# Target Farming for SSF Players in PoE2

SSF

Isn't the essence of this game rng loot?

I get min/max... but the very principal of playing ssf goes against that concept. If you want to min/max, you play trade. You'll never accomplish the same thing in ssf, never... or at very least its exponential time cost.

I prefer not knowing what drops what, where or how. I don't want specific mobs or bosses target farmed for specific gear. I don't want to lookup loot tables and blah blah. If I did, I'd play trade.

Even using vendors in ssf feels a little dirty. Its a huge shortcut... honestly it kinda clips the wings of the game a little in of itself.

Mobs should drop things by rarity according to their difficulty. All the things. This being gated by rarity. This creates a natural progression.


There are some really curious bad decision making shit in this game. Like all these low level uniques that drop at high levels. Unless I'm making a new character, they're all trash. Why do that? Wouldn't it be way more fun to have uniques of that level drop at that level? Does that make too much sense?

Bit of a tangent.

I'd also love to see the game drop trade and focus the entire balance system around one game mode. The focus would dramatically help game development, and get the heart of the game back where it belongs.

For all the stupid hills that ggg dies on, I'm absolutely shocked that trade exists in this game. This style of game should not have trade. It literally devalues the entire game and virtually nullified balance- its actually trolling.

Trade causes more problems than it solves and has become a crutch for a bad loot system. Just get rid of trade and have the devs feel forced to tackle the issues of the game.

You are into something here. I also think trade is some kind of a cancer for this genre. I've observed quite a lot of the feedback's and it seems people who hate or complain about this type of games are the one who play trade leagues.

Trade just cut 90% of the content that the game offers and makes that content pointless. Majority of trade league players skip 95% of the loot and just picks exalts/divines and t4-5 rares everything else is skip. I mean playing like this I will understand why they complain..!

SSF just makes - even force you to play every mechanic that the game offers. Also majority of SSF players intent to stay most of the league period, while trade league players just cheat themselves by buying the items, playing around them for mostly one week and quit the game by boredom..

The biggest misconception about this game is that it's balanced around trade! But it's not! Actually it's balanced around SSF! And the biggest proof for that is that after a week in trade league there is big inflation going on.. Just in a week from fresh start.. If it was balanced around trade, that should've not happened that early.. And as a SSF player - playing for a just a month i acquired 85 to 90% of the whole content(items and such), just a month.. And league is 4 months so yeah It's quite SSF friendly i must say!
