The Self Found LADDER..The "middleway"

Cheers Exiles,
Yes I know , there are a lots of threads regarding sfl..This is another one but with a twist.
Instead of having a standalone sf league (wich GGG clearly stated they wont implement)
Why not have an option at character creation within existing league/s - "check box "SF" - meaning trading and grouping disabled.
*Droprate=exactly the same
*Possibility to "uncheck" SF if player feels that he hits a "wall", (Cant go back to SF offcause)
*A seperate ladder for SF
*A SF channel......(So I actually dont have to turn it off..)
*Shared stash for your SF chars in the League
*Would be nice with special challanges tailored for solo players
*Instead of adjusted droprates . why not a playerX option (intresting HC Dom...)who dares..?

Pros:
*All players who want to play solo,without trading now have a "fair" ladder
*Will bring back a lot of players (imho)
*Will attract new players
*Will prevent solo players(or players who dislikes a tradingsim.) to quit when they feel they cant advance any further.
*GGG will profit from it (Why not charge the option to create SF chars with a few $ ? ) I would invest a few for the option...

Cons
*Time/work to implement this ? (I have no idea)But I cant imagine that it would be very complicated if droprate remains the same and no new league needs to be created)
*Maybe the time to make more "sub-headings?) in the forum. (hmm not certain about "sub-headings,English is not my native language/sry)
*nah..cant find any more tbh..

Well ,
I do love the game! I will continue playing regardless of SFL.
But , I would play more , and probably visit the pub less-which might lead to a better,healthier,longer life!! -Thanks GGG!!

Cheers Peeps!
Brgds ,

Edited:
Why not have an option to flag yourself as PVP and join other SFPlayers instances ..trade HCway..(I can see an exploit poss. here though..) But ok , guys who want to loose their char. providing stuff for alt/friend..ok..(Only HC ofc)

Well ,
I think its the best idea since this:
Dungeon Map drop(Posted 26 Aug 2011)

Dungeon Map drop

Would be a nice addition imho.
Very rare drop.(or scaled depending of difficult lv , green , yellow and purple (which should be extreme hard)
Get access to a private dungeon , can be designed for 1 p or party.
Dungeon lost if wipe..
Can also be linked to an achievement.
For example : if you manage to complete X no yellow or green ones = nice reward/title (Dungeon master or something similar)
If completing X no purple an ever better reward.
Even the easier ones (green in my example) should be very rare and the higher ones even more to create that "wow" feeling when they drop.
Just an idea , now back to eyeball that timer..
Good luck folks!

I would definitely play more if there was a SF league. Great idea. :)

great idea #2

Hi

That idea been suggested before. What all of us that think SFL deserves a shot should do is to suggest to GGG that the next League event after domination and nemesis should be a SFL 4 month league to ''test the waters''. This league would promote specialized crafting through new recipes and orbs at vendor so players could actually craft instead of BS one armed banditry. Every time I read in forums someone typing ''I crafted this'' I laugh, they didn't craft shit, they got lucky on a roll.

SFL has been suggested since CB its not like a new idea or anything. I just see 2 very divergent playing styles, those that trade and those that don't want to trade but ''craft''.

cheers

I currently play self found as I despise trading in this game, but I also like to group as well (friends, ect). Wonder if there would be a way where you could have a self found check box but still be able to group? Maybe have items a player drop fall under permanent allocation (yes it would be a code change from what it is now).

I predict that this will be implemented in some form,when? I have no idea.
I know that GGG have plans for a possibility to start private leagues (for som $$) ofc.
They have had some week long solo races , next time it might be a month or more.(Hard to be competative if you work 10H/day-6 days/week in a week long race....
Selffound with party=possible , personally I would want a limit,2-3 max.
GGG could even have a "small" trading option going in a sfl, X trades a week/month..(item-item)
