This player work around is like mules were in D2.
You proved that optional ploot work around exists and optional ploot does not impact the game. This demonstrates that Blizzard has the freedom to introduce optional ploot officially just like the introduction of the shared stash in D2R.
Thanks again. Adding optional ploot is a simple QoL change just like a shared stash. Both had work arounds and are/will be made official with your critical insights.
