If Delve becomes permanent - should they consider removing sulphite?

Just hit maps and have to say I'm totally underwhelmed by how much sulfite they're giving. Far far quicker to run quarry for it. That should change.

I think you're right. It's like getting greater rift keystones in Diablo 3. Basically it gets to the point where you can clear out a basic rift without any challenge at all, so it's pretty much just a waste of time to play the main content of the game. In this you'll be running through low-level content searching for sulphite.

isnt sulphite the core and intention of delve?
farming for loot?

azurite is - it makes it so you can even handle deeper delves. Sulphite is just a gating method to even enter it at all. And right now that means maps basically. It's not horrible, but it's not like you have to do delves to progress in maps. I'm just saying they should probably be independent methods if the system becomes permanent.

We have enough info to have opinions. People already beat the 600 delve mark and level 100. We know how those systems work

People even have opinions without info. :)

I think that Delve will go to the shelf because in its current state it doesn't link with the rest of the game and will create big headaches when planing future leagues.

I would listen to those people.

I suspect this will be the case unless a big uproar is generated. Already we see people hitting depths of 1000 with an originally planned limit of 1500 (now doubled to 3000).

This entering standard with all the currency and items there would put incredible pressure on GGG to constantly expand the mines as they become a separate game within POE. I can only imagine how it also limits future leagues in how intrusive they can make this system.

Take bestiary. Though it also suffered from bugs and a poorly defined purpose, it was also in a way, too ambitious. Incursion (the state of which is unknown when it enters core) found that soft spot. Delve I feel has shot too high and now GGG cannot sustain it.

why cant they sustain it exactly?
