Should a divine orb be more valuable than a exalted orb?

Of the MANY problems with the game right now (thanks Chris!) this is the least of my concerns.

I think it makes sense, gives value to well rolled unique items, and makes exalt slamming a legitimate possibility even if the outcomes are normally shitty. If they reverse them I wouldn't care either. I don't have really strong feelings either way.

Well the main thing is that their value is determined by their crafting bench use over actually using the item itself which is kinda messed up. There's not much should here in that case.

They serve a different purpose. GGG trying to force them into a different value has been a disaster. Upending the entire economy. It was a terrible choice.

I don't think they should. Exalts are basically useless now.

Thanks for your opinions. I see there are some mixed feelings about this topic.

I'm curious what will happen in the future with the exalted orb :)

I personally hate the change, because my brain has been, over many years, trained that dropped Exalt = great, and dropped divine = meh, whatever.

Now, when an Exalt drops, the happiness turns sour in a second because I remember it's not great anymore (which feels kind of shit and hasn't changed one bit for me in the duration of the league), and when a divine drops, I get no happiness whatsoever because it's firmly in the meh, whatever category.

IMO a really simple way to make the same change but better would be to just make Exalted orbs reroll modifier values and Divine orbs add a modifier (i.e. switch their functions).

Then you can keep Exalted shards as they are, Exalted orbs are still worth more than Divines etc (and you can even justify bringing back the Divine trade for a 6L), and it's a little less confusing in terms of perceived value.

The only real use for exalts is the recipe in the workbench that gives +17% damage. Slam an exalt for another mod is never done even if you have hundred of exalts available because there is no way to undone it and with a 99% of chances that it will be a bad mod, you have to start all over again.

Don't care nor do I understand why people make such a fuss about the swap. I get plenty Divines from just playing and actually slamming Exalts feels pretty good now.

Im more annoyed at the 6L card sets now that I cant vendor for divines.
