Endgame drops are ridiculously fucked up!

I miss some form of loot table connected to rares. Sort of like they did with the new base items; letting them drop in specific maps. I want them to expand on this, making certain bosses drop certain base items rolled with one guaranteed T1 mod. The item may be magic or unique.

Warbands have special loot table connected to magic items
Some bosses have special loot tables connected to unique items
Some maps/areas have loot tables to implicit mods

I want them to expand on this. Bosses with loot table connected to suffixes and affixes.

Targeted farming FTW

I theory you can already do it but in practice it only works for traders. If you are a guy that is simply playing the game no matter how perfect your char is equiped (even at lvl.100 with all mirrored gear) you will never be able to do that targeted farming on the high end bosses. Killing uber atziri or the shaper every now and then can hardly be called "farming" and without trading it take ages to get a few uber or shaper sets. Right now the vast majority of players that have reached the endgame are stuck at about t10-t11 so every high tier unique that would drop a great item would be NOT farmable at all unless you become a trader!

More epic loot adventure, at least for 1 day?

1 good Imbued Wand every 3 maps. I play a lot of maps. I would get a very good phys wand, a very good ele wand, a very good caster wand on day 1. Same for every base item I want. Gear chase over, game finished? Game like this exists only because of the gear (+xp) chase. Remove the chase, and you remove the reason to play the game at all.

Think of the unique items for example, buffing the droprates of good uniques by an insane amount didn't make it into an epic loot adventure, it simply killed the value of items and removed any excitement from dropping them. Dropped a Coil today? Nice, it really is a very good item. Now go vendor it.

this is a common misconception even GGG is under! (ffs. is this even right?)

people who do nothing else but playing the game have their desired gear by the end of week 1!
through TRADING! the item hunt takes place exclusively on poe.trade because you never know if you drop the unique/item you need.
do they stop playing after they are fully equipped? ofc not!

the problem is that only people who play enough to afford the items can play this builds. and GGG actively promotes this by making only a handfull of gems/uniques OP as fuck so everybody wants them.

why not have several OP gems/uniques so the player can actually chose what build to play?

don't get me wrong. with certain builds/skills you can advance deep into endgame even SSF! you still need to invest a LOT of time though and you can't kill uber atziri and most likely not even shaper.

this all has not much to do with hardcore or skill but a lot with time invested so you can buy your OP items and one-shot the bosses before they can target you!
