EXALTED ORB Price Shenanigans [Delirium] 127:1 What is even going on?
" Nay, I understand the difference between "need" and "want" :) But if stuff exists in the game, then it must serve some practical purpose, no? Like, someone must be able to afford it somehow. I'm just not used to looking at end-game gear and realizing that it's the same thing as looking at a Ferrari through the window of a luxury car dealership. For instance, back in Diablo 2 days, the most sought-after item was probably Enigma. Was it rare and expensive? Yes. Could an average player get their hands on one over the course of a 6-month season? Absolutely, I can personally attest to that. You would just farm the cow level ad nauseam, and eventually you would see that Ber rune drop, and viola - you got yourself an Enigma. But in PoE, it seems like some items are so expensive that they might as well exist in a parallel universe. So that's why I was asking - am I doing something wrong by just playing the game, farming the maps, collecting and exchanging smaller currencies, and saving up to buy another exalt? Fuck master rotas. Fuck any kind of rotas, for that matter. Last edited by DGTLDaemon on Apr 4, 2017, 6:49:45 AM

You are not doing anything wrong.
However you are only level 90, if you were to grind to level 100, then since that means thousands of maps(compare that to 100 or so u need until 90), you would have enough currency to afford that kind of stuff, does an average player level to 100 in 3 months? No, and extreme minmaxing is only meaningful for them. So if you are playing 20 hours a day, clearing maps constantly, 2min per map and you want to save an extra second per map, then you can get your hands on that kind of gear. Otherwise if you are not into that kind of gameplay, but is interested in playing a single build past 90,then eventually you can get yourself a 20 ex upgrade. If you only play til 90 with a build, as the majorit of us does, then the cheap items are just as fine, may that be gear for 10c or 2 ex. For the absolute casuals the 1c gear is perfect. | |
" Yup, that was my assessment, too - at the current rate, I might save up something like 20 ex by the end of the league. OK, thanks for taking your time to write that wall of text, this clears things up a bit for me :) Fuck master rotas. Fuck any kind of rotas, for that matter.

" Daresso's shield is now legit good for the beginning Gladiator. :| Geofri's Crest was/is go-to leveling item for some spell builds. Obliteration is used in Occultist builds... Midnight Bargain... well, it isn't that good anymore, but sure as hell some Spectre builds will be able to use it well. Marohi Erqi, heard of Earthquake? Voidheart? No? Voidbringer - I sold well rolled Voidbringers for ~10c last league. I think people still use them... You going for all the cookie cutter builds with streamer-grade uniques doesn't mean other uniques are bad. Many of these uniques can be used in end-game viable builds or for leveling up/early end-game. If you cannot manage to get yourself some leveling gear for early end-game, you most likely will quit PoE anyways, since it requires you to do searching all the fucking time anyways. I'm all for tutorials and shit, but arguing that economy is making people quit is simply silly. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

First post after 2000 hrs played ( I don’t afk . . . . ok maybe a tiny amount ).
Finally, inflation has outstripped my ability to buy fun gear. In all fairness, I play with a few friends for about 3 hours a night and am by no means hardcore. Now before various people reply with amazing solutions on how to access endgame content (Hall of Grand Masters + ) with a 4-link and a flask all I am posting is that this is the first time I have truly felt that it’s beyond my ability to commit the amount of time needed to access the higher endgame content with conventional builds. I enjoy playing a variety of styles I just cant afford the time to make amazing builds and rely on cookie cutters. Sorry. Now don’t get me wrong, my ability to invest time is hampered as I am a dad with work and study commitments so if GGG want to gate access then I can respect that. I suppose this is the first time that I have felt that available time commitment won’t get me as far as it used to. It is no secret that GGG respects those that invest time and effort so I am just wondering, do I lower my expectations and accept that higher endgame content is now out of my reach? |

" You refuse to play a build that can do things cheaply but then complain that your build you tinker with in your spare time costs too much to access End game I used to do that. IGN- Shaeyaena

" Um sorry I thought i made it clear, fun and enjoyment play a role. I dont refuse to play builds. I like to play a variety of builds that seem enjoyable to me. All i am asking is my approach now outdated? being able to earn currency. . . . I used to do that. |
