The Self Found League

I would love to play self trading league , i just saw this post now , i made one a few mins ago saying almost the same

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/476709

i would love to se a perma league HC, TURBO , Self found with an increase of drop rate of rares/uniques.

Would be amazing.

I'd abandon all other leagues and play "Self-Found" only if they included it. The currency spammers would hate it. It would be a good way to take a jab at the black market currency exploiters. Which means nobody on self found league can pay to win. GGG doesn't have a horse in the race as far as the currency market goes, so I don't see why they would be opposed to it from a commercial standpoint. This would also be the first and only ARPG with a "self found" league.

Also people on self found league would have more of a need for extra stash tabs, because people would be stashing tons of leveling gear for their alts. Hording items would be encouraged. Which means GGG might sell more microtransactions.

I think self-found would encourage more positive community interaction. For example, I'm teaming with an archer, but I'm 2h melee, I'm gonna let the archer have all the rare bows that drop. Maybe put a short timer on drops after you pick them up where you can drop them back on the ground within that window, in case you grab something by mistake another guy might need.

lol @ everyone who " agrees " if you agree, then PLAY SELF FOUND. No need for a new league.
No one forces you to trade.

would be awesome to have this as one of the 4 months leagues, maybe with other mods too


so we could actually see how it goes

It can't be a 4 month league because then what'll happen when leagues end. Increased drop rates etc would hurt other league's economy dramatically.

well thats not really a problem, obviosly you wouldnt tranfer those items to other kind of leagues.


Also tbh I dont think increased drop rates is really a requirement for self-found league, I think a bigger necessity would be more variety on the gems from quest rewards and maybe some item types to cover basic stats (like all-resist amulets or other usefull stuff)

What would happen to these items? I wouldn't play this league, if they would just delete my char or items after four month.

well for once it could be turned into a permanent league if it goes well :P

else i dunno maybe transfer only the chars and theyr equip and discard inventory and stash ... or make the items dropped there non-tradable ... im sure they could think of smth

There's 60+ pages and I can't really read them all))

Here's my 50 cents.

League like TS wants can be made rather easy, without any technical problems. Just REMOVE common chat (and trade chat of course) absolutely, thus providing party/local chat and all the possibilities like trade window and throwing items on the ground. No possibility to communicate with large groups of people means no traders. And if you do want to trade - you will do this with another "self-found" players as you are. With reasonable prices.

Game must sort people with same levels to the same town's instances, and provide the possibility to chat with all players, which characters are near you. That's all. It totally breaks any trading system and prevents inflation.

Not sure if this was stated before but just disable trade window and implement the "dropping this item will destroy it" window for all zones not just towns. Then, in groups if people want to be nice they can choose not to pick up certain items that may be more class specific. No need to do anything complicated like instanced drops.
