SSF league needs rebalancing

hello,

SSF league has different values for currency items, compared to standard league, and this should be addressed, either by rebalancing drop rates, or by adding new features to the game for SSF players.

for example, an exalted orb in standard league could be traded for that one piece of unique equipment that you need to complete your build. and if you don't have an exalted orb, you could exchange a single rare item or a handful of random currency items at camp to get one.

but SSF league players need to find each and every exalted orb from random loot, and it might end up to be worth an "increased light radius" affix that makes you scrap the item for a regal shard at the next merchant.

this is clearly unfair.

the whole point of SSF league is to feel pride in the equipment you find along your adventure. but if it's just as hard as standard league, yet standard league players end up with far better equipment, then SSF league ends up feeling like a handicap instead.

perhaps you could add a merchant to SSF league who lets you exchange currency items at a fixed exchange rate. or perhaps you could increase drop rates of exalted orbs for SSF players, and keep the game balanced by prohibiting them from moving SSF characters into the standard league. or perhaps you could make enemies a bit less tanky in SSF league, since SSF league characters tend to end up with worse equipment.

i'm sure there's something you could do to make the game feel better for SSF league players, because i've just taken my first character to act 3 and draining an enemy's health bar is such a tedious process that i keep putting down the game in frustration. i have about 75% total bonus to "rarity of equpment found", and i collect EVERY item for trading to vendors, yet i still feel underpowered when whittling away at massive enemy health bars (even mobs, not just bosses).

please fix the loot balancing for SSF league, to make the game more fun and fair for people who don't want to buy their way to victory.

thanks.
