Most of the problems people are talking about are associated with standard and temp standard. If you want a better economy then play HC, or ask GGG to add more item sinks.


People like Snorkle and Sid are 100% overreacting. First thing is first, you need an 84 base. Most people don't play the game long enough to even reach that. You need Shaper/Elder drops on a good base then. Then you need to either chaos spam or actually craft with materials in order to get a good roll. Most of the time you are spending over 1k alts + regal + exalts, or hundreds of chaos depending on your RNG/luck.


These items give more power to players who play the game a significant amount of time or have a massive amount of wealth; not casual players. People talk far too much shit about how easy this game is, and yet the same people are the people who don't play HC. If it was so easy, play SSF HC, no logout macro, no cheesing, etc. and then show how easy the game is. And yet said same people don't, because they are full of hypocritical bullshit. Talk shit about how easy it is to get items, but are playing on standard where all their wealth is dumped into, or playing temp league softcore where it's easy as balls to make cash as it's only a matter of time.

As soon as PoE will be as RELIABLE with the mandatory always online connection, I would play solely HC. Until it reaches that point, I see 0, yes, let me bold it, incentive into sinking huge amount of time into it, just to be "moved into @#%*|~^ Standard" at the whim of the internet connection, power surges, servers crashing, and other real life issues...

And you don't have ANY kind of problem playing PoE even focusing on solely end game as long as you really sink enough time and hoard like crazy (presuming your knowledge, build and skillplay are "up to snuff")...

Now if all those cool new "toys" would have at least come corrupted/mirrored/have the magical "mod's can't be changed, only rerolled", and drop solely from the bosses encountered on the Shaper/Elder influenced maps, they would bring a "balanced" incentive to "work towards a set goal"...

At the moment, they represent solely "free candy", just like the announcements of "legacy" items come to "spike" the economy for NO GOOD REASON, just before new content gets released... If GGG would introduce "power creep" next to challenging content, things would slowly advance in the direction of making the players always feel "invincible" instead of making them at times "invulnerable" until further content to challenge us is released...

as usual, casuals love power creep.

same with ascendancy, the power creep was unreal, it trivialized the hell out of the game, and the casuals loved it and wouldn't shut up about how great it was.

this is even worse/moreso. it's basically candy crush, at this point. one might as well just "play" a slot machine simulator, it requires the same amount of strategy/thinking/skill.


ggg clearly sold out the game's integrity for the $ of casuals, and i'm sure they're raking it in.

but the game pretty much sucks now.


it's not even just the 8L helms/gloves and the global crit and etc, there are piles of stupidly broken uniques that were just added... and the abyssal jewels.
