I play almost two years and never even saw mirror drop

450 hours in steam and 600h+ on standalone client.

I've found 0 mirrors, 0 eternals, 15ish exalts, 5 divines, tens of gcps, 1k+ chaoses. ~10 5-links, 0 6-links.

About 1500 orb of chances used on occultists vestments and glorious plates without unique.

And what comes to 2ex+ uniques I've found 1 soul taker.

I've played mostly with heavy MF so I've been funding my characters through the chaos recipe.

Been playing for two years .... and I play a LOT over these years.

I have not seen a single mirror drop, ever.

I have not had a eternal ever drop for me, only seen 1-2 drop (for other people).

I have never seen a 6 link drop.

Dude. Learn to give up. The average mirror drop play time when calculated exceeds the average lifespan of a human being. You will not see a mirror drop even after you die, unless you get to continue playing POE in heaven.

The point is exactly create imbalance in the game so that everyone s fortune turns out differently and we all have different character developments in this game. Imagine how boring things would be if every one has a mirror each.

 You're right. If 100,000 players each played 100 hours and 100 mirrors dropped, then from the 10,000,000 total hours played that comes to .00001 drops per hour or a .001% chance of any individual player getting a mirror drop. So my odds are 1 in 1000 that I'll ever get lucky and get a mirror to drop. If I play 25 hours a week or 1300 hours per year and use my crude math then I should average 1 mirror per year. Of course RNG will make the time required very widely and of course I have no way of knowing what the total number of mirrors that have dropped in 10 million hours of collective game time played so I'm probably way off by a factor of at least 10 so I would need to play 10,000 hours to have any chance that a mirror will drop for me. I also think I know that the odds are even lower as the way I understand that it works is that first there are the RNG formulas that determine if you are even going to get a chance to have the mirror RNG formula run to see it that is going to drop. Probably has to do with the total % rarity increase. So I could be off another 10 or 100 so my chance of ever getting a mirror to drop is more likely in the 100,000 to 1,000,000 hours played by me and hence I will never ever get a mirror to drop. Obviously GGG has to always balance PoE and make sure that too many don't drop as too many is just a bad as too few but PoE and GGG are a huge failure in the loot department side for most and why out of the many millions that have tried PoE in the last couple of years only a small % are still here.

 My PoE playing time will significantly drop in 2015 as I'm burned out by the promise of great loot but in my just over 2 years of playing I only have a meager stash of uniques, chaos, exalts, etc. to show for my time spent. I don't do the commodity flipping to increase my PoE wealth as that is of zero interest to me (that's my personal choice) but compared to most other arpgs the time/wealth factor is very low here (the original D3 was abysmal too). Of course the hardcore arpg pundits will always argue that this is what makes for a great hardcore arpg and GGG must agree with that philosophy otherwise we'd have a better time/quality loot ratio and more daily players. It is entirely within GGG's domain to bite the hand that feeds them.

write how many years you have played lottery and how much moneyz you have won

exactly, same applies to your initial post. mirror is so rare barely anyone sees it drop, let alone gets a drop him/herself

Never seen a Mirror or a 6 link drop.

Managed to pull of a 5 link from a 6 socketed staff once a couple of years back.

Highest unique drop is a Alpha's Howl and a Searing Touch (after 2 days of old school merveil farm)

This game is called Path of Trading for a reason.

You must be Manocean to get something in this game... I'm sure he is GGG guy or something :D, promoting the game and getting some cool stuff so ppl that are following him can see that it is actually possible but it is obviously not... you can check his videos and see it for yourself (free commercial lol)

broken RNG or GGGman?

I'm playing this game from the beginning and never seen anything useful , same as most of you

been playing poe since march 2014

saw 1 eternal drop in my map but belonged to somebody else, 3 divines, 15 ex, 1 6link chest drop

5 linked 2 items within 10 fus, first was 3 fus on 6s clock of defiance, second was 7 fus on 6s soliars lorica.

no mirror, no any T1 uniques, never chanced a unique, never 6link any item

joined in the middle of closed beta, no mirror, eternal or 6 link dropped since.
managed to 6 link a low level 2h axe by accident shortly after release.

have to say that i play casually (2-4h /day) since i played some time on alpha servers due to a busy real life.

6-7 exalts 1 eternal 2 divine. lots of chaos, just 6L an item this league w/ 70 fuses. no uniq dropped more than an ex. best uniq drop is a mosaic kite shield for righteous fire chanced a life leech uniq amulet. and Ive saved more currency from the start of the league till now than my previous league's already got 3ex 180c 30 regrets 120+ fusings 6-10 gcp (if i sell my low q gems for the recipe). so i could buy a shav. already got 2 troll occultist vestment dropped -_-. which means I farmed alot longer then my previous leagues w/ a 30c gear. except for the own 6L armour.
