No, I do not want to trade my <valueable item> for your mirrored <item>!

Do you really think that anyone accepts your mirrored stuff in a trade? Why the hell would I want a random mirrored 6-link that does have some combination of socket colors that no one will ever need again?

Sorry for the rant, I feel better already.

sounds like either

a) new player that doesn't realize just how bad Mirrored mod is

b) scammer hoping to find new player that doesn't realize just how bad Mirrored mod is

I thought this, too, the first time I received such an offer. But they are getting more common - like every day now. Also, in order to own either a mirrored item or an item worth mirroring basically requires that you left the stage where a) or b) would make a lot of sense.

I think that way too many players simply believe that their 6-link mirrored item really is worth almost as much as the mirror + the fee they paid to get that mirrored copy.

0.0001% of the 1st world, and its problems...

meanwhile back in Wraeclast, this is the best item I've found in a very very long time


what's a Mirror?

In a game where the meta changes as abruptly and often as poe, it's a fairly moronic idea to invest in a 6 socket mirrored item.

But then again, there are people who mirror 4 socket items which is an even worse investment.

It's really a lot of fun to be part of that 0.0001% - you should try it some time.

Yeah i have to agree. Weapons are about the only item investing in having mirrored and even that most likely isn't worth the investment. For the longest time i wanted to get a copy of AXN's Vagan dagger...
Damn good thing that never happened.. I would basically have a piece of garbage not really worth doing much with anymore. And no one else would ever want it either. Lesson learned.. And for once the easy way thank god.

Besides ive played with a couple friends mirrored weapons before to see what they are all about. And they get old pretty quick. IDK i kinda like the challenge of taking a random item i find on the ground and seeing what i can accomplish with it more. Mirrored gear takes all that challenge out completely. Hell most of the mirrored weapons you can litteraly take zero damage nodes on the tree and spec everything into defenses and STILL have more damage than you will ever need to do everything in the game. I kinda want to try and craft something on my own but Crafting in this game is so RNG based i would probably be better off going to the casino instead. But it would be fun to craft something powerful on your own and use it to complete the content. Alot more fulfilling than using mirrored weapons that for sure.

all I'm saying is the people who try to trade you copies-of-super-epic-stuff for your super-epic-stuff, are already part of your social circle.
you won't see me or any of the other peasants in your hideout opening your trade window.

so if you tell the other 5 guys to behave, you won't face this problem anymore.

I have to deal with all kinds of shit: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1809398

Well, a 6L vendors for 1 divine, so you actually get offered 1 divine for your valuable item. Depends on how valuable your item is if this offer is a good one.

Spoiler

the way I see it, there are two ways to get into this exclusive club:

1) be a super-lucky Mirror-dropping, 1-fuse-6-linking, Shavs-from-Hillock bastard with a golden RNG aura shining from my teeth.
then be also good enough in trade, to not go bankrupt and actually increase that initial wealth.

2) kill someone, take his tabs, loot his loot, vaal his vaals for science.

I won't do either, so yeah.

i would say there's another alternative, that is kind of like 1). That is, spend 12 hours a day running maximum efficiency builds with maximum efficiency strategy, trade early and often

some of the maximum efficiency stuff out there tends to bore me or just bother me a lot though. I CANNOT handle Blade Flurry with any more AoE than (0% increase + Concentrated Effect). Anything more than that and I just fly into a RAGE about the fact that it's just a reskin of Arcane Torrent. On a melee attack skill.

Why did they have to make it splashes of fire/water, GGG!?!!!? why not like sword slashes or something???? Make your Melee Attacks at least LOOK melee. GAWD.

but ye playing with max efficiency is often boring
