Everything must be simplified, tired of this ridiculous micromanagement.

I'm not asking for over-simplification, but...

- Maps "encounters" (breach, abyss etc) : 1 at a time but with stronger rewards (larger stacks) More visibility and less confusion; what happen when you open a breach, syndicate attacks you, an abyss starts to crack, and the zana mission is timed ? Mess, frustration, and performances issue.

- Less rares items but with better odds for good modifiers
- Removing all useless modifiers (flat damage reflection, low life regen...)
- Removing all tier 1 uniques from loot, use recipe instead
- Removing all useless cards (or increase their reward)
- Most of white items removed, half of blue ones too, at least
- Removing like 20-30% of bases items of all types, the less used ones (ie: slow bows & wands...)
- Removing low tier variations of scarabs
- Removing alot of white & blue items loot in maps

... To be continued...

The ridiculous business model of feeding players with tons of various loot to increase the need of tabs is a sad reality:

One major point is the emergence of new items types likes fragments, splinters, or scarabs, not being weapons or armors by themselves but giving access to another loot source... And the variation of each of these new "sources" is also increased:

Cards giving cards giving...

Low Cards issue became horrible, hopefully it's possible to hide shitty card by using poe.ninja lists, and doing copy/pasta/edit in a filter.
Problem: This has to be redone each new league...

A large part of this loot is calibrated to be -just enough worthy- to be picked up... Hard to not pickup a rusted carto or harbinger scarab.

MAPS are now stacking in tabs in a complete different way than it was some leagues ago. Everything seems to be done in order to fill up the thing.

The "sort out" part became a pain: each item has to go in its own tab at some point, the amount of different tabs increased from like 1 to 10. Each new league we are spending more and more time clicking and sorting out this mess.



I'm tired of this micromanagement crap. Auto-grabbing & Auto-sorting could be a progress, eventually.

Below: an example of what the fragment tab became, even with selling and using mass of them, after doing several time the Simulacrum map:

This is 10 tabs of unstackable items.

That would turn poe into another diablo3, mmkay.


While these trash heaps of white/blue loot can surely be tuned down (tho well, there's so called "chance bases" around them and some specific items like say high ilvl crude bows), there's already a shit ton of power creep going.
IMHO what should be reworked is all these generic loot piñatas introduced over last 3-4 leagues, which devalued specific loot categories like temple/fossils/lab enchants etc. quite a bit.

I switched to SSF long ago, but sometimes do check prices, and if you look at say uniques - despite all these pixel egg-salts dropping everywhere like never before, in comparison to the previous leagues, nothing apart from two and a half items from each specific category really "costs" anything, because too much of all the crap just rains from the sky, up to the point of not being fun anymore, even in SSF.

There are plenty of other dumbed down games out there. If the game seems too complex for you, there is no shame in leaving it for something you’ll have more fun playing.

this should be simple enough:

Never said i wanted it deliberately simple, but like you are saying: "crap just rains from the sky", it's time to stop - YouTube

Outsmarted by a Tetris brick.

No, to everything you just posted.

And what it boils down to is i want more and better loot. (nothing to do with a business model since you don't pick up that "trash" anyway)

As for the cards, they can't and won't change those since they are supporter created...that means people PAID money to select the reward item and how many cards you need for it to complete the stack.

read first post, i added something.

this game is an obese overloaded donkey with more glitter than function on it
OP has a point, the named solutions may not be the best but this game surely has become a big messy chunk of nonsense lately

"go play diablo"
yeah wise answer

-someone does not like certain aspects of this game?
claim he is completely wrong here and needs something "more simple"

ok elitist

I'm tired of this micromanagement crap, and i have to do a feedback about it. Auto-grabbing & Auto-sorting could be a progress.

I'm right... :p

No, you're not. Download a lootfilter, it will hide low value items, and show only those that will probably be worth something. Something that is low value to you, can have value for crafters, boss farmers etc. At some point you will be able to make your own loot filter, to see drops that you want/need.
This league something is worthless, next league it is worth an ex.
For one person "The Hoarder" card (12 for an exalt) can be treasue, for me it is 10c trash.
