Speaking of running them. I did level 95 to 98 on shrine in soft core league literally for the shit of it. I've got guild members (local group of players) that have never seen level 92 now pushing 100. hmmmm....

I think GGG are preparing to introduce 150 lvl cap.

Hey guys i think you dropped the ball while creating pure breachstones.
It takes 48 stones for 1 character to lvl 99 from 98.
and it takes roughly 120 stones for a lvl 99 to 100.
its broken and must be nerfed.
one elemental pure breachstone gives 1% exp to a lvl 99 character.
this increases with uul and chayula.
it costs roughly 21 exalts to lvl up 100 from 99. which is 21 pure breachstone rotations in a party.

Hope you will consider fixing this issue.
little edit: this nerf cannot happen mid-league so dont worry about it.
this is a suggestion to be considered next league.

I'm ALMOST surprised someone would request a nerf over breachstones. Given how most people don't make it to maps as is, it does come off as more elitist than anything.

I just hit my first 36 out since my mid abyss start. There are plenty of folks that get pretty vocal on this forum and never even see level 95.

But more importantly, I think OP is forgetting that achieving goals in PoE is a personal choice. Most of us don't invest 20 exalts into a single character and a lot of us prefer solo play. The folks racing to 100 or chasing 40 are a fraction of the player base. If I can make 36 and not be rolling in exalts, that leads me to believe that the wealthiest of players are a very select few. Expecting to punish the rest of us who may run a handful if any at all seems pretty selfish.

That's my point - more people are bothering to party because they're seeing a worthwhile return.

Still plenty of us that don't bother with rotas.

So something got people more willing to party and suddenly you want it gone. Remove the breachstone upgrades or reduce remove party bonuses -- you get similar results for two different actions.
