The game is balanced to be played with trading... Oh excuse me, they said: "we don't balance the game for FFS" instead, but you get the point.
It's surely possible, like beating elder ring with a saxophone... Buuuttt, it totally sucks.
Solo Self-Found (SSF) is a thing in Path of exile and usually creating a standalone version like this requires some modifications to the game anyways for it to even run. For example developers behind Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor patched their game so that it can be played offline and even allows players to access old seasonal content (allows picking season when creating new character).
I finally ditched the early access to play Elden Ring for the first time haha. Realized around the Act III ending that it may not be for me due to the reliance on trading. Feels like I can't earn my gear or get excited from the drops. To each their own, though.
