hahahah i like your PPWDTBEFIO term.

i would point out that some people do want it and if not mistaken streamers did make a custom league with this as part of the mechanic.

in a way its a "self contained SSF-ish" party.

i think the best way to implement this is "GOPOE", guild only POE. guilds in this mode are separate from the rest of the game. you can trade and party with people ONLY if you're from the same guild.

if for any reason you get kicked out of the guild, your entire stash/items/characters are VOIDED.

Sounds interesting. But if I had to choose between guild realms and simple "tradeless" (rather than that huge mix of letters the other guy proposed), I'd go for tradeless.

I'm confused. SSF is there for streamers. Nothing more, nothing less. There is nothing stopping you from making a character in trade and gasp, not trading. I'll never understand why people think devs need to make game modes with specific rulesets when they can just do it themselves.

Go buy yourself a Hillock carry and some divs, adults are trying to speak here.

Lol. That's another aspect of "standard" that I dislike. But still... you're not speaking anything are you? What's up with the attitude?

lol, i've actually pointed out several times, SSF mode exists only to validate an SSFers claim that they actually SSF'd. its just a badge of honour.

and yet people still claim to "not understand". even by saying its a badge of honour its not enough.

I believe this "not understanding" comes from people not sharing your view that playing SSF is a "badge of honour". Maybe you've seen some people arguing that back when... But i'd still argue this is NOT the reason MOST people play SSF, since this "badge of honour" reason does NOT make much sense.

why i say SSF enjoyers want SSF mode as a badge of honour is simple.

you CAN play "ssf" in a regular league WITHOUT an SSF tag. all you need to do is just not trade and not party.

in reality anyone can do this since poe first released.

can you play SSF without an SSF tag? answer that question. but i feel lazy to wait for your response. any person with basic common sense can understand that you can indeed play SSF in any game even MMORPGs like WOW or FF14 without needing to enable SSF mode.

you NEED the SSF tag to validate yourself because otherwise you have no proof that you played SSF.

let me ask you instead. if SSF mode did not exist in POE, would you have posted feedback to ask for it?

hmmm tradeless with party seems fine. i think the simplest way to implement this is to make 2 separate checkmarks at character creation

1. Solo only
2. Trade Disabled

this should give players enough options to play how they like.

Simple solution: Get a guild stash and close trade channels.
I am playing POE2 with a friend this way. I don't bother trading with farmers anymore, and give no restraint to my friend's play style.

spoken like a true gamer.

you dont need the devs to make a special/game mode just for you. you just follow your self imposed rules and life moves on

The hilarious part is how many call this a badge of honor when GGG has said repeatedly that most players do not trade and have no intention of it. The people constantly using the trade system are the oddity. The people trading are doing it for a badge of honor I guess since it serves no point and breaks dynamics of the game play. But hey, shoot for the moon I guess. You do you

Running across random people in D2 and joining forces was great. if you didn't like their play, you could always instance out. Didn't realize how much I missed it until I noticed it in Destiny 2.

On the other hand, I hate seeing people in my town. They only get in the way.

the ones calling it a badge of honour are "non ssf players" like myself.

ssf mode has no reason to exist if players just stick to their self imposed rules, which makes ssf mode a badge of honor/allows bragging rights.

and yeah if you like ssf play ssf. despite being one of those who were against the creation of SSF mode i m happy that players now have that option
