Am i too bad as a casual player or they keeep making it hard??

Hi

Simple question, please help.
I am a newbie who always farms chaos recipe and buy items for some build posted by others.

But for past two leagues, due to drop rate nerfs and build nerfs i have not even been able to get to 12 challenges properly

Acc to patch notes posted, do you guys think i should even try to play the 3.13 ?
Is it going to be more hard then what was already so hard?

12 is always super simple to get to.

problem lies with you.

No it should be about the same. Overall power creep is at least as fast as the nerfs.

The chaos recipe is very slow, there are usually two ways I find effective to make money

- Just increase your pace, stop sitting in hideout, run lots of content, exalts will drop. Sorting your drops for chaos is just too slow. While you do that, Ive done 4 more maps (Im not zoom zoom either.)

-Look for things that go for a lot that people don't make much of it - corrupting decent gloves is a good example. In 10 vaal orbs I will often find 2 good gloves that sell for 10c to 50c.

No this i know. I mean in and before delirium i was able to make 200+ exalts by farming.
But for past 2 leagues played same amt of time, but didnt get past 10 exalts.
And now a days, 10 ex builds just keep dying and so are boring...

I thought, they might buff things now, as we have to fight 10 bosses together.
But it seems like they still nerf things.
So dont know, if its even useful to try anymore..
Just wanted to know what people who actual make builds think if game is going to be easier or harder than previous 2 leagues.

PS:
I cant craft, and dont know shit about craft, and dont have time to learn about craft

Well ggg is fine with most players not playing end content. So you either find a way to improve or come to terms with that or quit.

Mate try the other games out there they are maybe a bit better suited for u/ Maybe.. I not sure if u can but try "Lost Ark" .. its the best out there at this point of time.

But dont feel too bad..lots of people in the same boat as you.

It's not any harder IMO and I took a year off and only came back for flashback heist over xmas weekend. I play SSF and got 15 in two days not even trying..like didnt do ez ones like vaal with lightning rings or whatever. Whatever came came.

12 you should be able to get with any skill and tabula found in the Aqueduct areas (beginning of acts 4 and 9)... Just make sure resists are maxed and have over 4500 life in maps and use flasks which are so OP. If you trade you can get a corrupted 6L with stats for same price as tabula. Just make sure colors are right.

VJ, it seems more like you are suffering from a little game fatigue (10ex builds are ALL boring?) or your favorite builds were nerfed and you need to try other things. Just my 2c.

The game is more annoying in some ways (Ive never met anyone who loves juggling watchstones, tedious) but its not harder.

Eh what? Loot is getting balanced more and more around casual play, By pure farming like i do i make 20 times then what i made a year ago, the mountain of loot has gotten completely out of hand.
How are you making less?

I don't think it's dated unless you're a super flipper or rush to end game riches which OP is not ready for.
