Never seen a Zod rune - Never seen a Mirror.

The interesting thing about this reveal is that neither really matters. In D2, it really didn't matter if you never saw a Zod drop, and in PoE it doesn't matter at all if you get a mirror or five. The game doesn't depend on these rare events to be good. Look at a game like Lineage. It requires rare events (not as rare as zods and mirrors, but still pretty rare) to advance in the game. You need to grind to advance. Some like it... some don't.

PoE doesn't require grind... but it's there if you want it.

Those items would be something special if they couldn't be traded for. Amassing common currency and buying from an asian botter or a russian duper kind of defeats the purpose of the game, yet that's what every player does. I'll never understand why they even play at all...

So I bound the same audible tone for both exalts and mirrors but it sounds very close to my other must pick up currencies. The other week I hear it go off as I'm trying to kill the dog and bird in the T12 map but I've died so many times this level that I'm scared of losing even more XP, so I think, whatever it's probably just a fuse or chrome totally not worth dying over. I leave it. A few days later an exalt drops and the tone sends shivers down my spine because now I'm not so sure it was just a random currency but may have actually been an exalt or even worse, a freakin mirror. Haunts me to this day that I'll never know, and that I may have possible left a mirror without even just risking a visual check ;-;

If you can afford them, what's the big deal about the drop?
