They can do the fake progression route all they want by hunkering at the entrance. I would love to see who can play without RMT sites and cowering in a doorway lol!
Basically nothing can be traded. No buying RMT. Its basically solo but you can do group content. The exp you get is yours. No hunkering in a doorway or being carried! No porting do boss after someone else clears it for you etc LOL!
See I think running in a group at all is BS, except for activities where you don’t get a choice like WB or legions. Someone will always have a stricter definition. You can still be carried in a group even if you’re actively participating. Can you run the same level of Pit solo that you do in a 4-man group, in roughly the same time? If not, you’re being carried by group play. If they do SSF, it needs to be no grouping and no trade, at all. Isolated, imo, sans the aforementioned open world events where you can’t control who is in the vicinity.
That’s a bit too stringent. There’s no reason to not allow groups, trading limited to ONLY party members, and only for items that dropped while grouped.
The game is basically already ssf. We can play ssf and run out of stuff to do in a few days. Hit t4, 1 shot bosses, can’t die etc. Trading is just a fun extra thing to do once there is nothing left. See how many times you can hit gold cap per week challenge.
Tho i grp with people for lair bosses & horde… because efficiancy.
I think the diablo trade website is too much of a hazzle to bother with so i tend to only trade like 1 or a few items per season just so i can afford all the masterworking & enchanting.
I’m already playing SSF, I just don’t trade (or group) & I only use what I craft or find. I mean do you need them to put it in the Settings so you feel better about it?
