Why POE is a broken game - Too many bad things in 3.0

Since were on this whole crafting business, you guys understand that you can't really craft anything other than a chest? Do you know how easy and reliable it is to craft a chest compared to other pieces? Just look at them one by one and beside helm, the other options are wildly unreliable. Gloves, boots, jewelry, jewels, belt, weapons, shields all get a ton of different mods you can roll whereas chests and to some extend helm are fairly locked on your essentials, i.e. resists and life/armor/es/eva. So slamming an exalt on anything but those 2 will result in nothing good a very high portion of the time. When you remove the option to roll a super GG chest because the uniques are just that much better, then obviously there are no use for exalts anymore. He is right.

I played ssf this league to 95, so couldn't get a unique gg chest, I crafted 5-7 different 84 astral plates, and it didn't take that many chaoses, I tried crafting myself some boots and those legit never happened. Same for the marble neck I dropped, and no way I slam my only exalt on those given it's almost garanteed to brick. I needed some jewels, well in ssf you're just shit out of luck because it's clearly impossible to roll those within an appropriate number of currency.

This is in no way a rant against SSF, I knew it was going to be that way, I am simply stating that as far as crafting is concerned you either need to have an absurd amount of currency or be ready to be disappointed, and either way, buying an already GG piece will always be a better deal than crafting one.

no u can craft wands with elemental damage multimod it and ask 38ex lol how riddiculous this is...

i got a headhunter yesterday and instantly sold it cuz its a useless item, doesnt help on bosses

again 2 more prophecy triggered in a low level area for 1 prophecy that i wanted to trigger in the fellshrine

3:1 silver coins wasted

its just waste

That's just player error...

Uses a minion build to cheese kill shaper... then says game is to easy.

TL;DR: OP is trolling.

Also, not that I am trying to spark any conflict here as I play both SC and HC. But being able to "trivialise" end game content with endless amounts of deaths (even during the early stages of a build) just to complain that the game is to easy once good gear is acquired seems off to me.

Also OP is using a notoriously cheesy build to farm Shaper and thinks this reflects the game as a whole.

5. The currency market, the prices and the values:

Currency flipping goes like this: Buy 28 fusing for 10chaos. Sell 26 fusing for 10 chaos.

Most prices in the POE market are non-reasonable fantasy-prices.

See how it goes:
Picture 1 shows you the sell-price. Picture 2 shows you the buy-price. That`s how it goes in this game... Riddiculous.

2.

A little tip: How to deal with flippers? Up an expensive item for cheap and ignore all the instant spam! ;)

Personally I don't see any issue here. Buying and selling prices will always be different. People will also pay extra for an instant transfer of currency. If player 1 wants X now, they will pay extra in order to have access to it now rather player Y doesn't need it now so will set up an offer saying they want to buy said item at a better ratio for them.

4. The Uberlab - Izaro:

I never liked the lab and everything that has to do with it.
I strongly dislike the trials and i don´t like to run 1 Izaro instance for 45 minutes full-key-run with golden-key instances that are so huge that it refreshes the old golden-door instance which i was in before. It´s boring me off so much that i get depressions from running lab. I avoid it at all costs. Mostly i start the labs from normal-cruel-merciless-uber when im above level 80 because i just don´t want to go in there. I find it so superlame. Sorry, but i really dislike the lab :(

The lab layouts are way too huge to run through. It costs me too much of my lifetime and i wonder who has time for running this 100x ?

I don´t find it hard to success in the lab. Izaro is for me also trivial game content.
The disconnects and offering losses suck tho. Disconnect at bossfight, Izaro-kill doesnt count for challenge because servers are crappy... The list of aweful experiences in the lab and the trials is long. And this are the things that make the lab hard for me. haha!

Honestly why is it not other way round when u kill everything in the lab you get max. keys and not when you let it alive? AOE-Builds and summoners are screwed because they get less keys than single-target builds. Again bad interaction of game-mechanics.

If you don't like the content then don't run it? I myself am not a fan of it myself as I would rather be mapping, however I also respect that some people do enjoy running lab. I have a friend who enjoys running lab and interacting with the traps and puzzles, and you what I say? More power to them, the endgame is more diverse than you seem to make out. There are plenty of end game boss encounters for those that want to give them a try, there are plenty of maps for people to run that enjoy the simplicity of mapping, you can choose to use sextants of said maps if you wish but are by no means required to, some people like hunting the absolute best of the best gear available, some people like crafting all their gear, some people like to play SSF.

So to finish this small rant off, just because YOU dislike something doesn't mean EVERYONE should. There is plenty to do no matter what your idea of end game is.

I was replying to each section individually but came to the conclusion that OP was just a salty player who thinks being able to trivialise end game content, more specifically bosses with a notoriously "cheesy" build that especially in softcore (which OP is playing in) can AFK kill end game bosses due to the nature of the build and minions persisting after death.

OP also seems to think just because they dislike something then everyone should, OP thinks that normal trading behaviours like buying and selling prices being different and "flipper" being so prevalent is somehow the signs of a broken game.

All I have to say is have a good read of what OP says, have a good laugh and then get on with your life and enjoy this rich experience we call Path of Exile, sure the game has issues but all games do, game development and balance is an on going job in an expanding game such as this, so express concerns but don't cry about things before looking at the bigger picture.
