Can we have a Beginners SSF mode option?

I hope that one day GGG would provide many of the new, less experienced players an option to have a Beginners SSF option that would slightly increase players overall damage and defense while providing a much higher drop rate with no option of online trade. It would be a true solo offline experience for certain newcomers that might find it too difficult on normal play. I hope no one would object to the idea as it would help keep people playing instead of having people to get frustrated and quickly leave the game. I myself would welcome the option and would certainly play it.

Any opinions on this?

Im not sure, but I think SSF has already slightly better drops.

One thing as example:
If youve found the 5-digit gambling legendary box,
in SSF it costs 200/2.000/20.000/200.000 gold
while in TRADE its cost 2.000/20.000/200.000/2.000.000 gold

10 times higher.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?

I've been hoping for something like this for almost 10 years :)

SSF4N should be just that.. Solo-Self-Found-4-Noobs! per solo experience.. the game caters to us.. way better drops, more currency for crafting and NO Death Penalty.. Well now they have gold in POE2.. they can do like Diablo.. repair your gear etc.. and the character cannot leave SSF! like ever.. I never play Standard.. and I HATE trading..am totally fine with that..

Sorry but I doubt that they would do anything like that. They already struggle with a single balace system (trade/ssf/hc have the same balacing currently). I cant imagine them creating a league with different settings and and a different balacing. It is not much “GGG-like”.

You see, I’m not against the idea. Just saying that it wont happen. It would just be more trouble for them without much monetary gain.
Great idea! Beginner SSF mode could boost retention and accessibility.

SSF does not have better drops.
We are not getting a "beginner" mode.
And we are not getting an offline mode.
~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.
I want a beginner's HC mode option with at least 3 lives. Even Mario has 3 lives. why do we only have 1?
You know, it's kinda weird they don't just make private leagues with positive modifiers available. It's kinda leaving money on the table...
I truly believe that if this was offered, I would guess that a good 75% of the fanbase would be on that mode. It really would be a no brainer and would boost reviews up and reinvigorate sales more imo. It would make a lot of people happy =)

I've only played SSF in PoE2. I would never play this suggested mode.

Additionally, if you mean 75% of the fanbase which includes trade, no way. There are way too many players who are addicted to just brainlessly farming currency so they can then just buy their desired item from trade.
