Ah, the rub.
Portals have value based on their scarcity, and as such the items that drop have inherent value as well. Path of Exile mapping is designed around your qualitative judgement of the value of an item, and whether it warrants the use of a portal to retrieve. The screen you've linked is an example of the cost of running an MF build - sure you get a lot of stuff, but then you have to make the judgement on what stuff to salvage. It is actually quite elegant, if you think about it. The only thing that really keeps the playing field even for everyone - yes, you may be able to kill everything in the map in 10 seconds, and have it all drop a bazillion items, but you're limited to bringing out the same amount of items as the poor schlub (like me) who takes 20 minutes to clear the map. Charan, or Scrotie, or Ray or one of the other big brains like that floats around the forums can explain it better than me. I'm just a retired publican, after all. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

" Damn nice! | |

I wouldn't call it nice.
I REALLY want to bring everything out with me, especially on high quantity maps that I invested a tonne of currency into. I mean, hell, I've pretty much paid for everything that has dropped, right? But alas. This is why I get tired of running MF after a while, I get sick of having to make the choices, ID the items etc. Running non-MF is easier, you usually only end up with a couple of inventories worth of loot.

It's quite enough because 99% of the shit you find is GARBAGE.
