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.

also Semantics

gimping ones self and challenging ones self.
this is why i hate the whole min/max way of thought when it comes to games. just cause its the best damg., build, or whatever out there doesn't make it the best fun or challenge that a player will want for himself.

edit: also if you feel that your being forced and not having fun then maybe this game is not for you. not all games are for everyone nor should they be.

No it does not make it the best or most fun for everyone. But if you can live with limitations, you are at the advantage already.

Why should casual gaming or enjoyment of gimmicky builds with limited efficiency be favored and easier than doing the opposite?

I like gaming on high standards. I do not like economics on a high standard. It's that simple, really.

You are lucky, because the path you chose is independent of the economy.

Good for you.

We already have this league (except for the increased drop rates). There's a secret way to get in to the solo league, just follow these simple steps:



There's a hardcore version too! I'll let you figure out how to activate that.

Spoiler

Step 1: press 'Enter' to open you chat window'.
Step 2: Click the "Hide Normal Chat" checkbox to hide normal chat.
Step 3: Click the "Hide Trade Chat" checkbox to hide trade chat.

Voila! You're now in the solo league. You can play by yourself for hours without ever having to interact with anyone or worry about their awesome items or the economy or anything. Wow.

What a funny and most clever post.

Congratulations, dear Sir!

There is just one problem:

There is a difference between doing the solo thing in a game (league) that's made around trading and one that is designed to be played in the solo way.

I'll let you figure out the answer by yourself.

Solo or group, trade or dont trade, the game can be finished from start to end!! The only difference is your characters build! It is very possible to get through Normal, Crule and Merciless without ever buying a single piece of armour, gem or weapon! Your toon might not be as OP as you would like but ther choice is yours!! This game is designed to played any way you like, its not locked in and the game doesn't change based on wether or not you trade or not, your experince might change because your toon is better or worse but that again is your choice.

Creating a league with no trade option or group option would be a waste of GGG's time and money becasue it already basicly exists!

Increased drop rates bla bla bla... there are more items dropped in this game then anyone can carry!! Pick them up, vendor them and craft them, there's your solo no trading option!

Never going to happen, if you read well, GGG will never make leagues easier than the 2 permanent ones.

Having increased drops will render the league easier; so it will not be implemented

Thats the only reason people want SFL. Not to actually play solo, they want to be top of the ladder with OP items and lots of orbs. No lifers have it even easier without trading because they outfarm everyone else.

Gladly SFL already exists. Just dont psrty with people and dont trade.

Can't you imagine why the droprates should be adjusted?

ATM I have about 350 chaos in my stash, of which 20 I found myself. The others come from selling gear.

If there is no trade, how would you be supposed to gather any orbs?
I sell very sparingly and I don't rely on trading at all, the orbs I get I use to "craft" maps or gear. Still I have acquired 20 times more orbs from selling than from playing.

20 times.

Those who heavily trade will have a far steeper ratio.

That's why playing self found in the current league is impossible, unless you decide to stop at Dominus or lvl 66 maps.
That's why a SFL would require an adjustments in the droprates.

Actually, taken away the trading, the league will be far harder than anything this game has ever had.

Possible yes,probable no.

You've defeated merciless Dominus solo self found with a clean stash how many times in a hardcore league ?

Or are you just taking others word for gospel that they've done it often.
