No that's a self imposed illusion by the community.

Spoiler

GGG never stated anywhere they where aimed or designed for SF players.

Any reasonable person would have dismissed such a notion instantly given how this game functions at it's core.

They help SF players, certainly, but that's a side-product of their implementation and not the targeted goal.

The targeted goal is

1) split up the acquisition of high-end items
(farm a few cards yourself and buy the rest one at a time, which splits up the overall cost for a player)

2) create more availability of the items themselves on the market if desired by the community
(if people demand a high amount of volls devotions, they will naturally flock to farming dried lake instances on mass, creating a higher influx in the economy of this item)
The opposite is equally true, if volls is no longer desired the availability will drop since people will no longer flock to dried lake farming but to an alternate card.

3) provide choices to the player-base in therms of item acquisition
(farming with mf gear? or with a speed iiq build for cards? and which instances would i do this in? what would yield the most profit?)

At least that's how i perceive these cards and there effect on PoE.

Peace,

That's your own self imposed illusion of how they should work, from the mind of a frequent trader. The description for Divination Cards as listed on this very site specifically lists them as a "systematic" way to farm a desired item. You can't defend the current drop rates as anything remotely resembling "systematic", unless you want some Wisdom Scrolls or blue life armor.

As many people have suggested, increase the drop rate and increase the number it takes to turn in proportionately. It will take the same amount of time to accrue the same value of cards whether you're looking to sell them or turn them in, but at least people will feel some incremental progression while doing so.

Also, they need to quit caring about what the drop rates will be with legacy gear in Standard. No one gives a crap about Standard anymore. Nuke it from orbit, just to be sure.

Is it possible to do 75+ maps with high IIR in 7 minutes? Which build do you play? I always thought that my char wasn't that bad, but i dont know if i could do it this fast. Furthermore i have the feeling that iir hasn't got much influence of making currency. yeah i know i just farmed lake, but nevertheless i made always the same amount of currency. yeah with iir i got more yellow items, but compared to non-iir equip the amount of currency was the same because i dropped in killspeed.
Another point would be that i drop in defence when i change to iir equip. dunno how i should play lvl 75+ maps with that gear. Furthermore i only find ~ 1 set for chaos reciep per hour. With IIR 180 the same...Yeah i know its just lake, but shouldnt be the amount of juweller the same just with lower itemlevel?
