General Discussion - Is this just a gold hunt now? - Forum

Spend 95% of time just farming gold to try and trade for items now... You hit the donkey on the nosey. Like, thanks for the new feature that makes things easier if you do even more rando grinding. Why not add more doors in the game too?	Posted by DoshLord#7955 on Nov 6, 2025, 11:09:22 AM Quote this Post

It's a disservice to your player base. At least in PoE 2, you can trade others for stash tabs of rares to sell. Maybe make an item we can trade for that we can sell directly for gold. I actually like this. If they keep expanding the function of gold in the game I feel like it makes sense to expand the ways you can get gold.

they have. I subjectively feel that gold drops have gone up in general since last league. I am subjectively stating a belief, does anyone have a proven refutation or confirmation? I am flush with gold. and they even added it to heist. what do you want? a bad 6l a bunch of crap and 5 armourer shards or 9k gold? 3 rare belts 2 rings and an amulet or 9k gold?!?!? am i actually wrong? what am i missing?

" IRECKI1988#6462 wrote: Regret orbs exist, stash trading exist, Kingsmarch is optional. So what do you need gold for if not just for your convenience? Game expanded, changed but the core is still there. If anything me personally, I would put paywall entry (like poe 2 beta) and add gold cost to any trade (or whatever you want it be that you need to obtain from playing the game) to smash scammer/bots and hideout flippers. Kingsmarch is not optional. It is core and necessary, because of Recombinator alone. Sure you can choose to not use it, but then you just gimp yourself	Posted by H3rB1985#0551 on Nov 9, 2025, 2:30:00 AM Quote this Post

You might be right but it also seems like it's become the primary functional currency and yet it's the one that can't be traded. It IS almost necessary to make trades to hit the levels of development you'd like to get to and it has no intrinsic value unlike all other forms of currency. It's a feature that I think reduces the game's fun and slowly devalues aspects of the game that I've enjoyed more.	Posted by DoshLord#7955 on Nov 9, 2025, 7:53:27 AM Quote this Post
