streamers drop rate easy life easy gameplay

I have been watching alot of poe streams so far and if there are "streamer rng" changes, i must have not noticed them. Theres only one streamer (from the ones that i watch) that appears to be quite blessed by luck but thats about it. And why should they give those changes to only one or a few selected streamers? Its just a hoax.

well, if streamers have their own top priority streamer queue when league starts, its clear that developers know all their accounts, i see no technical difficulties to increase drop rate for them to be honest


Yeah we'll just gloss over the inconvenient fact that they had to ask people who got moved to the other server for their account names first via Twitter.

Nah bro. A number of the streamers didn't even realize they were in a special server at all. GGG literally adjusted their accounts without them knowing. All they had to do was re-log to bypass the queue. There are videos you can see on this.

Hell, Ziz had to reach out to GGG to opt out because he knew the optics were fucking horrific.

Nice try though!

Edit: the real kicker was when a few streamers petitioned for server access for their girlfriends, or dudes in their guild they were "streaming with". It was quite the epic fail from a community relations point of view.

Raiz asking for removal from priority queue

https://clips.twitch.tv/ImpossibleImportantGaurStinkyCheese-NoBQENbRtvN61--l

Edit: The hilarious part of the last Raiz video is when he gets confirmation he is removed from the streamer queue, GGG asks him why he, and other streamers, would ask for the removal? The lack of awareness was / is astounding.

currency drops have been the worst ever this league by a good margin, but really don't think streamers have it better they just play 5x more than I do and many of the best drop methods are gated behind setup and specific requirements which multiplies that playtime differential substantially.


Not my experience.

I've had 11 raw EX drop - some while casually talking to another player about running my Crest of Desire through his 50+ Gift of the Goddess runs to see if he could get +3 chain on Tempest shield (he got it on Enchant 2 - lucky bastard)

Just yesterday; Killed Varana in ilevel 83 Logbook, and 3 Coins later Tujen (seemingly rewarding me with better items for killing his ancestor) gave me 3 Ex. Shortly after, got my 11th natural ex drop on the ground in a Conqueror map.

The currency is abundant and fine. The mod options are about halved from previous leagues. I'm dropping stacks of 3-7 of all common currency rather frequently per map and can get 100+c in just grind drops per day (MUCH more in sales)

1) Stop trying to use streamer lack of knowledge of functionality as evidence of something.

The link to dc's (the third one) don't prove anything. In fact, I also got sent back to the Play Screen on some of my DC's at league starts. Some times, the server didn't crash, but rather, your connection got shoved out of connectivity by a portal or moving. When this occurred, you were not shoved into a Queue, because you were still considered logged in or recently logged in.

If however, the actual server crashed or was reset (happened after these very videos you are linking), you would then be booted out to nothingness.... not the play screen; the entire system would shut down. If you got booted out entirely, then you got a queue.

2) There's nothing in his stream whatsoever that proves he's not just trolling about queue. However, if it's true, that also has nothing to do with drop rates; He was trying to stream a Lab run, and didn't want to be dc'd. That is an unfair advantage vs players who have to actually not dc, but that in itself isn't game breaking.

P.S. Where did you even get this? Ziggy's twitch only goes back 2 months for me....

there is an old thread from 2012 or so where they admitted to adjusting peoples drops because they were botting...so they can easily change pppls drops. maybe someone can link that thread if they remember


wow i didn't know about it, buuuuuuuuuut i think that's can do a great problem for all us normal players, usually i start play around 9-10 a.m and stop around 2-3 P.M sometimes i bored i stop 00 or 01 p.m to watch some films and learn something about poe

now you say it, i think i know why the drop here and for all us is bad, we can be considered bots that's what i think, every day i do the same thing buy a lot of scarabs buff a lot of maps to run. i do it every day, that's why streamer got a lot of good drops they are playing online for all watch them, they can't be considered bots, i'll try change my farm do some nemesis 3 in glennach after back farm in tower

i'll try find the 2012 post and repost here ty for it

Once you have a build that can breeze through 250+ stacks of scourge


Hmm, i "breeze through" 200/250+ stacks in Scourge T16 base qual from 80% to 150, been doing it for days, and never had any ex drop in these maps, or anything of real value.

Same thing with scourged maps with 10+ currency minimum per rare, never had one ex. And i've done shitloads of scourged maps.

And i play a lot, trust me. I've given up chasing after triple Beyond/Nem 3, burned a lot of currencies for wisdoms, aug, alch and jewellers, yeah, ok ty ggg.

Same thing with Sirus A8+, i do not chase him specifically at all but still get to kill him one time per day minimum : 0 awak orb, one awak brutality and blasphemy.

Fishy. But i just don't really care about anything since a few leagues, the game gets too redundant, the chase item's farm is one of the worst and lazy pieces of design i've ever seen in ARPGs and the general balance is broken AF, just clearing the fastest possible maps with one trash and cheap build, if i really need money i craft a few cheap flasks that i quickly sell for 25-150c because people for some reasons can't alt+aug flasks, i sell scarabs and sextants (i do not even use them anymore, i'm just tired of BS RnG) and that's about it, a better game will come soon, i do not worry about that.

Scourge maps cant get over 6 or 7 stacks of one thing before they reach lvl 10. Only at lvl 10 those number can go crazy because it gets multiplied.

Weird that your challenges say you have only 3 lvl10 scourge maps completet but you say you did shitload of those 10+ currency maps.
