What would happen if the currency rates would become static?

I woudn't say crafting is hard, it's purely RNG. Random is not a concept of difficulty.

Well, crafting isn't hard, but getting good crafted gear is hard.

OK; I understand that getting the rolls you want is difficult because of RNG and that using lots of currency is often required. But the only constraint to success is one's access to and willingness to spend currency.

I don't disagree that crafting top items need to be gated, but I do think that piles of currency is the wrong gate. :)

sounds crap. hang him!!

Spamming X currency on item isn't hard, it's just extremely random. You're saying things like spamming fusings on item to get 6L is hard. It's not - just expensive gambling.

I got an idea and i laughed out loud.

If currency would be static 1exalt = 30chaos.. it would be buff to life! Because people would easier craft top tier life gear :P

hahaha :D

No. You don't understand. Following your example, I haven't said clicking those fusing is hard. Getting 6L is hard, because it needs a lot of fusings, and it's hard to obtain so much. Yes, a lot of time consumed for thing is concept of difficulty. Lamost everything in our life is hard because of time we need to acomplish it.

That is true. The hardest part of crafting is accumulating sufficient quantities of currency that you can use up hundreds or thousands of orbs and not care. Doing that is difficult. So back to one of my earlier questions. Who benefits from that system? You've now gated crafting behind grinding either for currency to trade up or for gear to sell. I think that out of the RNG gating arena, GGG should make the hurdles more challenging and complicated than speed clearing maps. Its not a perfect system at all. Well, for ZiggyD it probably is.

I'm not sure that I play PoE to imitate the challenges of real life. Maybe you do.
