Loot Goblin still in the game

Now you just won't know which mob it is

As long as magic find is a thing this issue will always pop up. It's just funny how no one seemed to be bothered by it before AN. Loot goblins always existed.

People will claim that since you don't know which mob it is, it doesn't exist. Or they will just handwave it away, despite the fact that thousands of people abandoned ship on Kalandra due to the issue. But that too will be handwaved away, or rationalized by saying "Well, all leagues lose people" Which is lunacy. Loot goblin still exists, you just don't know which mob it is.

I wonder why it wasn't a big issue before AN...Maybe because the loot wasn't all moved to one particular mob? Just a thought.

Doesn't change the core issue: magic find and FOMO.

Honestly, for all the things to be upset about this is the one with the lowest priority. As long as trade remains in the game, nothing will be going well for this game; trade is also an indirect factor in the loot goblin paranoia.

Sooo TRADING is also a loot goblin :D madness never ends with ppl this days

The problem with "loot goblin" wasn't that it existed, but that it forced you to equip items which you did not want to use or have another person join your map to do the ritual. These don't exist anymore in any higher form than before the "loot goblin".

The "calling in a culler" was only half of the problem.

The other half of the problem is the loot conversion mechanic that converts dropped gear into currency based on rarity. That didn't exist before AN and it's still in the game after AN.

Every time you kill a surprise loot-conversion mob and drop 3 chaos and a regal you'll know it could have been 3 exalted and a divine, literally hundreds of times better, if you had just been wearing MF gear. This situation has never existed in the PoE MF meta before.

But you could have been wearing MF and still not got it. Just pew pew, blast maps, you'll get a butt tonne of stuff anyway.

It was definitely the bigger problem. At the end of a day a game needs to be fun and that sounded like the most tedious, unfun thing you could do.
