I know the feeling, I lashed out at some poor guy because I mistook the reply to something going on in another thread, and the names looked similar. I quickly changed it, but I felt bad.

What prevents you from duping Solo? It would still work essentially…
why do people insist on using such idiotic terms like “solo self found” when you can just call it “hardcore”
this has to be the dumbest coined expression since “app”, “literally” (used incorectly), “soulslike” or any of the other dumb nonsense people use these days pretending they’re conversing like civilized human beings
Because they are literally two entirely different things.
Hardcore means permanent death.
SSF means you cannot group or trade with other players.

There is hardcore SSF, it’s really fun too
Thats not reality at all.
I’m a fan of implementing whatever reasonable measures it takes to put a gigantic dent into the RMT / sweatshop farming underworld
Really Carries and powerleveling is one of the biggest issues I bet you can’t even give me one reason why it is even a small problem let alone a major one
There is a SSF mode already in the game. It’s activated by just not trading and grouping with others. Why do they need to waste development time on something you can easily do yourself?
Last Epoch has a circle of fortune guild you can join for SSF, its a lot of fun too
Trading ruins so many games

Agreed, it’s weird, I play solo and ignore everyone. Lo and behold, I am unbothered by any of this stuff. 
All my Alts are already in SSF mode, I don’t trade items for them and I never compare their damage with others on Youtube. I just play the best out of the class.
Nah. You’d get complaints Day 1 about people going against the mini blood maiden in Helltides and not being able to kill her solo. Or world bosses.
All of the so-called SSF players use those two to gear up easily, not realizing they wouldn’t be available in SSF or simply too difficult to slay completely solo.
Then of course, you have Dark Citadel now, and the ensuring complaints about “b…bu… but! I’m locked and can’t get muh cosmetics!”.
Realistically, I agree with you. Nothing stopping people from being mostly SSF now. However, most SSF mode proponents then argue “increase the drop rates for SSF” which at that point - why bother? You take up SSF as a badge/challenge, then want to lower that challenge. It’s all a big circle fest.
Oh that’s my point though, they would never make it true SSF in an open world game. It can happen in games like D2 and D3, but it would never be plausible in D4 because of how the game works. They would have to completely rework the game and devote separate servers for it. That’s never happening. So at most all they would ever do is prevent people from trading.
% - I want SSF, but I want this buff, and that buff, and you gotta make sure I get more exp, and I need free items, etc. Give’em an inch they’ll take a mile.
13 minutes until I can heart people again, I demand a refund.

I play SSF right now, what do you mean OP?
You obviouly are not a SSF player. I have soloed BloodMaiden many times while leveling, especially later in the season when few are playing in low difficulty levels. In past have also soloed Legions and WB for same reason. This season WB became more difficult solo because of the changes they made with resiliance.
But yes these are great sources of gear while leveling.
Not true. What we want is greater access to gold not available unless you trade, less cost for Bosses to make it equal to group rotas.
If duping was fixed and the ability to buy 3&4GA gear dried up the whole community would ask for higher drop rates not just SSF players.

So does restricted trading, but…better. Your agenda is clear, but don’t make me play the game your way, because that’ll FOR SURE kill the game dead.
I don’t think so, these are just your issues, don’t impose your problems on me.
As a solo player basically since drop of the game (I WAS in a guild with other players for a couple months, but didn’t work out); I have no idea how you think that solves the games problems?
Drops, xp gain for character AND glyphs, rubber banding, high latency… the list goes on… and you think SSF would fix any of that?
SSF would basically just be no trading, no grouping. unless its super simple and a trade vs no trade thing
