Uhm, before making comments reread the question asked by OP. Then reread my initial post and then put it in you context and see what the meaning is of the word "never".

+ 0% IIQ/0% IIR but +300% magic monsters/+500% rare monsters in exchange for only finding account-bound items.

I don't think this is possible as you can't have one set of monsters for one player, and one for another - given you could still team=up. The idea is that it affects loot drops only (which *can* be player specific), not monster attributes (which *cannot* be player specific in a multiplayer environment).

So, if you had to choose an IIQ/IIR to play account bound, what would it be?

P.

More orbs but only orbs - these days I don't even use regals anymore because I know that next steps are too expensive. Say 300% orbs only.

Just to be a little facetious, most of my items are account-bound.

But only because no one would want them anyway.

I actually wanted Goddess Scorned to be account-bound, since you can trade the item required to make it, and forging/crafting is the only way I wanted people to acquire the upgrade. No-go, obviously.

As for enhanced loot drops, I'd need to see solid data from GGG regarding *just how tuned for trading* the current loot tables are before making that call.

It's not about what the player *thinks* he want. It's about the added value PoE can get being as it is now (trade>everything).

Just like you could hope for a toggleable on/off about playing online/offline, it's not what GGG wants whether we like that option or not.

Also account bound currecy is already real : imprints.

Mf needs to be removed not only the IIQ mods cant roll on gear anymore except some uniqes which every mf build is forced to wear, in diablo 2 you get maybe 1 uniqe per bosskill without mf, in poe you get nothing maybe 5 rares from an entire map without mf

Hi P

For me, to have every drop account bound, i'd require feasible crafting in exchange, i.e increase drop of ex and et so that I could craft end game rare. The RNG is far too strong in this game that I feel it doesn't matter with all the item drop being rare, as they 99.9999% end up being rubbish and would end up being annoying for me to do the chaos recipe unless ....

introduce a recipe for ex/et orbs (with not too crazy requires) so players can farm to get the orbs so they can craft.

I trade most of the time for item progression, and hoard ex because I want to buy item upgrades rather than crafting, if i have 10 times more wealth than I have now, I might start the crafting process

build enabling unique are different matters, for me they should drop far more frequent compared with now, and top tier unique (eg shavs, CoE) i'd like to see once before my character level to lvl 90... it would really suck self found to be missing that unique which stops you doing end game viable low life build say.

On a separate matter, if the league is self found, there wouldn't be any need for interaction of the players. Although the current map drop rate sucks in SC, but that's how I end up making friends, to share the cost of mapping. without it i'd never met the friends I have in POE

I had a blast in the 2 weeker doing self found, wouldn't mind playing in a temp 4mth league!

Hard to tell. Not only I'm afraid of terrible RNG (even at 1000% IIR it could take forever to drop a specific unique), but after a while most items that drop would drastically lose value. I really don't want another D3.

It's account bound so item value wouldn't matter.
