Suggestion for Private League Modifiers

Hello GGG Team,

I'd like to propose two potential additions to the Private League system that I believe would enhance the customizability and player experience for certain groups within the Path of Exile community:

1. "Only-Gem-Drop" Modifier for Private Leagues
Similar to Ruthless, this modifier would disable purchasing skill gems from vendors, making it so that gems can only be acquired as drops or through other organic means (quests, drops, trading if enabled).

This would allow players to experience a gem-progression challenge without adopting all the other restrictions Ruthless brings.

2. Enable Divination Card Drops in Ruthless Private Leagues
Ruthless has a unique gameplay loop, but many players miss the fun of farming for divination cards, especially as they provide clear long-term goals and incentives.

Giving Private League creators the option to enable divination card drops within Ruthless leagues would increase variety and replayability, without undermining the core difficulty of Ruthless itself.

Why These Suggestions?

Private Leagues are all about tailoring the experience, and these modifiers open up new ways for groups to challenge themselves, roleplay, or explore niche rule sets.

Both options maintain game balance, as they simply provide more granular control for those creating Private Leagues, rather than altering the core game.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I'd love to see even more flexibility in Private League settings going forward!

TL;DR — A Poetic Plea
Let gems just drop, no vendor to see,
A challenge for those who love misery.
And in Ruthless, cards should fall too,
For farmers with nothing better to do.

Give leagues more options, that’s the key,
So PoE can fit every fantasy!
