Severe lack of alchemy orbs - what to do?

Does GGG believe we have to pick up all trash rares and sell them for alchemy shards? Cause the amount of pure alchemy orbs is atrocious. The other atrocious thing is currency trading.

Use your garden

Next thing you'll tell me is that amount of alchemy orbs was artificially reduced because GGG wants to blackmail us to play the subpar league content

Pretty much.

Thats exactly what I'm feeling like.

I rarely use alchs on maps anymore, because I use the garden, but I still don't swim in excess, even while picking up every unique and filling my inventory with yellows most maps.

Well, that's what we do in SSF, it doesnt kill us and it gives plenty of alch orbs. So it's still an option.

It isn't artifical they deliberately said they were gutting drops because they had gone way too far, tbh people need to view this as a burner league get what fun out it you can and wait for the next one if you want regular content.

If they'd added real monster content to the game like most of the other expansions but the drops were reduced to our current level people still would have been bagging on it none stop for lack of reward

Pick up uniques and rares, vendor them, make alchs.
It’s that simple.

that's exactly one of the problems that PoE has imho.

pick up, stash, connect, sort, organize, read up on, trade, plant, vendor, identify ....way too much stuff instead of actually playing.

I wonder how much people are actually playing instead of doing one of the above mentioned things.

Dude, THAT’s the game.

it's an ARPG = Killing mobs. If those other things take up excessively much time, it's not an ARPG.

It’s kill monsters, pick up loot. What’s the catch of killing monsters without loot?

pick up, stash, connect, sort, organize, read up on, trade, plant


is what I wrote. if that's only picking up loot to you...


there is more:

unveil, prophecies, atlas...

I maybe can come up with more stuff that you do instead of actually playing.

Mathil about too much loot at 8:04: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw4fhOeD2Bg

but I didn't just reduce it on loot. There is just too much doing other stuff involved as well...
