Just wanted to give you guys and gals a heads up why I chose to forgo buying an supporter pack this go around.

First I love the game and play daily anywhere from 2-4 hours and quite frequently more. However I decided to hold off on purchasing a pack this time till after i played for a bit as I wasn't at all happy with the way things unfolded over the last couple of leagues.

Anyways back on point the ancient reliqueary keys are just bad. I have seen 3-4 of them this entire league and 3 of the items that I got from them are WORSE than the current 1c version in the game, This just isn't right its demotivating and frankly feels quite punishing. Im not expecting them to rain from the sky and be all 1000 facebreakers or 1k hp kaoms but to get a totally useless inferior item just feels bad.

Now before all the trolls jump all over me and say I want things handed to me and GIT GUD at the game please keep your childish comments to yourself. This is meant strictly as a consumer explaining why they chose not to buy a product at this time. I know that as a successful business owner I value constructive feedback from my customer base.

I would love to continue to support this game as I do play it and enjoy it so please stop having these barbs that just upset customers. Keep the game hard and challenging but RNG and hand slaps aren't the way to go. Just my proverbial 2 cents.



TLDR ?

MY personal reasons for choosing not to drop another $50-60 for this cycle as I am not happy with how stuff was implemented.


to be honest, initially i also had illusions of ggg planning to easen standard league's price inflation of old op uniques.

but retrospectively it was kind of obvious that chris' question of either make the outcome of reliquary keys unrewarding or nerf their drop rates to oblivion, would result in them making it both.

is it a reason not to support? i mean, was poe ever differently?

before ggg can ever be rewarding, ggg needs to say goodbye to their ideologic concept of not having anything account bound. it's the same failure as capitalists seeing a totaly free market as the solution of all problems as it would have the same outcome: some guys having nothing and one guy having a full tab of reliquary keys which result in totally op item stashes. and the disadvantaged going off to play other games after complaining in the forums about the "non rewarding game".

Standard is simply nothing they care about they maintain it but don't seem to base design ideas around it. Legacy Items are just something they never really gave a damn about. They exist mostly because of how easy it was to change items and not care about legacy items. Not creating them would have meant extra effort, not much in the beginning but a lot later on, so they just ignore the issues those items might create and honestly for standard it doesn't really matter. Because Standard has a lot of other issues without legacy items.

So overall those things in deed never changed. And honestly they could just have dropped the relic items from the legacy league and it would still be good, the league didn't needed those keys, they are just there for nostalgic reasons, not to make players a profit, they are not aligned in any risk/reward metric and entirely random, so the issue of them is not so much that they drop crap items, the issue with those keys is that they can drop incredible powerful items. Before even reaching Merciless we found one key and got a Legacy Taste of Hate, a Legacy Moonsorrow and a Legacy Eye of Chayula, and while those two items are crap the Taste of Hate wasn't and that is more of an issue than the two other items are, because there was no risk involved in getting it, we basically dropped a bunch of exiles for doing nothing special. And while this can happen with drops all the time you usually have more influence over what is happening by choosing which areas you do and how much quantity you put on your maps. But reliquary keys can drop everywhere and then they can drop basically all items. So doing high areas isn't even that profitable.
I've decided to reverse my contributions to the game so that I only contribute when I get something good.

It's saved me ALOT of money.


Guess I am not Hardcore enough for all the UBER players around here.

YOU WILL GET TOTAL SHIT DROPS AND WHEN YOU FINALLY GET A KEY TO DROP IT WILL DROP WORSE THAN SHIT.
AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm Generally speaking Businesses do care what their clients are thinking, in fact quite a few companies spend LOTS of money doing something called market research to glean just this type of information but you are obviously just here for the troll post.
I am also probably done supporting them. I am tired of chasing after the GGG items. Not because they don't drop like candy (idk where the hell playing for 50+ hours is dropping like candy, but people seem to think that), but because when I finally DO get them, they are decidedly too strong.

I spent over a month of hard farming to get my legacy Mjolner right before they went legacy. HAH. Look at my less than 1c unique now!

Farmed up a couple of consuming darks... yeah....

Look at my Voltaxic that I bought... oh.... wait....

My cospri's? oops.

WELL... at least I didn't spend literally hundreds of hours to get these builds to work...? Oh wait, I did. I just lost hundreds of hours of my life to get pretty pixels that don't even do what I spent so much time to get them to do.

So yeah. Not really supporting anymore. I used to drop quite a chunk of change, if the meta is just pick up the next flameblast totem build to farm endgame on as much budget as possible, why give them money? The cool shiny stuff is stupidly rare, and when the "casual" player that drops in a hundred hours of work in a league gets the Freaking carrot, he finds out that the carrot is being removed from the game next patch.

It got old. I can't even really bring myself to log in most days, but I dumped so much money into the game I keep trying to come back and check stuff out. All I see is a pile of broken garbage sitting in my stash tabs. And for everyone that tries to say that it still MOSTLY works or some such BS... I spent over 1,000 hours to get some of that garbage that is now worse than a 30c budget flameblast build. So yeah. I am sick of my toys being broken and I am sick of giving them money. GG.
I guess I will have to buy a one way ticket to hell with your lives
