Should they increase the drop rate of orbs? And if so, how much?

This kind of drop rate means GGG just want us to get what we wanted by trading.

I understand that and it is unique. I hate pay to play games I think many of us play this game because you can't just throw real life money at it and be good. Even the lack of in game money is really new and I enjoy it...However actually being able to hunt for what you want or being able to find what you need in order to trade would also be nice. The lack of currency also means a lack of options and lack of options mean complain on forums until thing change/you go find another game to play.

Chisels could also drop more, the recipe is a joke because you're required to dedicate time to gather stuff, it won't drop while you're doing something else. It would be fine if it worked on any tier of stone hammer.

I'm pretty sure it does work on any tier. I know for a fact it works on Gavels because whenever I see one, I scrap it, chance it, and trade it in for a chisel after that brief moment of inevitable disappointment that it didn't become a mjolner. There was a patch a few months ago that said it expanded the chisel recipe.

Had no idea, probably missed that announcement, chisels are fine then.

Ah, chancing gavels and slaughter knives, so hopeless yet hopeful, my favorite sport.

Imho drop rates for exalted should be improved by a lot (like 1000%) so they can be used in "normal" crafting/gambling ; divines and blessed should drop more (500%); jewel and fusings - either they drop a little more or they slighly increase the chanche for 6s/5L and 6L; the other currencies are in a good spot - no idea about eternals/mirrors.

Playing solo and mostly selffound (sold a few things,never bought anything) since Jan 2014,looted 0 ex 0 eternals 1 divine, and never crafted anything more than a 4L...

no bots will always farm more at the same rate than a normaler player! imo they need to increase the rate for endgame uniques that only player who farm high maps farm can find! only eternal orbs should be as rare as a mirror imo

No, I don't think they should increase the drop rate of orbs. Even though I have only found 1 Eternal orb since 2011, I think its fine. Rare stuff should be rare.

Its a game. Games should be fun. Crafting is fun. We should be able to craft. We are not.

I think they should up the droprates of orbs untill we can actually USE the orbs for their purpose, instead of just for trading.
I would say "fuck the economy" but actually the economy will adjust around it. If exalted are 10 times as common, things will cost 10 times as many exalted, and people will have 10 times as many to spend, so it comes down to the same thing. Only difference is, now we would have a CHOICE to use it for trade, or ACTUALLY USE IT on our gear.

Chaos is the main currency so it could drop more I suppose, recipe is all well and good but there isn't really much reason to restrict it on item level, anyone can reach merci docks in a hurry and grind there if he needs cash, it just hurts players that reroll often instead of farming.

This was a changed made in Beta because people were doing 6 client Merveil farming in Normal, still one shotting her with full MF gear, and using it to recipe like 50 chaos an hour.

The level 60 restriction is fine. At least it forces you to have a decent build and gear if you want to do it efficiently via Merciless Dominus farming.

the drop rates on "crafting" orbs stinks in general, but it's fuses that really need to drop more often.

fusing a 5L can easily take 100s of fuses.

a 6L easily over 1000.

I don't care what anybody says, but when you want to run 70+ maps, a 5L is hardly a "luxury".

and yeah- i can buy a cheap ass 5L, but wouldn't it be great if, in that rare occassion, i get a yellow drop with nice stats that i could actually have a chance to 5L it before a 4month league ends ?

i guess they could increase the 5L/6L rates, but really why not increase the drop rate of fuses instead ?

you are still much better off in this game being a good trader rather than a good player, because having GG gear can make up for a substantial lack of skillz.

and that sucks.

yes, i know, you could, theoretically, say that a good trader is a good player, but doesn't that imply that this is a trading simulator and not an ARPG ?

Yeah, I know why they did it back then but I honestly doubt L60 restriction is preventing anybody from farming the stuffing out of the game these days, power creeped up in the meantime and they can't set the restriction higher.
