The PoE is for Spork

No sporker here, although I do have a summoner with 29 minions. Equally annoying I suppose.

*raises hand*
I think it's now obvious that mf need rebalance. And I tired of all this trading chat spam. Yes AH is not fun, but using third party web sites and chat to find something is the SAME SHIT as ah.

Don't have one and don't see myself ever having one. I've watched some of the streams and it doesn't look like fun to just sit back and watch some random spark kill for me. Yes, you can get rich, but it's like working at a job that you hate because it pays you well. At the end of the day you can buy yourself anything you want, but while getting the money you're miserable. You play with your toys at night and you're happy, and then wake up in the morning and you're not. I'll sacrifice the riches for a more consistent happy.

I agree with the OP. I'll never knock someone's build. If you like playing a sporker and you're having fun, I high-five you through the internet. My concerns are: I don't want to have to play a per-established build in order to see the higher end maps and end game when it comes out. I was beat down in an ugly way the only two times I tried running a lv66 because my gear is made out of paper...wet paper.

I don't trade, I should not have to trade to get better gear. I've read through some of the trade threads here looking at better gear. I've sat and looked at the trade chat in game and all I could think is: I could be playing, screw this. If you want to trade and you do and you're happy, again five-five. It's hard to craft my own because of poor drops. Let's not even bring up the horrible RNG. I can't play MF because I'm a Melee and I need to survive the higher end levels to FIND the better gear which isn't dropping.

I hope just like the OP that there will be a balance between MF. drops and crafting so the people who don't the time to play, or want to play a pre-established build. That's what I believe the purpose of this thread is. The only way a problem can be fixed is a person has to say what they believe the problem is. Then the other parties have to be open-minded enough to listen and see if the points brought up are valid. Until then I'll keep grinding away because nothing worth having comes easy. When I finally get there, man it's going to feel good because I did it MY way.

i dont have one

but give me a few more days. just did 4 clears of catacombs with my non-mf reave'r (still bugged - this time on stairs) and i got on average 4-5blue items, no rares

sorry but this is complete bullshit compared to no-risk, no-effort mf sporker that gets more uniques than i get rares

odly tho - i simply rain chaos orbs. have ggg tweaked drop rates for some people and see what theyll do? (ill trade them ofc, no reason to craft with this shit given my luck. on avg 30 fusings to 4link an item.. yeah, ill waste chaos orbs with that luck, you bet)

btw it all means nothing. ggg will never nerf sporkers - too many dollars were spent on shavrones. sporkers are too rich to fall :)

I'm new to the game, but I've never liked MF builds in any game. Honestly, I've never had problems with late game ever, I think that MF are for OCD people that simply NEED to play to their limits. I mostly like leveling, whacking mobs with awesome skills and simply having a good time. About trading:

I agree with this guy. I loathe forum trading, or trading chat WTS WTB spammers. As bad as Auction Houses are, they are far better than this bullshit.

It's funny, I've played with a lot of people in this game. A lot of them are insanely wealthy. Yesterday I ran with some of them, and the ONLY things we ran were unique maps of theirs. It was nothing for them to chisel unique maps up to 20%. They popped in and out of group and made over 55 exalts worth of purchases in the two hours I was with them. Not a one of them ran spork. They made their currency in trade. Spork is how a self found player gets moderately wealthy. It won't make you richest on the server by any means, and it won't guarantee any decent drops, either.

The funny thing is, real life works exactly the same way. The guy who sells Iphones makes a lot more money than the guy who physically assembles them by hand.

Oh yeah, Trade >>>>


I met some guys who are UBER RICH, and they don't play that much.

That's what I've been doing too, just a bunch of runs on Catacombs. My MF is at 46% when I can run about 200%. When I run that high though I step across the threshold in Catacombs and I'm a dead ice cube. I haven't been finding any rares but I do have:

Ive never had a mf spork and I would never want to have one.

Nope and never will. I refuse to jump on the spork totem bandwagon. I prefer to play the game rather than drop totems and stand around.

I actually tried dual totem spork. Meh. It is ok I suppose and I imagine that mf wise it is one of the best but I have a lot more fun with other builds. Since Anarchy started I have probably found around 5 exalts. All on non mf characters. And bringer of rain as well. And a lot of other good stuff. MF is overrated.

All you get is a lot of useless rares lol. RNG has a sense of humor especially when you decrease your mf.
