As a casual user who refuses to get on the daily F2P "treadmill' or the trading economy (I just want to play it like Diablo) is it still worth playing?
... Also is Last Epoch good now?
You can easily get through PoE1's main campaign without paying a dime
Someone also posted a video of them essentially getting through the "midgame" of path of exile in 24 hours without paying as well https://youtu.be/JeIDCxQhZM4
However, during that midgame he shows that he really starts having trouble with the lack of stash tabs for trading. It's doable, but that's kind of where you start hitting your limits
All in all, if you play for the main campaign it's essentially just a free game, and if you play without trading the game is still designed to be somewhat doable. Really the only thing you miss out on is trading
But Solo Self Found is quite popular and surely that's entirely without trading?
Or are you also talking about Vendor trading/crafting like the Chaos recipe?
Yeah if you play ssf you sidestep these problems entirely and then the only problem you might have is simply just inventory management (which also only comes up in the lategame)
