GGGs reasoning on not making a SFL?
" This sentence alone should make to think a bit. You haven't seen it in any other game? Ok, that may be. Then you should think one step forward: "Why"?. You even ask the question yourself. I'll try: 1) NO aRPG I've ever played, has been so unrewarding as PoE 2) NO aRPG I've ever played, has been so centered around trade and economy as PoE. 3) NO aRPG I've ever played, has hidden XP-gain and leveling behind RNG. 4) NO aRPG I've ever played, has been an economy pyramid of the level PoE is. And I've played A LOT of aRPG. Then, you may ask: Why are you playing this game, when you don't like it? I DO like it, but with a couple of SMALL tweaks, I could've loved it. BUT, I don't think a SFL is the answer. But the "need" for it comes from (in my eyes) some bad choices and some bad balancing. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

Actually the way D3 RoS has implemented quasi self-found works well in my view. You play the game to find (or gamble for) items and you have a two hour trade window to trade stuff you find - but you can only trade with the people that were partied with you when you found the item.
Anecdotally, the community spirit in parties is also vastly superior to what ti was, as a result - people actually facilitate giving items to other people they've just partied with as there's very little marginal value in hoarding items that you already have/have better versions of. P. |

Chris doesn't want one...it will NEVER happen
Crafting doesn't exist in POE. Gambling does...and the house always wins.
Velocireptile - I LOL'ed. Which made me fart. I wish the office were empty right now :( Hardlicker - I had to push the dog out of the way so I could get to the sexy quilt. |

" Its already done. No SFL boohoo but just for laughs and to prove SFL wouldnt be so great after all i recommend GGG to make either a 1 week or 1 month race as a SFL or a 4 month league, i prefer the former though. 1 Month is long enough to get to lvl 60 and beyond so SFL proponents would finally cry about something else instead of wanting something the devs dont want at all in their own game. |
