Delve is garbage income - It's time to stop

Everyone still spurts the same nonsense such as:
"We can't reduce/remove sulphite or people get too rich!"
or
"This insane money maker needs a cap!"
What big currency? Nobody has ever showed me this BIG money. You're just getting baited by loot explosions, which is why it was designed like that. You do your 10 Azurite nodes and then get stimulation with your 2 chaos and 2 regret drops from a currency node. Wow, never seen so much currency in 1 place!

Delve is GARBAGE INCOME

If you care about anything regarding loot or XP, you shouldn't do Delves in any tier. It's random RIPs for XP and dogshit currency. The "But I found an exalt yesterday!" isn't a valid argument either. Compare your mapping time vs Delve time reward - You wouldn't believe the results!

Yes, it can be fun for you, but that's it, nothing else.
I wonder if Sulphite still hasn't been changed / removed because of these chrome recipe masterminds who defend the Sulphite cap on every possible platform.

I don't disagree on the basis of currency and item drops, but I have to disagree on the basis of fossil crafting.

This is the first league where I have had great success crafting multiple exalt items. This is mainly due to fossil crafting from running delves.

aaah but this is very easy to explain. It is a relation between quantity and pack size. Sure delve gives us more pack size but the quantity of items rarely goes above 50% while well rolled maps can easily reach 130%+ .

That said the city nodes are amazing, it is well worth to waste some time going through filler nodes to get to them.

You don't have to Delve to use fossils. You can buy 3-6 fossils for 1C. If you don't pick up transmutes, you shouldn't be wasting time on fossils.

They were worth the first few days of the league, now not at all. I played last 350 - 450 with no cities to be seen at all. RNG is RNG but it's rare and it drops you a few T16 maps and a Mortal Hope div card which is 6C. Out of 700 depth in total that I delved for the reason of getting some "CHALLENGE" from the game, I got an absolute maximum of 10 T16s from all cities which is 1.7 EX.

Actually, you literally have to delve to use fossils. Delve is the only place where they drop. If EVERYONE took your advice and didn't run delve because it's garbage, then there would be ZERO fossils. Someone has to waste time getting fossils.

Thats a really bad RNG. Like I said somewhere else I managed to get 6 T16 maps from a single city node. Even if there are no chart chests they are still good places for high ilvl jewelry and a whole bunch of sextants/horizon orbs.

Yeah, and if people including you wouldn't pick up Wisdom scrolls, we wouldn't have any Wisdom scrolls at all in the game! Thank you for your service!

No it's not bad RNG and even 50 T16 maps is not worth digging 700 depth.

You realize there is an infinite supply of wisdom scrolls from the vendors. The Fossil supply, on the other hand, is dictated by players. If players stop picking up fossils, then the supply dries up. No more fossils for trade.

Yeah, Delve is real garbage.
