Another "give me free loot" thread? Seriously?	Posted by Faendris on Apr 23, 2014, 5:21:51 AM Quote this Post

Just a small difference. Would gladly pay for a box if it meant no more bleeding nerfs, decent xp and decent drops. With all the delaying tactics garotted. It would actually be a game again. Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs. We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.	Posted by Hyskoa on Apr 23, 2014, 6:22:13 AM Quote this Post
I hate these threads but I'll add that I think the drops you get at 100% IIR should be the default drops. That is just my thoughts on it though from experience. If you run with less than 100%, it is a fairly horrid experience, drop wise.

"If PoE increased droprates, people would instantly leave the game" In my case increased drop rates wouldn't make me start playing again right now. The problem with loot in POE isn't the drop rate,it's that potential usefull loot has so high a chance of being rendered useless and turned into vendor trash. At least that's my opinion,others opnion may differ. =) Last edited by Temper on Apr 23, 2014, 7:21:21 AM	Posted by Temper on Apr 23, 2014, 7:20:54 AM Quote this Post
Much like D3 1.0, drop rates are fine. It's the itemization. No. Calm down. Learn to enjoy losing.	Posted by b15h09 on Apr 23, 2014, 7:41:44 AM Quote this Post
I am unhappy with the drop rate. Ambush is barely up and running, and already I have two decked out level 90 chars (one with Windripper and a 6L Volls). It is still too easy to make serious currency in this game (and I have the trade channel turned off permanently). Would love to see a "Poverty League" next cycle, where making money would actually be hard.

That makes you a spectator in parties where everyone has way way better stuff than you have. Also not fun. I have this problem in Standard where my gear is in the top 1%, but not in the top .1% and am left just watching people with mirrored weapons and jewelry and Uber-Atziri gloves kill everything. Poverty with level playing field would work better for me.
