Nothing drops in this game. Unrewarding to play.

I'm also level 92. Halfway to 93. Best item drop I've got was worth 1.5 ex; a rare helm. Besides that, it'd be Saffell's Frame/Rathpith Globe/Daresso's Defiance (all worth less than an ex).

You want 5+ex items to drop more. Than, because of the increase in supply, demand drops. Some of those 5ex items are now worth 3. So to you, the they re now crap drops.

Your idea of what constitutes a good drop and how to remedy the problem is severely flawed. Which I showed you with my BoR example.

If all items were crap drops, I don't think people would mind.

Gearing up characters shouldn't be a multiple month grind when they only have two weeks of content. I'm pretty sure I have nightmares of Courtyards and Palaces because that's all I ever run.

slayer, i wouldn't call a BoR a crap drop in this league, even now

i rarely, if ever, get a drop that good

you're splitting hairs over the 5ex comment.

what is your point, again?

Welp I'll admit it. You've frustrated me.
You've misunderstood and misrepresented my posts from the very start.

That's exactly why I stopped trying to discuss this with him. Has to be the most obtuse and obnoxious player I've run into in a loooong time. Pointless to have any debate with him at all. Kudos to you for recognizing it.

{brings up my post count and join date. attempts character assassination}

yes, you certainly bring a lot to the table in terms of discussion.

lol.

I'm going off your definition of what constitutes a good drop. Since good is subjective, I can only use the information I'm given.

you have to insert some percentage error or it makes no sense

you could just subtract 1 alteration orb from what i stated, then say "what, THIS isn't a good drop? you said it HAD to be worth more than X! and this is only worth X - 1 alt!"

so basically, you're trolling

a BoR is a decent drop. you know i think this because i'm telling you this. it's not great, but it's a solid drop.

and even items like that, i virtually never find. for all reasonable purposes, they do not drop.

it's not worth much of anything, i don't understand why you keep harping on my gear.

Okay fair enough I'll lay it out for you.
If you have not traded at all to get your gear and you have played 2 months, then your gear is fantastic.
Finding 10-15 exalts worth of gear is a good haul for 2 months of play.

First of all, "playing for 2 months is meaningless." You could play for 15h a day for 2 months and you can play for 2h a day for 2 months. The two are not the same. You have no idea about his actual time commitment.

I run with a bunch of guys in the very high 90s. At any given time our party could have 3 99s. If you want to try to argue that we shouldn't expect to be using good, endgame gear by this point in time, I'd laugh in your face. Most players have no idea how many maps it takes to get to that point.

Just because some people are comfortable running around with level 50 characters with shit gear does not mean the game has no itemization problems. Try to level up a character into the ladder and you'll see plenty of them.

Right now PoE is not a game you can simply enjoy playing from time to time.

It is to me, here how I do it:

Playing one hour top, laughing at desynced death, /oos and shitty drops. I always imagine I'm in a casino and I might hit the jackpot TODAY! Nothing happens, I close the game, wait 4/5 days, repeat.


It's the only mindset I could figure out to not hate the game and I'm fine with it. I've played PoE so much during the last 2 years I ended up seeing only the bad things about the game which is sad because if I played the game so much in the first place it's not because it was a piece of crap :)
Just waiting patiently, lurking around the forums.

Cheers.

so you're saying i should enjoy the game by respecting that it is unenjoyable and nothing drops

and that doing this in smaller doses makes it more tolerable

or am i misunderstanding?

Not at all man, I'm nbdy to tell you how to enjoy the game, I was just sharing (sarcastically) how I managed to play the game without spitting on it ;)

edit: Not that I'm saying you are spitting on the game, I deeply sympathize with players voicing their opinion about some (pretty stupid imo) design choices.
