Obligatory Poverty League Pan-handler Post

3.27 is a good league. The new league content is approachable and satisfying in most cases (slight adjustment to the annoyance of endless wall-breaking would be welcomed). I appreciate this content. Despite the nature of this post, I AM HAVING FUN playing the game. I DO PLAN to continue playing.

HOWEVER

Being approximately 50 hours into the "endgame" ("juicing" my T16 maps, experimenting with several different strategies, averaging 50-70 completed maps per day for the past couple days). And looking at a pilfering ring cosmetic which indicates that I have picked up a grand total of 241 chaos orbs and TWO (2) divine orbs so far. I have to call it out for what it is. Ground loot return is MISERABLE.

MATH CLASS

Thus far in 3.27 - I have cleared 195 T16 maps after completing my atlas and adopting my "endgame" mentality. That makes for an average of 1.25 chaos orbs per map and 1 DIVINE ORB PER 98(!) MAPS. Admittedly small sample size numbers, but easily the worst it has ever been in terms of ground drops so early in a league.(Subjective opinion): Day one PoE2 had less of an issue with ground loot rates. I'm currently hedging my bets and staying (BARELY) above water by adopting farm strategies which de-emphasize ground loot (think things like stacked deck and T16.5/17 map farming).

IN CONCLUSION

I love this game. I've loved this game for years. It speaks to my love for this game that even when times are as hard as they are currently, I'm STILL HAVING FUN playing the game. But this is my obligatory shameless beggar forum post for a reason. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the dopamine rush into the ground loot for this league. Don't let me go the entire league thirsting this pathetically for the "TING"s. I fear it may be an unfortunately shortened league for myself if such were the case.

Sincerely,
Somewhat disheartened but still utterly-addicted exile.

TL;DR: Pretty please, may I have some more currency GGG?
