Ok so you're basing your argument on number of listings on sc vs HC. Since there are no listings on ssf then I'll have to dismiss your argument based on lack of evidence.


Who needs evidence for this lol, its obvious the most people play on SC Trade. Its the most popular mode. That's just common knowledge.


Some folk need evidence For everything. Even if they take a dump, they invite a group of scholars to verify it and make sure its real. Only then it can be flushed.

Did you know that most players play on HC ssf with one hand tied behind their back? See I can make shit up too.

You said you had numbers, then there were no numbers. Yes it's probable that you're correct, but don't claim things you can't back up. That's all.

I would've asked you but it appears you don't have the qualifications.
I can't find the Reddit thread anymore,
but from memory, on average in PoE 1,
about 80% of players are in SC, 15% in SSF, and 5% in HC.

POE2 ninja site has data feeds from the game I think. You can see the number of characters created in servers. This is characters and not players but gives a rough idea of player distribution.

DotH - 55527
DotH SSH - 7896
DotH HC - 5931
DotHHC SSF - 3707

[...]You said you had numbers, then there were no numbers. Yes it's probable that you're correct, but don't claim things you can't back up. That's all.

You can use the ladders, for example Phrecia (ofc, that's an approximation, only GGG could know 100%, and that's not worth the cost).
I'll use 100's as my metric (because I can, feel free to go do your own stats).

Number of characters that reached level 100 (Phrecia) :

- SC : 14 098 (95%)
- HC : 271 (2%)
- SSF(btw) SC : 299 (2%)
- SSF(btw) HC : 64 (0.5%)

TOTAL : 24 732 (100%)

Each ladder has up to 15k characters, fun facts :

- If you reach level 3 in HC SSF, you jump straight to rank 14 060
- You need level 80 to enter SSF ladder
- HC ladder starts at level 52
- You need to be lvl 99 and 49% to enter SC ladder.



Now PoE2, thanks to ninja, but not sure how they cut their numbers.
I'll choose to measure characters lvl 90 (yes, cuz I can)

Number of characters that reached level 90 (Down of the hunt) :

- SC : 51 303 (91%)
- HC : 1 303 (2%)
- SSF(btw) SC : 3 574 (6%)
- SSF(btw) HC : 346 (1%)

TOTAL : 56 526 (100%)

Fun facts :
- You can enter HC SSF ninja only by creating a character. It starts at level 1 (HC SSF go stonk now, gogogo)
- level 54 is all it takes for SSF ninja ladder
- HC starts at 43.
- lvl 79 and lower are not represented at all on SC ninja.
- 53% of 80+ characters in SC are using Lightning spear.


Damn, wish we had more data, that was more fun than PoE2 itself.

Thank you.

Apologies to the OP for the derailment.
