GGG please end speculation by denying streamers better loot

I am seeing these accusations every where now, Reddit, Youtube, Twitter...even on these forums. GGG please end this and just respond and let everyone know Streamers aren't getting better drops. Since Chris's statement, which I do appreciate him admitting the mistakes (thank you for the transparency) players are saying that if GGG can give queue advantage to streamers and their friends/family to promote their streams and POE, then why wouldn't they give better loot to them as Mirrors and Headhunters dropping would make for a much more exciting stream, thus promoting their streams and POE.

This theory is really catching momentum, so please put out a statement denying this so people can stop talking about it. Thank you.

There are people who have sworn up and down for years that is the case, and will see everything as proof of that. The two things are not connected and yet somehow they are being connected. That just screams confirmation bias.

They might be doing it. But we'll never know because they would never admit it. I personally think they're not because that would be suicide for the game if it ever got out.

As for the streamer priority, that's not new. In older leagues you started on the strand and frozen. And while you were frozen you would see some people triggering the global firsts in each league. I'm shocked that people are surprised by it.

It wasn't a good look then when they did it, and it's not a good look now. But it was known. The only reason people are pissed now is because the queue was so jacked up and it actually had an impact.

At this point, people would believe that statement about as much as they believe you'll be giving out supporter packs.

They can't prove a negative. They know that. Asking someone to deny something that they can't prove is pretty low.

I will say though that if your saying to yourself "If they ever found out I did/do this, they'd hate me" is a pretty good reason not to do something.

people have been talking about this since forever, and the believer are unable to be convinced otherwise despite there being no evidence of such a thing beyond confirmation bias and a lack of understanding of how they arent as good at the game as other people.

there was a guy in the other thread who said that mathil builds never feel nearly as good for him as they look on stream, so ggg must be ninja buffing his stats behind the scenes. these are the kind of people you are dealing with, do you think they have capacity for rational thinking?

one notorious conspiracy theorist around these forums now and then make threads complaining about how the game is badly tuned and how he is getting destroyed by late game content on his poorly assembled budget builds. when being offered advice he only ever retorts to excuses about things not being afforable and unbalanced, refusing to let go of his idea of how the game should work in his mind. no ability for self reflection or willingness to learn. only excuses.

there are the kind of people who follows the line of thinking that leads to the conclusion that those that do things or have things which he cannot understand how to achieve, must be cheating. and there is no way to convince these people that they are wrong, because they grossly overestimate their own abilities in true dunning-kruger fashion

so there is no point to even adress it

There absolutely is streamer bias in drops. That bias comes in the form of time played. Streamers play more in one day than most people play in a week or more. More time played=more drops. Personally, my RNG is abysmal, but i don’t think GGG has it out for me.

Well it is actually confirmed some companies "buff" streamer RNG to sell more "surprise mechanics". 100% fact, not speculation.

Seeing that GGG has absolutely marked players as "streamers" for special benefits I don't find it hard to believe these extend further than just connection.

What we will never know is to what extent these "special tags" gain said streamers. To flat out say "never in a million years will GGG do such a thing" is willingly blind imo. I lean towards thay absolutely DO gain other benefits.

That being said I don't care in the slightest as it takes nothing from my experience.

GGG make script for drop more exalteds and mirros from streamers and for roll more better mods in craft too !!!!!!

The fact that they are choosing not to answer at all is itself ... not confirmation, but certainly suggestive.

i mean u can see ur drop and stream drop and compare no?

i run lot of maps and map not drop or drop lowest possible like t1 while streamers alrdy almost complete or halfway completed atlas and keep progress... so ye if u have eyes u can see

or GGG just remove my bad rng if its just me alone...
