PoB Now Finds Your Build a Item DPS Upgrade within Your Budget

tl:dr - see title Click a series of buttons and, based on your Path of Building points and gear allocated, it scans the trade site and auto whispers the player selling the highest dps upgrade for your loadout (within your price constraint). Good, bad, or indifferent for the game? Edit: the manager of PoB (does it have a manager? it's open source) /u/LocalIdentity1 made a reddit post today in direct response to the GGG post. The crux of the counterpoint is (paraphrasing) " Last edited by innervation#4093 on Dec 15, 2022, 12:04:00 PM Last bumped on Dec 16, 2022, 10:43:49 AM

100% good. Anything that removes some of the arbitrary cumbersomeness* getting between a player and killing shit good in an ARPG is good.
*I love this word. It is cumbersomeness itself; it's almost onomatopoeic. Sort of the opposite to stuff like pulchritudinous (beautiful) and doggerel (comic verse). edit: per DS44's take, good 'for the players, not the game' is something I left out. I don't think anyone really cares about the latter anymore. Or, maybe more precisely, sees a difference. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. Last edited by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Dec 13, 2022, 8:59:03 PM

I think PoB says that my DPS is 30k.

I don't know what's worse, that this is so useful because PoE is insane, or that PoB (and a few other 3rd party tools) exists because PoE is being developed more player hostile every. single. iteration.
Ziggy's video actually made me chuckle because you could actually see the slow alarm rise as he continues to realize what he is explaining, and the impacts for what's ahead. To the OP's question. It's great for the player, horrific for the game. As for PoB, they just continue to push the envelope, so much so that I now believe GGG literally cannot create an in-house version players will prefer or respect. It's over. They outsourced themselves right out of developmental control. It's 100% obvious once this is further tweaked, there will be no sense, in a trade league, looking for an upgrade via playing the game, or via crafting. Farm for currency and have PoB tell you what to do. Hilarious. It's like TFT but even more damaging, which is saying something. Edit: Ziggy link if interested.

If computer programs are gonna start being so good at building characters for Path of Exile isn't GGG just committing computerism/AI-ism by banning computer AI from playing the game?
So all you really end up having is playing the economy, and plowing maps. And if you want to get anywhere on your character, you are better off mowing monsters down like weeds and just collecting pennies of the ground as fast as possible than any meaningful item hunting.

just fooling around
Do PoE bots dream of Electric Loot?
Player : Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about... your mother. Sin : My mother? Player : Yeah. Sin : Let me tell you about my mother. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

Damn this escalated quickly...
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3328601 That's a serious shot at PoB. That said I go back to my original point that they have outsourced QoL to a detrimental degree at this point.

" For a game that touts its economic resets, fresh start economy, cutthroat market PvP, the trade value of items, etc etc... where was a statement like this back when everyone was pushing Awakened PoE trade, flask macros, chaos recipe helpers, and all that other bullshit that violates the TOS and ruins any semblance of competitive integrity for honest players? |

Its a trading game, what do you guys expect from a game which gives me 10 fusings to 6link my gear ?
If we go one step further, PoB could also sell off all my excess loot to provide me with the orbs required to make a build in poe. /me pulls down pants /me starts to run in circles /me uploads brain to the overmind nexus Still better than running circles with regenmobs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drDs-Y5DNH8
