Bump for you.

No trading, No drop transfers, No MF.

Just high drop rates, lots of items/orbs, all-you-can-craft... and be able to play the game like it's meant to be enjoyed. Finally be able to pull off all the builds you've dreamt up.

I guess I see self found differently, but then I'm sure a lot of people in this thread all have slightly different views of what a self found should be.

As you say no trading, but I don't like the idea of high drops and all you can craft. That feels like making everything too easy. Just a slight increase of drops and orbs would be good for me. MF is a balance between drops and survivability so I see no problem keeping that as it is.

I feel that if you want to build a specific build, then the standard trading leagues should be for that.
As I feel in a self found you are surviving on what you find and thus part of the enjoyment (for me anyway) is not knowing what build your current char will end up with as you don't know what you are going to find and there is no guarantee that you will find the gems or weapons to make a specific build.

In the normal leagues almost every single item and unique is available to everyone who can grind the currency from anywhere, but in self found you might never get the items you want for a set build drop. Thus it becomes a case of making the best out of what you find, not just get gem X, weapon Y and armour Z.

This should be the spirit. Self found should be a survival league where every drop counts not simply an easy mode for solo play

+1. This is the way d1/d2 were tuned, and they were big successes. A league for this would be fantastic, and since that's how I pay anyway, I'd definitely join.

Hi

This is a great idea, the people I tend to attempt a trade with are so greedy and over inflated in the belief they got the best items its BS. I tend to never trade and use what I find or craft, and solo all the time so this league would be the place for me.

So to me self found leagues main points:
Increased item/orb drop
No Mf rolls on crafting items except iir/iiq support gems, unique items which would be world drops
No loot allocation timer (drops remain yours in a party, if you want to party)

Be awesome to get a comment on these suggestions from Dev's

cheers

bump! this has a TON of support. come one devs!

Hi Everybody

cheers

D2 = Self found? Did we play the same game?

You could self-find your way through D1 and D2, yes. Maybe not with god gear, but with gear good enough to progress.

Anyway, a bunp. Because I'd totally play the hell out of this.
