what it is to be

item level 73

These gloves have fallen on the map 71

Base Max Life Lvl 1, 10 to 19
Base Cold Resistance % Lvl 1, 6 to 11
Base Fire Resistance % Lvl 1, 6 to 11
Base Lightning Resistance % Lvl 1, 6 to 11

A 5 doesn't know anything about RNG apparently o.0

I suspect English is not their first language. Polish, going by those character names.

It's a good point though. GGG have long neglected the importance of item level-appropriate affix rolls. If they're using this wide variance as a 'balance' technique, then they need to scrap it and find a new way of ensuring not all rares are tier 1 or whatever.

Because frankly, there's no excuse for those mods on a set of level 70+ gloves. Dropping items like this is what Chris would call a negative experience.

I still dont understand why GGG does not alter this to be more accurate to the level you play in. Honestly, even if the chance to roll "midtier" rolls more often on high Ilvl items would be higher and the possibility of low rolls set to 0% it would be such a good QOL change imho.

Damn..

Edit: Don't even know what else to say.

I would use language THAT strong if it were up to me to convince GGG to get over this antiquated RNG-uber-alles attitude.

I feel what is letting me personally down the most is that there is no communication from GGG at all to why they think this system is best as it is now compared to a more "inteligent" system which determinates the itemlevel and then applies the RNG accordingly.

^if they change this now, they devaluate all the time investment done by prior players. Not that i would give a shit, but still it's the truth.

It's like the legacy stuff, change the system now and effect all prior investment into gear.

Same happens when you change the basics of how the RNG rolls.

Also finding crap rares is important to establish currency for rolling maps etc.

Read the latest Q&A. This "everything goes" looting system aint gonna change. It's easy to create (just shove in more RNG) and to maintain. As GGG is concerned, trading / economy provides all the functionality that looting fails to.

The Q and A is not all inclusive. I know things that aren't in there, for example.

This is what I'm implicitly asking. Should I make this my next crusade? Current is infinite minion spawn by bosses, with some Elehit Equilibrium thrown in.

Those gloves would not exist in any other ARPG. They would not exist in any other RPG I know of. Even Dungeons and Dragons has always had difficulty appropriate loot. If you kill a venerable dragon, you're not going to find a scroll of light.

I genuinely want to believe this will be addressed in an overall reduction of loot drop spam. Quality over quantity, GGG. You guys should appreciate that one.

We need crap, because we need alteration orbs.

Imagine only "appropriate" items drop, now you have a bad player experience in relation to gaining alteration orbs, since you have to sell potentially good/semi good items just to get a basic currency.

The system works because even a crap drop like that is basically a 1/3th alteration orb, which holds value for all layers of players. And a drop can only increase in potential worth compared to that 1/3th alteration orb.

I would pose your lack of end-game (mapping/crafting) makes you say the things you say without understanding the implications of what you are requesting.

But that's just me, i could be wrong.
