GGGs reasoning on not making a SFL?
" guide on how you flip mad exalts pls |

" Again, that's only if you know how to flip and are willing to invest time in it, then you're basically grinding the trade chat :) And yes, there's tons of stuff that can drop that you don't need and still sells well. Certain uniques (just sold a Searing Touch because I won't be making a fire char this league), or simply items that are not upgrades to you but are still valuable. I sell 'trash' all the time for 1-3c. Plays out quite well. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" And who said flipping is required for anything? Grinding is also not required to get items. It's not flawed, and what you've said proved it. Yes, gold could've been grinded, so are orbs in PoE, exactly the same situation. That equation is incredibly irrelevant. Flipping is the most efficient way to get things done, by far. It was like that in D3, and is in PoE. By the way, where do you manage to sell "trash" items for 1-3 chaos? And how about an example of that kind of an item? |
|
" Then how do you get items? " The difference is a) orbs have an intrinsic value and b) most orbs aren't prone to inflation, especially not in the 4-month leagues. So yes, the comparison is flawed. " Again, only if you know how to do it. Flipping was fairly easy in D3 because of the AH and RMAH and the simple itemization. " Mid-quality gems, mid-rolled HP/ES + 2 res armour, mid-rolled weapons... I sell it via a buyout shop, like most people.

Do you know what does the word "grind" mean?
One doesn't have to grind to get items. With a single play-through one can engage a nice flipping activity. Spare us the intrinsic orb value, the most effective way to use an orb is to go shopping. Transfer all orbs into chaos and exalts, that is it, it is the same thing as gold, the same. You could've used gold for gambling, just like you can use orbs in PoE. And the inflation argument is incredibly irrelevant also. I was buying ~1k DPS one-handers for couple of thousands, and then reselling for 30k+. Simple as that, completely the same environment. If you still claim that it's flawed, do explain. Simple itemization argument? You mean res + life (+ AR/EV/ES) gear in PoE? Spell + cast (+ crit)? Phys + IAS (+ crit)? ;) I won't even say that it was a nice try, it was a terrible try. What can I say, if you really do manage to sell those things which serve in the leveling process, where newbies don't use poe.xyz, at least a huge majority of them. I personally don't believe that, at least not that those sales go fluently. I couldn't sell those kind of items in Standard, way before Ambush, and yet you manage that in Ambush. Anyway, setting those 1 chaos items in a shop, setting their b/o's and the whole process of trading, I really wonder how is that worth the time. Having one of the worst trade systems ever, in a trade oriented game... Beautiful. |

94 pages of arguing about this. You really want this sfl so badly...

" Reading some of your posts, one could think you have barely any experience playing PoE. Since you clearly do (a LOT more than myself), you're either trolling or trying really hard to see everything as negative as possible. You simply repeating your false statements and conveniently ignoring some of my arguments makes discussing with you a really softcore experience :P It also baffles me how someone can be a good flipper, but at the same time thinks that setting up buyout shops takes a considerable amount of time or even that it isn't worth it. I upgrade my shop once a day and it takes me literally two minutes. Trading the item ingame takes another minute maybe. That's it. And those newbies all find me through poe.xyz or poemarkets :) GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" I don't flip. I once did for a while, in another game, but it turned out to be shitty and lame, for me at least, so I stopped. I just liked the logic of your post: Flipping is efficient, but people who "cry" about it being so efficient (!) only do so because they are being so inefficient in it. That is so twisted and so blatantly tailored after your preconceptions, that it is both funny and sad. Sad because in your status-quo defending efforts you don't even see how little sense that makes. Funny because you post nothing much except troll-ish oneliners, just like this one. For me you turn out to be something like the court jester here.
