The Self Found League

+1

I was so naive when i bought D3, i thought that their trading system was awesome. After a few months it was the main reason why i stopped playing it.

Then i moved to PoE, and one of the reasons was their innovative trading system. I thought that i was going to enjoy to barter and negociate with other players, and i did when it was in CB, but not anymore.

Please GGG DO NOT create a SELF FOUND LEAGUE, otherwise i will not stop playing PoE, and i wanna have a life!

I really think that, by the large amount of replies and enthusiasm this suggestion is getting, there should be a specific answer from GGG on this mather.

I believe they were specifically asked either on this forum or in an interview what they said about something like Self Found League, and I recall them being positive about it. The only thing is, that's all the detail we have. Could be a GGG permanent league, could be a future paid league, we don't know.

Cool idea, +1
I hope there's a pvp league for self finders as well, I plan on getting into pvp at some point so that would be my dealbreaker as far as rolling a self found.

If i can suggest that if they ever make a self found league, then imo they should give each char his very own stash (no character sharing stash), i think it would really fit the overall idea, if it wasn't suggested before. I honestly like this idea, i'm not sure it's worth the effort from a dev standpoint, but well if they ever do it, i don't think it would hurt the game at all, and i would probably play this league.

Yea m8 that's why i specifically sayed "specific" answer :). Too many people like me and i guess like you too, and like pretty much everybody else who commented this thread would like a league like this. I'm also 1 of those guys who loves the game, check the forums on a daily basis, theory craft a lot but still finds no motivation to really play right now.

If that's a condition of this league I'd remove my support as it would destroy my wish to play that league.

Also this goes into the same pile as the No Party idea. The reason to have a No Trade league is NOT just because we want some 'place to be our own'. If it was ONLY because we hate trading then we can just play a regular league and keep the trade channel closed. The only difference then is the ladder rankings and, honestly, having a completely new league up JUST so that you get a shot at the top of the ladder is a bad precedent to evoke.

Self Found is meant to exist both for non-trader's sake and for trader's sake. There's ideas that are going around that would help Traders heavily (web site trading, tweaking drops so that the orbs work better as currency, ext.) but would mess up Self Found players. Meanwhile Self found ideas are floating here that would ruin a Trading economy. Seperating the two would allow both to tweak the game for their styles better.

If your only desire is to be in a place with no sharing stash then either just don't mix the alt's stashes or just run multiple accounts so that hey get a full stash to themselves. If you have ideas on tweaks that would really benefit a person that doesn't stash share that they can't do for themselves but would hurt those that do want to share a stash then perhaps another thread is involved. This thread is for Party/Sharing/no trading.

(unless there's a good reason why a no trade league MUST have stash share turned off. Not really sure why myself)

I'm with Dakarian: no. Many players enjoy that moment when they have found a very nice item for an alt. By excluding said players, we're overly specializing the league.

^ Agreed

As per my comments in the other thread what I want is a solo, no trade with currency drops rebalanced to allow solo players more realistic crafting. It also needs, at least from my point of view, to be hardcore and softcore like the main leagues. Merciless death penalty, mob, boss and zone difficulty, etc is fine.

I could live with no party although I think a semi sharing party mode is against the spirit of solo play which is to make a league where playing on your own is the best option. A lot of the suggestions made above also make it rather too complicated IMHO.
