The Self Found League

I understand this is a popular idea, but is creating a whole new league really the answer? What stops you from simply turning off trade chat and not trading items? It seems unreasonable to assert that the devs should do a bunch of extra work to achieve the same result as having a little self-control in-game.

You, sir, would do well with reading the thread a bit before posting an ill-informed message about it. To wit: Self Found League is not about self-control.

I simply stated that I believe that the ability to disable trade chat is a simple, effective solution compared to the creation an entirely new league for the sole purpose of not being able to trade. If you don't want to trade, don't trade. It really is as simple as that.

I know what you stated, but it is clear you still don't really understand what Self Found League is about. It really "is" as simple as that.

That's why I said you should read the thread. It's clear you haven't.

I am all for a Self-Found League. I for the most part play solo, I do group once and awhile, but not very often. I do not trade and use only what I find.

Look forward to playing in this new league when it is implemented.

No, because drop rates, especially crafting materials (currencies) are balanced around trading.

Although I'm not into leagues, I would for sure try Self Found League, reminds me of D2 times, when I was playing for long time, have a lot of fun and good characters, and never, ever logged into Battle Net.

Would join this league in a heartbeat, and scrap my characters / start over happily.

Like many others, I have no interest in the archaic bartering system, and have no desire to become a "trader" or "wealth earner".

My duelist is now level 70, and "feels" weaker now than he did 10 levels ago. The reasons are similar to those given by others, so no need to repeat them.

I am already a Silver Supporter, and do not regret my decision at all to support the game. I enjoy the monster slaying, the atmosphere, the danger, complexity, etc. VERY much.

I am however quickly losing my desire to continue, because it seems the current model demands that I trade to advance.

If a PERMANENT league such as this were created, with its own balance rules to facilitate advancement via drops and crafting only, I'll be around for a very - long - time.

PvP in such a league would be awesome:)

Great idea, this would be the league for me!
/Support !!!

Another vote of support here.

I'm all for this, I think a simple way to apply it is disable trades in towns and apply the way dropping an item works in town to the entire game. That is if you try dropping the item it only asks if you want to permanently destroy it. No trading whatsoever not even between friends or party members.
