And if it will be, I'll be the first to dance on your bones, naysayers.

Necroing threads now to make the issue seem more "important"? Yeah not a chance.

Oh yeah btw, SFL is never going to happen. And that's a good thing and will make PoE playable for 10 years.

Just like the loot change was never going to happen

Vote 4 SFL.
Dont need drop changes. Simply want a SFL.

Ignore the ladder and dont trade and take items from others. Done.

No, thats not the same. At least NOT as a player who cares about ladders. With this argument, no HC ladder is needed. Simply delete your char if it dies.
I like to play ladder - but not with different preconditions.

Perhaps, But I will not stop hoping.
I dont NEED a SFL for sticking with PoE, but would love it :-)

It was a big factor for most people - the forums was flooded, it was a topic that was discussed on other forums "great game, but it's pretty annoying that you have to fight over loot". SFL isn't a popular idea 500-1000 people have been writing on the forums for a year now. That's not enough to implement it.

Can't please everyone and when you try you end up pleasing no one. IMO GGG has right idea. Hard complicated game, some will love it, some will hate it, but at the end of the day it will provide a place that matches with a certain subset of players who will be very happy. Rest can go play diablo 3, torchlight, or something else and be happy there.

I have no Problem with this. I do play D3 (no ladder, but selffound viable) and PoE. Thats ok for me.

That's the pb, you could easily please everyone with different leagues, instead of just waiting for those players to go to another game. That's the beauty of the league system. It's a shame not to use it.
It won't "split the player base" if "only 500~1000" player wants it. But it will keep those players active on PoE though : maybe they will race with the others, maybe they will keep other chars on 4 months hardcore league while they also play their long-term self-found char, maybe they will keep giving money to ggg which they wouldn't have otherwise, etc.
It's juste a wrong move imo to not give something that *could* (we aren't sure yet, but it's a possibility) HUGELY entertain a big population of the players, and prevent them from quitting on the long run ; and doesn't have any big potential downside. Moreover so when the ONLY argument that Chris gives in his interview is "sfl would be detrimental to the gamer's feeling because when they drop a good item that doesn't fit their build they wouldn't be excited because they wouldn't be able to trade it"...

As for "it'll never happen", yeah, maybe, but that's not a reason to stop fighting for it if we feel it's retarded not to make such a league. Moreover so when I see such threads, with good arguments for the sfl, and only stuff like "you can play sf already" or "it'll never happen so stop asking" against it.
