Everything was cool before they decided to up the drops of tier 1 uniques. Then they went even further with Cadiro and the new league, uniques as of now have become something trivial.

The changes feel fantastic to me. I want my relationship with the player market to be as passive as possible. Since items are cheaper and I sell more frequently thanks to the trade tabs, I don't have to actively prostitute my wares or currency exchanges in trade chat to save up for what I need. Now I can just grind for most items, yet there are still plenty of things that are quite expensive, Exalt crafting is still out of most players' reach, and it's harder than before to save for interesting legacy items in Standard since those prices don't seem to be going down. There's plenty to strive for with the new economy.

Finally they kept the map drops the same, which means overleveled, overgeared and overpowered characters can completely stomp everything below red maps while still being gated from going red because of the nature of the drops.

Its boring.

Yeah, so this I agree with. The game isn't necessarily boring because it's easy; the game is boring because it's extremely repetitive and too time-consuming to access the more challenging maps, at least in temp leagues, because the map progression is still funky, Zana doesn't start selling the good stuff until she's fully leveled, and people often get tired of the map system before that point, especially solo players.

I agree but I think we are in minority. people seem to love high speed farming rather than 5 min long haul boss fights like original d3 had with enrage and everything.

That sort of style doesn't work for PoE.

The speed farming meta was brought upon when GGG nerfed the shit out of red map XP. They went and rebalanced the game for awakening only to destroy the only thing keeping people from just doing easier content faster.

I none of those extremes I dont play market and I dont play self found, as most ppl.
And you are probably trying to delude yourself here if you think getting for example shavs or kaoms is as rare as it was. Number of these "rare" items is tightly bound with clearspeeds: double clearspeed double the rares.am

+ You dont get the feeling of OMG this is so valuable anymore, because nothing is really these days.

guess is still rare enought becouse those arent selling for less than 2.5 exalts. people just want to belive that super rare is good when the only thing it does is create a monopoly where a few sellers charge what ever they want becouse there is no other way to get them.

more sellers is a good thing becouse we go from few having abusive prices to many with competitive/realistic prices.


not to mention that MF as a whole is much worst than cadiro when it comes to injecting items into the economy, heck wish they would create a 1 month league with no MF to see how it rolls and if cadiro or the increace in drop rates for t1 items are such a problem.

Game is fast paced what the fuck is this lol we're not turtles / snails.

What i really meant is, there is a lot of design time given to this game all kind of rares and magic monsters, map mods and such, but at this moment - who even knows what the map mods or monster mods were its the same as if it was just white mobs - 1 click all dead and run to next pack.

And I for one would like to kill more than just white mobs. Feels like shoveling snow.

I know it was a long time ago, but it seems you never got to last difficulty. I clearly remember monsters to have complete immunities (multiple) and noone one shot Hell Baal or Ubers in Tristram, also remember iron maiden curse? However seeing description under your comments explains your attitude.

What the fuck is this of course you didn't 1 shot it but it didn't fucking mean it wasn't fast paced. Magic immunities weren't a big deal either like what were you a shit tier player in d2? Naw naw that's too classic.
