a basic way of explaining it, very basic. A lot more factors come into play, but i think you get the jest of it without me dedicating a page to it.
