Can we please stop pretending that Map drops are OK in League?

You need to have reasonable expectations. You'll be frustrated by thinking that you should be as good or progress as far as someone who plays more than you do. Quit it.

I enjoy bike riding. My 50 minute commute happens to be along a stretch that racers do once a year on the Tour of California. They do it in under 12 minutes. So should I quit? Should I complain? Nope. I just keep biking.

It's true, I'm level 96 and stuck in tier 3 maps even though I chisel and vaal every map and use full sextants (full being one).

It has been derived to players without real life, bots and streamers so if you want a game that does not make you sick either of nerves or because you cover your needs as a normal person (eating, sleeping, working, showering, real friends, and a long etc.) poe is not yours.
Now if you want to become a lifeless being, go ahead and give it hard.

Nah you just need to play the game for a while to understand what you're doing and do a lot of research. When i was new i watched vids, read peowiki, learned how to use tools like PoB and learned of the existence of sites like Poeninja, poeDB, Poelab etc and asked questions in chat and read forums --- i educated myself to the point where i am now, almost 36 challs in first month of league, killing uberelder with selfmade build and having fun. This game just requires time to "git gud".

And one could play way more efficiently than i do (cos i chill). So nah, you don't need to be a "nolifer" or whatever.

Ive been playing on and off since Open Beta (you can check there in the account) I know how to play. Ive never said I want everything. I just want map drops to be better than a -50% retention, on tier when running maps.

Im a just fine quality player, not a streamer, but good enough to get things done.

Ive done the research. I know how to do things, and this is the first time Ive ever had to alch and chisel white tier maps to progress. Even then, maps arent dropping the way they have previously, and the not map content isnt making up for it.

Jesus, some of you dont read.

I guess there's no time for English lessons when you play PoE lol

I understand you perfectly I've been on that side in the last two leagues.
There is a reason why I tell you all that, it seems that the only way to balance the game is to benefit some and disadvantage others, what they call here "bad part of the RNG".
Since all this is mathematical and they are always accurate, GGG modifies the drop to suit you and accounts, because there is no other reason for what happens.

And I explain, in the last two - three leagues I started to enter that bad RNG with the drop, more than 10000 yellow objects identified higher than lvl 83 and only came out mods of tier 5 - 6 - 7 .... TRASH
1000 chaos thrown to ilvl86 bases and 1000 lost chaos.
700 coins Prophecies 0 rewards all useless.
Dozens of card games, bestiary, incursion, betrayal ... ALL GARBAGE
The same thing started with the maps of each 10 fall 2 maps and of lower tiers of those that ended.
Thanks to the fact that maths are EXACT, it is impossible to be on the bad side of the RNG for 1 year, IMPOSSIBLE and not all the time.
I do not want to think that the tap of a drop opens to you according to which accounts based on ID because it is the only explanation
And the excuses are not worth, play more, buy maps increases your IQ and density of mob, uses zana beyond, etc.

I have also been playing the beta for 8 hours or more daily because I work from home and I know how to do all that and more, but the premise of an ARPG game is to advance in the content as you progress in the equipment, GGG has perverted the game and has changed the tables, progresses buying maps that I will not provide for you if you have some currency you can buy some equipment. But for this, now we put it exponentially so complicated with bots, scams, snipers and others what previously took to buy an item now takes 10 times more and a lot more expensive than ever.

How can someone have, 245 exalted to the 3 game day without exploiting any part of the game? Well, this is the trade, full of bots selling their chaos and letters, bots buying what is listed cheaper etc ..

We do not want POE to fail, but to return to the community and away from that 1% of people who exploit the game, be it bots, streamers, scams, exploiters and guilds pricefixers.

THE POE WE ARE ALL NOT THAT 1%

Y'all know about this, right? https://poemap.live/

If it is a tool that would be fine the first days, but we do not have to fix an error that they produce from GGG.
We already support them with our money so that we can all play and reach the endgame without having to leave our lives, that 1% in 3 days destroys the new leagues.
And I'm not talking about facilitating things for everyone, but stop playing with the tap that we are all players alike.

You can buy maps all day but it won't help with sustain in the end. I have two characters, level 96 and 89, and I just dropped to tier 3 maps, running every map with 90%+ map quantity.

Dude, stop lol. Yes buying maps helps. Get your atlas to 100+ completion and you sustain just fine. I have a few hundred yellow maps and almost 150 red maps. None of them were bought except the first ones to get completion. You're doing it wrong, that's on you. Learn to play, stop spreading nonsense.

Great suggestion. "Just get 100 completion bonus when it's mathematically impossible to sustain tier 3 maps". That makes a lot of sense. If your brain is backwards.
