From what i get they will be as rare as a mirror drop. So not to expect but nice when it happens.

Making loot goblins in general way more rare might be the solution I suppose. I hope they adress overall scarcity of the loot many people have problem with (not me personally since I didn't stacked monsters in maps in 3.19 - just farmed Expedition, Harvest and Altars mostly).

Hello, fellow Catarina enjoyer. Judging by what they said they are not necessarily adressing it, because they focus on hiding them part. It's better to raise awareness earlier.

Yes, this is my issue. I thought the Q&A did a poor job of talking about the issue. Chris Wilson raised some possible valid points, but failed to expand on them. He said communication failed and them failed to communicate how the changes were actually good.

We need to know what he thinks we were upset about, and he didn't talk about that. Sometimes ZiggyD is just not the person we needed to hear asking the question on a particular subject, and here I wanted to hear Grimro asking the questions. Grimro did a lot of calculating drop rates and trying to find a way to get juicing maps to be worth it.

It was a month into the league before Grimro came up with anything close to being good. When juicing maps was a currency loss that is what broke the game and what caused people to quit in droves. I didn't have 4+ hours a day to farm and I don't have the currency needed to sustain hours of farming before I get that one big drop that makes it all worth it.

When Grimro said it was a net loss to juice maps, and all of the streamers that love the game were saying the same thing it was a real problem.

The fanboys like to ignore when Mathil and even Subtractum (the faces of positivity) were being negative about 3.19, what gets me is how many streamers act like the fist month of 3.19 didn't happen. It was a month into the league before GGG got things somewhat functionable, about 3 weeks to late too save the league, and no one wants to play a dead league.

To tell the truth I have no desire to play Magic Find POE. I don't find it fun. Playing the game to become stronger and stronger while taking on harder and harder challenges with your more powerful character is what's fun.

If I wanted to play a handicaped build to have fun I would have just played Diablo II. I found magic find to be one of the least fun things about Diablo II it takes all the fun out of the build when you have to use MF gear. The build is slower, it's less powerful... It's just.. less... and that's not my idea of fun.

There was never a problem with loot goblins to begin with, and while all of the Twitch hermits were in their Reddit caves complaining and rubbing each others' backs, those of us who were left quite enjoyed filling the holes they left in the market for us.

The problem is that most people complaining don't seem to understand how their own brain works, and instead of looking for a way to use this loot feature to their advantage(some of us did exactly that), they took that time and instead complained about it all league because they think it's somehow comparable to casino games. "But mah dopamine!"

I've lost count of how many people I've seen say "I quit the league on day 2" then go on to talk about the state of loot as if they had any idea what it was like. [Removed by Support]

CW has had his share of faux pas, and some of the memes were well-deserved. But good lord, I've never felt so alienated from a community just by reading posts.

Naw, I think it's the opposite. From what I've read, most people are relieved that they don't need a MF culler and no, many players still won't focus on MF at all. This is a buff.
