Grinding Gear Games Exposed: The true goal of Path of Exile.

This sentiment was summed up by a member of our design team who recently said "We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not."

YOLO!

I miss you Chris Wilson. 13 years of friendship! Enjoy life mate!
Yes!! nerf drop rates in a game where the whole point is finding items. OP is a moron.

Logic like this is what made me quit D3's tradeless pos game.
"Don't Tread on Me"
Picking up rares has two purposes:

First, for GGG, it is a time sink. Every 0.05 seconds you take to snatch up a dropped item, added up, reduces the overall time that you are actually clearing content and advancing toward the ever more unattainable level 100 milestone. They do any and everything they possibly can to prevent people from achieving it.
Eventually they'll simply have a system that automatically kills players that reach 99.9, even if they're standing on act 1 Beach.

The second, is to add the time sink with the chaos recipe, so that people spend time looking for those rares they need to complete the recipe over and over again, slowing them down even further.


Everything comes down to time, it is the most valuable currency game companies, web developers, and app developers can get people to pay.
Patch Notes 3.15:
Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive.
Patch Notes 3.19:
Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment.

GGG has a strong desire to punish you for picking up items which is exactly why they have not implemented a feature where you can offload items that belong into a speciality tab such as the Currency, Maps, Essences, Divinations, ect tabs with a hotkey or a button.


Huh?

You can put items in your stash with CTRL-click. 1 button (well, 2). No need to drag/drop.
