Current State of PoE - Summary

Really nice summary write up and props to you for that.
I would like to address one thing that bothers me personally and see what is your opinion on this. I think the drop rate of orbs should be higher than it is. It is very hard / impossible to craft anything in the current system of the game. The original purpose of orbs was to craft with them, but it is nearly impossible to craft as the droprate of orbs is too low. For instance i have not used a single chaos orb for crafting in Invasion yet, as they are just too worthy for me to waste them as a sacrifice to RNGesus. Also the fact that people who played hundreds of hours and never dropped an exalted orb supports my reasoning. I don't want to have orbs and items raining for no effort, but i don't think it is ok to not find a single exalt after hundreds of hours spent playing the game. If you take into consideration that to craft a really good item, one needs multiple exalted and eternal orbs. I am not going to start about making a 6L in desired colors, but i agree this should stay really hard to achieve.

what a suprisingly quality post! thank you for your effort!

personally i would love to see technical and QoL issues adressed/solved asap instead of pumping out new / changing old content. the game itself and its content is already quite awesome (despite the flaws)

yes.
it's mandatory as chris posts regularily there as well as many ggg devs. i'm a frequent reader of the poe forums but reading troll posts of the same people over and over is tiresome at best, on reddit you find a bit more positive criticism, like the original post which was initially posted on reddit as well.

Thanks for taking the time to post this Dyn. Not sure how much GGG actually takes on from the forums (probably not much), but I got to say I pretty much agree with most your points - especially the QoL ones!

I think you leave it out to the detriment of the post in general. Desynch is one of the only legitimate objective faults with the game, everything else is pretty much subjective & open to opinion.
