This would allow those who want to play classic without:
a) the negative impact of RMT
b) the stress and huge turnoff of permadeath
The more I think about it the more I could see myself playing like this.
PROS: no RMT, leveling and raiding are actually challenging again.
CONS: no auction house or player trading.
This wouldn’t work on PvP servers, they would have to make SF only PvP servers (which would be awesome IMO) but they won’t do it cause the playerbase is already very fractioned.
What do you guys think?
I’ve been tempted to try Self found on the HC servers, but then there is the “death” thing; I am not sure I could cope with my character dying and losing everything. Kudos to those who have the guts playing that game, but I am to soft.
So a PvE Self-found server … I would join it to try out things.
You can impose all the rules you want on the regular realms. Just imagine you had the SF debuff and off you go. The RMT does not affect you if you play under the SF “rule set”
I assume he mean a server ONLY for self found. Otherwise it is meanlingless.
But is it viable to play like that at all? I don’t know.
Imagine you are in a raid and are out of frost potions - you cant just trade your guildies for one, just one simple example.
I play under my own sf ruleset.
I’m currently on a low pop realm. The whole auction house is just a single page of unaffordable stuff. So no auction house.
As a result everything is self found and self crafted. But I do this across multiple characters (and professions), which basically makes me self-sufficient in many aspects.
But if I’m lacking a recipe in a profession, that is a requirement of a recipe in another profession, I’m stuck.
Playing (mostly) in a self-sufficient way feels like a decent, less retrictive middle way to me.
Very few people play SF. Probably not viable to open a realm for a handful of people.
If they simply banned the bots and implemented necessary changes to their overwatch system to combat bot software there would be no need.
If they added solo self found I would not play at all.
Realistically Blizzard does not wish to maintain a functioning anti cheat on a 20 year old client nor deprive themselves of the income bots generate in sub fees. Players also like swiping instead of farming.
If they do not ban bots, it would be better for them to introduce WoW token at a low price and allow things such as GDKP again once again.
