Best so far!

-When you see a white T-Shirt and you immediately think of TabulaRasa.
-When your friends talk about trees or skills or anything like that (fusion power, anger, Hatred, Tornado, Temple) and you instantly think if POE.
-When you create YOUR build and keep ut a secret, and others asking some crap question like "TS build? Or WayneTrain build? And you just capslock NO, OWN build.

IMHO if you played too long, you got your OWN build without guide.

When you refuse to get out of bed until you loot "energy to wake up" from your dreams first.

LOL


while driving you feel the need to stop on the side of the road and check in EVERY random piece of trash and flip over EVERY rock you can manage to find before someone calls the cops out of suspicion.

while playing the POE soundtrack in the car for background music you suddenly find yourself getting very bored and frustrated with the other drivers around you. cant quite pin it down, but you know something is missing from the road. WHERE ARE ALL THE DROPS IVE RUN OVER SO MANY OTHER CARoooooooohhhh shit. My bad

when you feel the instinctive urge to leapslam large gaps and distances in real life. NOT COOL IF YOU WORK IN CONSTRUCTION! "Hey can you hand me that drill I left it on the ladder over there?" "Sure. (WHHOOOSH, SLAM) HUUUUUUUUUAHHHHHHH."

when your most common daydreams involve you happening upon some form of treasure left behind for an unknown reason. Go up in that hot, cramped, dirty-ass attic to find a small hole in the top plate of a wall buried under a foot of decades-old insulation (you know the kind that sticks into all your pores and makes you understand the mind of a cactus and how shitty being one would be) with 6hrs left in the work day? SURE! Shit I might find an antique mirror worth a fortune up there hidden under the piles of insulation and racoon shit.

when randomly in your day, vague images of something cool dropping out of a just slain monster creep into your head, not unlike how smokers inevitably find themselves dwelling on the thought of a cigarette no matter how hard they try to distract themselves, and begin to affect your motivation for doing things. "Hey we're going to the club tonight wanna come?" "Hmmm (you say while contemplating the chances of getting filthy rich off of the club floor, and filthy, club, and floor go REALLY well together in logic) Sure I'll go! Hell some rich stoned kid might drop all his X and not notice as I feel it hit my foot, look down, then look around and discover.....that I was the only one out of the 15 people within provocative dancing distance of me that saw it. Go to the club a partyer and leave a ninja with a pocket full of treasure." Of course theres the ever present chance that itll turn out to be crushed up smarties and drywall with a fancy superman logo stamped on it and the unfortunate side effect of making you puke long before it even has a chance to dissolve and kick in, and you know that while there is a bit of good stuff in there, whatever is making you puke before the high cant be taken out especially with the bathroom lab, old mason jar/drinking glass, google-search, mix A and B together and hope for Z style chemistry youre used to. So you take it to the Dope-Master only to find out that he has EXACTLY what you need to make it decent quality.....but somehow the ingredient doesnt have enough room in the pills to be added. Leaving you with only 2 options: throw it away, or scam-sell it to someone else and be a dick. But hell thats what happens when you rely on RNG (rich, negligent, goofballs) to accidentally supply you with (hopefully) valuebles.

When you encounter a real ghost in a real haunted house and your first impulse is to chase it down and beat the shit out of it only to learn that real ghosts drop nothing but ectoplasm, and that shit is nasty.

When you leave your house and discover that you are somehow locked out then instead of attempting to get back in you rage quit life for 2 days and sleep in an ally until your calm enough to give the door an attempt to open it, only to discover that everything you did in the house the day you got locked out was reversed and "didnt happen"

when you open a box (any box. a shoebox, an appliance package, a bunch of materials for a worksite) and are COMPLETELY stunned by the fact that time didnt stop for a few moments. the lack of monsters in the box however isnt as unexpected.

When a storm rolls into your hood and your first instinct is to get ahold of every drop of mello yello you can find, and nervously drink it while you watch where the lightning strikes, hoping that you have enough to last the storm because you really dont feel like subjecting yourself to the humiliation of all of your neighbors seeing you frantically flee the area screaming that you ran out of yello drink and you wont last long without at least a few sips every few seconds.

when you find an old shirt full of holes and your first thought is "How much would cost me to make slashes linking all the holes". The answer is ofc, that it wont cost you much, just the shirt.

when your so tired of hearing clarissa tell YOU to be careful that you fantasize a 10 minute "tear her 5 new assholes for her little "go out and act like a badass only to get your boyfriend tortured to death and yourself captured by an evil legion of mindless soldiers" stunt " (yeah thats right quoteception bitches)

when you get up to the cashier at the store and then panic because you havent checked how many 1 dollar bills a ten dollar bill is, and step out of line to do the math only to remember.....a $10 bill is worth 10 $1 bills....because....DUH.....wait........so how much does that make a $20 bill worth? Shit I dont even have $20s on me.....just $5 and $10 bills.....and alot of quarters.....so if the checkout total is $52, thats like what 13.444 $5 bills 2 tens and 64 quarters? right? no that cant be....fuck it ill wait till the food drops for me elswhere....oh yeah i do have roubles....do you take those? and do you know what the ratio is? you dont? damn.....ok......how bout i trade you my old car and 3 pairs of fairly new jeans? you dont take those either? who the fuck do you think you are not accepting my obviously not currency for your goods!!?? just accept this plot of land in zambia as payment its a solid value! FINE THEN IMA JUST IGNORE YOU AND HOPE THAT FOOD DROPS ELSEWHERE! SO THERE! OK LAST OFFER! 2 WADDED UP SHEETS OF PAPER FOR YOUR WHOLE STORE, YOUD BE AN IDIOT TO NOT SEE THE DEAL IM OFFERING.

When you hear on the news about a politician turning out to be corrupt and youre truly impressed that they are still a human after the fact. Or your first thought is that maybe they turned into a white person upon becoming corrupt.

When you begin to find it remarkably hard to grasp a doorknob and open a door, and find yourself in this situation....on a daily basis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHjIb6trxBI


this ones actually serious: When you find yourself running out of patience and interest in your other addictions because they take away from PoE time and you know, while its unlikely, that its possible that sacrificed time from other addictions could net you a mirror or other insanely lucrative but rare drop.

"Fuck it, the heroine can wait, Ive got some chests to check and 4 zombies left to kill." 5 hrs, 2000 chests and an almost infinite army of zombies later, the heroine still sits there and you decide the withdrawal symptoms arent as bad as not grinding for a drop you know you wont get. You also decide that "I guess adult diapers really are more fashionable than people say. And really comfy!"

0067 When you still type /oos all time, everywhere. Including your Skype chats with friends.


Yes, I don't use ahk and there was a period when I tried to /oos in Skype almost in my every response:P

Fuk, I must be playing for too long now - I'm making my own builds. : (
But to be fair, I never followed any guides. :V

- You check poe.trade at work to buy items, you want, and when you are finally out of work, first thing you do is firing up your PC and instantly running PoE, to get trade. You, ofc, are getting back to home like crazy, so nobody buys it before you.
Actually happened when I was buying:

0068?
When check hours on my 2 main chars to discover I played more than 2000 hours in 9 months... 7.5Hs/day average.

-when anyone pulls out a map you blurt out "chisel it first!"

-you drive by people fishing and think, whos hideout is this?

-you watch a zombie movie with everyone getting slaughtered and think, weak builds, thats any easy affix.

-you've considered buying a koala to follow you around.

-you start looking for waypoints at school/work.

069 When you go to bed right after getting off PoE and have haunting dreams the whole night about a build you are struggling to piece together that wouldn't just end up being subpar.

True story. Was trying to do a Hyaon's fury + legacy aegis and just kind of gave up.
