Solution to d2JSP's impact on the competitive integrity of ladder resets

I don’t mind if someone is “buying” items for more “money” in the beginning of each ladder.
In fact I myself like to capitalize on that, I “sell” what I find early on that I don’t need for more and “buy” stuff I do need for more, which pretty much equalizes everything over time.

If only you could trade your Ohm for a bunch of other runes and use those to buy a bunch of smaller items at low cost.

If only.

((You get 6 Ists for an Ohm on Traderie but only 5.5 on d2jsp. Sad.))

If it’s not a big deal why do so many of its users fight tooth and nail at the mere mention of it?

If only you could trade in a faster more efficient manner, less prone to scams because people have trade histories there for the viewing. Tradarie has these long histories of players not scamming others in their profiles? If it’s a new trade hub I doubt it.

Players still do item swap scams on a regular basis, because let’s face it all the accounts are new. Good luck having a fast and efficient trading environment. When all the accounts are throwaway accounts due to how new a hub is, scamming can be rampant.

I really like the idea of SSF team, or Guild Self Found, or something along those lines.

Maybe something along the lines of Creating a character and immediately be given the option to Create or Join a guild.

When attempting to join one, you have to be approved by the Guild Leader or Officer and then the Character can be accessed and player normally.

Either that, or when creating a character and joining a guild, you are SSF until the application is approved and then you get access to the Guild Stash and games that guildmembers make.

I love that the best defense you have is “well what if you’re too stupid to verify you’re not getting scammed in the trade window”.

what the…
no it’s definitely not , it’s quiet disliked a lot since bots and dupe come from this forum to begin with xD
and as OP said , it does undermine ladder and hardcore quiet a bit.

also , i don’t think d2jsp have 1m D2 player on it period.
so yeah…have fun in your imaginary world with 1M players using it for D2 and only one person dislking it i guess xD

This IS true. Even without d2jsp the average player has no chance of EVER topping the ladder. Ever. In order for them to have a hope you would need to also remove streamers or any sponsored gamer.

Even without d2jsp, ladder “integrity” has been gone for years.

This. Ladder is now pointless.

no, in 2002 or something a bot came
from it

it’s been officially against botting since

no it’s not. it resets the economy so it doesn’t become oversaturated

A 4 month reset is pointless when there are no exclusive runewords or items now.

Cool, 4 months to start over so all my stuff can no go to non-ladder.

Woohoo?

people really think just because they will never be #1 on ladder it’s pointless looool

the main point of ladder is to reset the economy and it has a level tracker.

enjoy the reset so the game feels fresh. stop being envious of the people who play 10+ hours a day. obviously they will be ahead. it’s how life works

bots and every kind of dupe were widely used and shared on that forum.

and they HAD to “officially” be against botting otherwise they would have to be closed, it was pure hypocrisy.
doesn’t mean they truly are though , being “seemingly” against it doesn’t mean being really against it , especially when the owner himself was giving bots etc…

they are mainly just a bunch of guy that don’t want to farm for their own items because “too tedious” , “too hard”
so they just uses gold forum gained from previous botting or their credit card to pay2win without farming…in a farming game…i don’t see the purpose of that but eh , to each their own

ii don’t care much about economy , since i play self loot , but t does break the true reset of ladder and undermine hardcore though.

“Reset economy”

I don’t think you understand how this works looool

How do you keep a game fresh with no exclusive reason to play ladder anymore.

Might as well just roll a non-ladder

No **** d2jsp . Just because you’re some botter that makes profit off d2jsp doesn’t mean people enjoy it.

Plenty of people enjoy it since there are more users using d2jsp than any other site for d2 lol

In fact, we are the minority…by a lot.

It’s more about wasting time trying to trade with those players. Some people value their time more than others.

When your beloved trade hub can’t exactly punish people for misconduct what’s to stop all the misconduct exactly which can waste time even if you see the scam coming?

It’s also the same reason I don’t bother negotiating with players who want something for nothing in the majority of trade games. It’s a massive time sink that isn’t productive. There’s more productive trading going on via forums, and to a further extent forums with a history of tracked trades that lead to verifiably trusted players.

because the economy resets, no one has end game gear anymore, everyone starts at level one???

it’s not that hard to grasp lol

Bro…

I’m going to have enigma within a week. Same as every ladder reset since 2004 ish when this game was solved.

Without the “ladder specific runewords” there is no point.

If ladder is me going 7 days without my gear…then I guess that’s …uhh fun? So…7 days no loot and then 4 months later it gets merged with my pile.

Fun stuff.

  • economy “reset” where I have to spend 1 day to level instead of getting rushed. Then I’ll have everything by day 7

  • no ladder specific items

  • will never be first to 99 cuz I’m not a streamer or pro gamer.

Am I missing anything? What’s the point again?
