The error of GGG

Hi,i'm a useless person for someone who wants only money from me by playing their game,but i really loved this one in the past.
I don't understand why now I do 27 maps (including 2x springs & 1 arsenal + 24 tier 8-9) to find a tier 10 map. I don't understand why it drops a chaos every 5 maps and why did you've nerfed lvling over 90?
Lab is bugged,i keep trying to do uberlab and it freezes me. In the past solo playing was respected,now what happened ? I can't find any item a day, i've forgot when i saw last exalted. It's impossible...i use like 3-6 chaos a map to reroll it and i find 2 alcs ? Please do solve the drop rate and the bugs, i did invested money here (if that counts).

So....as a conclusion,no one cares about it :) Ok i'm done !

Ok. I'm done!

He doesn't properly roll his maps, spends too many chaos on it and his clear-speed is probably very low aye. Also he expects people to reply within 1.5 hours and expects the drop-rate to be adjusted to new players and believes that the way to make money is that every 10 maps an ex drops (if you spend 6 chaos per map then you need 1 ex per 10 maps which is nuts and even more to make a profit).
Another mistake is thinking that solo-running high-tier maps equals profit. It's not. High tier maps usually cost money and the only way to somewhat sustain it is by selling the stuff you find there and by running them in a rota. Properly rolling high-tier maps requires a lot of math though to get the best statistical-return-ratio. And lastly running with a mf-guy also helps.

I believe T7 is about the highest map-tier you can sustain without resorting to other sources of sustain.

The lab bugging is sad but many people have them I'm sure.

The problem is that i run a phys based char and i am so unlucky that i always get reflect roll on it... that's why i use that many chaos orbs

high maps in this game simply arent worthwhile, theres a reason a lot of people complain. i just use red maps when i wanna test my chars, other than that i roll on yellow maps and transmutes/alt orbs

lab...well lab is kinda p2w :( with a shitty computer dont even bother doing it because you will drop out every few runs and will want to hit your screen with your keyboard or something. i heard uber lab was kinda buggy, and im not even doing that shit, will just get orbs and pay for someone to rush me :D then i shall get my last 2 ascendancy points and never look back :D

also in this game, like many others, you wont get nearly as much currency by mfing, but by flipping! you wait for the league start, make a mf char, get starting currency, flip stuff till you get enough to buy stuff for the char you actually wanted to play, and then play it! any other way isnt really the best

trade phys reflect with someone that has ele reflect and that can run phys reflect maps. Or sell them or find a way to make your build work with phys reflect. If it happens to a high tier map like T13-15 then okay reroll it. and if it happens after vaaling then sell it.

Also use something like http://pathofexilebuilds.com/exppenaltycalc.php to calculate what maps you should be running. If you are lvl81, then don't bother running 74+ because it's a waste of currency.

And there are many many more factors to take into account to make the mapping ideal and sustainable (to some point).

Also be aware that GGG finds it 'funny' to create imbalanced maps. Like pier T5 gives me 230mil/hour (even with xp penalty) and caverns T7 gives me 78mil/hour, strand around 200mil/hour. Sometimes a map several tiers lower will give several times more xp/hour. So not all maps are worth running (xp-wise). I know Volcano also used to be TERRIBLE but they buffed it in Ascendancy. Nonetheless those shitty xp maps should be vendored (3 of the same type) or sell them to newbies (for a little less) who are unaware of these noobtraps and you use the currency to buy better maps.

Then there are the super valuable maps like Gorge that just give INSANE amounts of xp when run in a group (preferably as rota).

Ok,so let me explain. I am running Path Of Exile from an I5,12 Gb ram,Gtx 970 computer. It's not worth for me to sell the maps i've crafted if i already waste currency on it cause i won't get it back. It's all about standard. I can't play latest patch GGG made because it's too laggy even for an 100 Mbps fiber connection. It's just about their servers. Desecrated ground slows everything and my kinetic blast build does enough damage to freeze my computer and instant kill me if some crowd effects.
After that,i won't run any lvl 74 maps if i had any tier 10+ maps,but the drop it's impossible. It's impossible to run 3-4 maps for 2 alcs when i use 1 on each + chisels and i get maximum 10 scrolls + 2 orb of chance & some transmutation. Does now that makes sense ? Even chaos/regal recipe goes SHIT because i can barely get enough amulets / rings dunno for what reason. I'm a standard player just because they fcked my dreams trying to play latest patch. I invested over 1000 Euro in this pc to play an online game that destroy my pc. I understand that,but please just make it worth even if i bought skins,tabs,currency tab,etc. !

Ground patches causing FPS drops goes way back. I believe they improved it somewhat though and when playing solo you should be able to play PoE with a somewhat decent PC.
Note that for me personally PoE is using more than 2GB RAM and RAM is super cheap and I recommend 3GB+ RAM for PoE. But playing on low video settings may work.

Getting lvl 90 with alched 74 maps is very doable and very cheap. You even make a profit out of it. But it is boring. If you can't sustain 74 maps then you are doing something wrong. Sell the 76 maps that drop and buy more 74 maps and alc them and run them. Sell them physical reflects and try to run bloodmagic maps as well.

I dunno why we are supposed to run most maps far below our character-level. I dunno why an unrolled Pier T5 map gives more xp per hour for a lvl 89 char compared to a fully rolled T9 residence map... Endgame mapping is mostly boring because we often have to run lower tier maps while we should be running lvl80+ areas. But if you know how to map and figure out the imbalances in this weird endgame system then you will be just fine.

Also the tiering system was supposed to make things less confusing for new players. So that they are not like "why am I running a lvl 69 map when I'm lvl80?". But it makes no sense to me that lower tier maps can be more valuable than maps several tiers higher. This is a noobtrap.
