Ohwell, meme mode became even more meme
Self-Found is a stupid idea unless they make all dungeons and raids solo-only.Are you really self-found if you GDKP a raid?What about buying dungeon runs as 'item boosts'.Mob tagging anyone?Zero thought went into this by blizzard.
SSF is a nice touch for those that wanted the additional ball-and-chain attached to their ankles. No issue with that.Personally I hope they limit the addition to an official 'mode' you can engage with an NPC, like how Ascension provides NPCs that ask you "Do you want to attempt your journey on Nightmare Mode?" and you can opt out of it at any time, though you'd lose your honorary badge of accomplishment for doing so. And if you decide not to engage SSF-Mode, you could play Classic HC with the regular parties, trades and conveniences that would otherwise not be there in SSF-Mode.If it's a permanent attachment to Hardcore in general without any means of opting out, then I suppose this is where I get off (if that is the case). Best of luck to you all!
So this will either split the hardcore community between SF and non-SF realms. Or will reset the hardcore realms to this mode.For people like me that don't like to rush and enjoy the questing on multiple characters it's pointless.This project has gone from "You think you do, but you don't" to "Every whim of a major streamer will be done".It's one thing to listen to the community, and another to just follow every streamer whim. Those streamers don't represent the community. They don't even represent themselves. They only perform a role they think will get them more views / gold /perks.There is too little butter that is being spread over too much bread.Count me out.
