Peoples who don't trade will always say that the drop rates aren't good enough. Fact.

Except for all the self-found players who keep shouting 'the drops are fine' like myself?

Ultimately, players from both demographics have mentioned/discussed/whinged about droprates. From where I'm sitting, far more players who participate in trading complain about drops. They trade for great gear that would take a week or two to self-find, then they whinge they dont find their own upgrades :=/

You are one of the rare SF player who doesnt want an improvement of the drop rate. Self-found isn't what is being argued here anyway. I do think you guys should have a league on your own with improved drop rate to compensate for the inhability to trade.

I noticed something, you play standard league only. A lot of the players here are doing the 4 month leagues. We start with nothing again. We are not playing with a years worth of currency and with BIS gear. Why don't you start playing a 4 month league and see how the drop are now, because it is different from last year when starting over with nothing.

Heh. Talk about a totally borked/broken economy. It kind of makes sense now. Not sure how many people actually play standard league but I imagine it would be super easy to snag a nearly free 6L there trading.

How many exalts are 6l out there? On standard the cheapest 6l are around 30-35 exalts (example : 6l carcass jack, 5l voll's protector), at 27 chaos for 1 exalt.

Are 6l that expensive in the 4 months league? Do you guys not trade your smaller currencies for exalts?

If i can get 1 chaos worth of profit per map, im pretty sure thats the same in the 4 months league? Or did they lower the drop rates in there? 1 chaos per map, 10 maps a day, thats 1 exalt every 3 days (and 10 maps a day is what 2-3 hours, not rly hardcore).

I think peoples are just too lazy to vendor their rares/do the chaos/regals recipes. For example, I have bought 100+ exalts just selling alts and chroms in the past 3-4 months.

You don't earn wealth waiting for that 30+ exalt drop. I only found one piece of gear worth this much (A soul taker) in 1 year and a half of playing. But i now own plenty of items worth over 30 exalts. How did i get em? Pickup rares, knowing which ones can be sold, vendoring the others, doing recipes, etc. That's how you get geared, you won't get geared praying to the rng god.

This is going to be really blunt but quite frankly it does not matter what the devs think. There are many players that disagree with them and have quit the game for various reasons. This is something that GGG should be concerned about. If they are not then perhaps they are not suited for the job of developer.

You have an improved trade rate being that you are in the garbage dump heap league - basically no one cares about your league I don't mean this to sound offensive at all so don't take it that way - however how hard would it be to get a 6L trading in your league? Honestly like you said yourself: 10 hours? Max? Have you ever FOUND a 6L or CRAFTED one? No. So really? Perspective.

We ask for improved crafting/drops and you push back but in the same breath enjoy probably the best of all worlds where people think their items are complete trash in your league giving them away for nothing. Am I wrong?

Well that certainly sounds like fun gameplay and I'm sure for you it is. =)

Yeah picking up rares on the ground is too much effort. Let's just whine on the forums and blame the devs for the low drop rates instead, right? Perhaps action rpg isn't the game type for you. How else do you want to earn currency? You have another choice : item flipping (i doubt thats your thing, considering that you consider vendoring items too much work).
