And just so you don't go off wandering - if they do that for currency i.e. "change drop rates all the time" how can you as a player be sure they don't do the same with perfection from shrines for example? And just so you can have further proof you can look up https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1470621 and see when ggg stealth nerfed the frequency with witch people got perfection on shrines. You can also look up the Darkshrines announcement and see even there when people confirmed the nerf. But as always you can close your eyes and walk away. Why would I close my eyes and walk away, I asked for proof you provided information that I will take a look at when able as I can not watch youtube at work. In regards to the forum thread you linked, it's already been said. confirmation bias. WHen I say proof, I mean statistical analysis and multiple reciprocable test runs through multiple tests that show a legitimate decrease of drop chance. Anecdotal evidence does not count as a legitimate source of proof or knowledge. ------------------------------------------------------ I definitely am exaggerated the 1/50 but I legitimately went through about 30 trying to 20% my glacial cascade. I almost think that it had a higher chance to pick the higher rolls and since almost all of the multi's I had were 15% or under it would seemingly make sense. But that's merely anecdotal.

They don't hide anything, they tell things to the players in their guild.	Posted by Melzas#3995 on Dec 6, 2015, 8:43:36 PM Quote this Post

Anyways...) As far as ggg's competence goes. I never said they are incompetent. If you read my first post in this thread you'll see that my main gripe with them is the semi transparency when it comes to any aspect of the game. Be it prizes for the temp leagues or nerfs/buffs that affect everyone's gaming experience. As for those people who run three maps and get no drops. I've been there, know that feeling and decided to simply not cater to ggg's steering every aspect of the game towards trading; i.e. I'd rather not progress with a toon than having to buy high tier maps cause ggg thinks thats ok. I almost never get on the forums unless I'm at work. Not my real account anymore, use it for forums while I work You might also know me as "Thisisnotmyrealaccount" to which I forgot the E-mail for.

" Hallsttattian wrote: You guys laugh and scoff at this guy but he's basically summing up the main reason why most of the players leave this game. It's the opaqueness that ggg has wrapped PoE in. From shady announcements to flat out condoning game and trade exploits ggg has done nothing to make the game newbie friendly or to assure some sort of stability for the existing playerbase. When shit goes down all they can say is "Sorry. It won't happen again." But by the time they end saying that a few people like OP who are tired of turning to other sites for info and who don't have the patience to learn about trade, mechanics or how "the last stealth nerf destroyed their build" will have left the game. In the long run this will hurt the game worse than any nerf or lack of info on the site/forums. Do you know what is SAPIENCE? Yeah. I know that you know. All said. Congratz.

We are pattern seeking mammals, molded by natural selection to be terrified of false negatives (it's probably just the wind) and accept false positives (he thought he heard a lion, no wonder he ran). Wraeclast is a Skinner-box and we make false positives all the time, and we are terrified of making a false negative. It is mean to adjust drop rates without giving notice just to further mess with our heads. Other than that, information should only be accessible through exploration imo. Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that.	Posted by Nutius#0402 on Dec 8, 2015, 10:35:06 AM Quote this Post
