There are still a lot more arguments to keep playing Sp such as:

1) You can take your time playing the game instead of rushing to 120 only to show everyone your big internet balls on the ladder.
2) No lagg
3) better droprate in general

So in short: SP is for casual players, which I am.

Cheating methods in SP have nothing to do with the PlugY, if this tool might simplify some routines doesn't mean it was the purpose, d2 itself gives you the ability to dupe because of the LAN game feature. I have nothing to prove to anyone related with this mod, that's some strange assumption.

Where did I said that the absence of PlugY for the Sigma makes me sad or I'm mad at the devs because of that? I know it's not a priority and I have absolutely nothing against it. Seems like you haven't addressed any of my points and just started a new rant, I never asked for this and I have no idea what to answer to a such unexpected response from you.

And please, don't tell me about the modding and PlugY, you've chosen the wrong person for that matter: I know exactly how PlugY works and I literally revised every part of its code related with the multi page stash feature.

Until someone releases the mod which enables it back :lel:

My point was that if you want to get the Sam items to drop, because you're "doing it legitimately on single player so why am I being punished", then come do it on Realm. More aimed at OP than at you tbh.

Considering how broken this items are, I don't see the point why they should ever exists (at least with the current stats). Their presence is somewhat justified on realm taking into account the entrance fee, geared up char(s) and the knowledge how to deal with Samael. For me it looks more like a classic P2W loot box, and I don't think I need such stuff in a single player. I might modify the stats or create a brand new OP item at this point and that's definitely not what I'm willing to do, I prefer to play the intended way.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the support of single player. A lot of people simply don't have the time to keep up with changing seasons and want to retain characters endlessly. Nothing wrong with that. Many others probably also jus thave intolerable connections to the servers, which makes TSW play incredibly frustrating. I get it.

I was just poking fun in a topic that seemed like it was getting aggressive. I'd still prefer more people joined TSW, but I understand the issues.

This looks to be about some SP dude whining about how he cant dupe and shit on Realm. If you cant play the game without hacking, why play it?

Ehm no not realy. It was an example of what you CAN do on SP. my biggest complain is that there is a big gap in gaming experience from Realm to SP. Loads of items are gone, quests, ubers. It's like the game is unfinished just beacuse u dont have internet.. Sad actually
