Would love to see this.

"Social gaming experience", that's rich.

We all know by now that this only means we are confronted with the most disgusting aspects of social behaviour. People + the Internet's anonymity = well, you know where I'm going.

I will gladly skip on that "social experience" ;)

Don't misunderstand me, please. I don't go in for the "social gaming experience" either. I just think it's safe to conclude from the evidence available that this sort of thing is one of the goals of GGG with Path of Exile. As much as I don't care for such things, that seems to be largely where the industry is at, even in games and genres that are traditionally single player experiences. I don't particularly care for it, personally, but it is what it is.

No one should be forced to play solo OR in group. I would play in such league.

"FORCED" how or why is that word even thrown around in free to play game.

Technically speaking, that word is inappropriate for any game, free to play or otherwise, as you always have a choice of the games you play. I think "pushed" would suffice in this context, though.

I know what you mean.

I was just mocking this phrase. I'm sure that's what people would call it.

But, as in so many aspects nowadays, just giving things a nice and developed sounding name, doesn't make them any better.

I would like this too. While I have a lot of free time to devote to the game now, in a couple of months that will change. I would like to still play the game off and on when I can without the feeling of being left behind by the results of a more mature economy. It would suck for GGG to lose genuine fans of the game and genre because those players simply can't devote the time to keep up with the rest of the community, but I could see it being a distinct possibility.

Basically this would be a step away from the boom and bust cycle that many MMO's experience, a fate that PoE doesn't deserve.

If someone is willing to play and he has only one option after this choice-> then he is forced.
If you want to consider every step before making this choice then there is nothing that can be or not can be forced on someone...

If you braindeadsly take this even deeper you can even say people are free to kill each other... Yep there is allways choice with your thinking.

I would prefer to be able to craft my own weapons, that's kinda what drew me to POE in the first place and it's kind of misleading. You just end up having to trade of what you need using a convoluted value system. It would be much more satisfying to craft my own stuff but the gems i need to do that are far too rare.

FIST I LOL SO HARD AT THIS

OK let me get this straight: you don't what to be "forced" to play solo or in a group(which you would have to "choose" one or the other), so you would rather play in league that is only (forcing) solo.
yep its good thing you don't like being "forced" to do things and have choices.

Semantics.

Yes, no one is *forced* to do anything. Not in the strict meaning of the word.

But you still are forced to do certain things, because you'll just gimp yourself if you don't.

+1, I would play this all day.
