GGGs reasoning on not making a SFL?

No, you think that, despite you've already being said that it's not the case. Just cut your crap.

I don't even know which side either of you are on.

Regardless, I will say that I was wrong and flipping is not required, HOWEVER to make progress in a reasonable amount of time in late game you will have to spend some time in trade chat. You don't get to stay long in high maps, or get GG gear without flipping unless you are prepared to heavily invest your time. Like really heavily. There is a point where trading and flipping is the only way to make noticeable progress, either through the crafting game or by saving for high end uniques.

A system where the final goal is gated behind the most boring means of progression is pretty lame in my opinion, and is the reason many players stop once they reach this point (not a fact but something which I've seen time and time again in game and in forums).

I'm neutral, Xav however, isn't.

idk why ppl feel so strongly not having one... i mean how is it going to hurt you to have other people playing in a totaly different league?

Fewer opportunities to unload their shit or snatch up things on the cheap. Can't exactly finagle a Mirror off a noob in a SFL.

asking blizzard for anything is utterly pointless

Actually, D3 has/had a HUGE SFL base. They got what they wanted, sorta.

And most others ARPGs are not so high on trade as PoE.

yeah
because AH made game a joke after nerfs

i started after 1.0.3 and knew precisely that AH would make game easy

first barb died in A2 Cruel

second barb made all the way through Inferno Silver Spire level 2
where he died to DC/lag/bug in the middle of the smashers pack

all of this was self found and quite challening

then they added MP levels (but didn't make an option to lock MP level!)

with WD I made it to Inferno self found MP10
it was even more challenging (especially boss fights, especially Belial and Cruel Diablo)
did wretched mother quest but was too scared of freeze next quest, so that was it

it's fun when white zombie two shots you and that little spiky thing 5-shots you from distance

basically all i want to say that BoA make little sense when a) game is a joke, b) when there is no competition

in this game we have both rather complex, hard game and ladders etc
