Make SSF Fun and call it Baby mode.

Title, by now this is iteration number 4 and every single time there has been a world ending exploit by end of week 2, most actually have been on week 1. Casuals cannot compete with the divine printing machine that are exploits and dedicated group users. It cannot be done, and this affects casual players because they are unable to acquire loot due to the massively inflated prices. The answer is simple, GGG.

Make a fun Solo Self-found with increased rarity and increased quantity, furthermore have an NPC that exchanges crafting orbs using Exalts as currency.

There, your game will instantly become playable past week 2, casuals will be able to enjoy the game at their own pace always having a path forward to gearing, they will also learn how to craft and in turn have even more fun in the game. They will be able to ignore economy ending exploits that are 10000% sure to come every league.

You are most welcome for my genius idea.

When choosing to play Fun SSF you would get the following perks:
- Up baseline rarity by 100% (increased rarity as if your character was running that stat)
- Up quantity by 30% baseline.
- Make an orb exchanger npc (exclusive to this mode) that exchanges all orbs available in the game for exalts.


Alchemy and Exalted orbs are 1 to 1.
Chaos Orbs are 1 per 5 exalteds.
Greater Exalted Orbs are 1 per 10 exalteds.
Greater Chaos orbs are 1 per 50 exalteds.
Perfect Exalted orbs are 1 per 100 exalteds
Perfect Chaos orbs are 1 per 200 exalteds.
Divine orbs are 1 per 200 exalteds.
Chance Orbs are 1 per 150 exalteds.
Annulments are 1 per 50 exalteds. (they should be 100 but annulments are fun, and should be readily available for SSF)
Fracture Orbs are 1 per 500 exalteds

And all orbs can be traded back to exalteds at the same ratio.
Everything can cost a bit of gold to ensure players keep running maps, sure why not.

There, SSF is fun and players learn to craft. Easy, game saved. Thanks all for coming.

Bonus! You can keep the old boring Solo Self Found and rename it to Ruthless mode! Yipee. Or you could call this mode baby mode, I don't care, I want to have fun without having to exploit.

why do you think you need to print divine orbs?
in ssf, anything you can find can be bought in better form in the trade league with exalts.

if there were extra loot and extra conveniences in ssf mode, ssf wouldn’t have any meaning. have you ever tried last epoch? loot just keeps raining nonstop...

Cool, thats why we can call it baby mode. I don't really care that you think SSF is some badge of honor.

declined.

not a good idea.

will not and should not happen

This would be a great idea. I'd pay 50 bucks monthly to have decent loot quantity and quality and not have bosses drop portal scrolls. Just make a single player version of the game. Done.

Sorry, but no thanks

Trade league is baby mode.
You just buy it .....

your logic is backward.
SSF there is no market.... soooooooo

The reading comprehension is abysmal. Trade league is already baby mode? Cool, but what does that even have to do with my idea? The problem is that trade league is busted wide open week 1, and if you don't exploit you are left behind. That is a feel bad moment and it has happened 4 times already. Currently SSF is boring because ground loot feels bad, single player rarity is abysmal, and orbs such as divines are extremely feel bad, you just don't need as many divine orbs in SSF.

My suggestion literally fixes everything and more. Its brilliant.
