Is drop-rate of guardian maps broken or tuned only for streamers?

Seems 2 certain posters who keep clapping eachothers backs both misunderstood the main post.

I was saying this league is DIFFERENT from previous leagues in terms of guardian map & invitation drops feeling significantly lower.

That's why the thread is named "drop rates tuned for streamers?"

Because streamers are a good example of players that often play far more hours then the average player, hence doesn't have the same problem with end-game gated content not dropping for them.

It didn't EVER before feel this bad trying to SELF-FARM the gated keys to the end-game content, AKA, guardian maps & invitations.



GGG making the end-game content even more gated than it already was, by lowering the drop chances, seems like a really really bad move for a majority of players.

Getting to lvl 95+ farming T16 since lvl 80+ and not even being able to have a set of guardian maps collected by then to challenge shaper and sirus etc etc? .... it feels like you're putting a lot of time into stuff that you anyway just end up having to buy access to because it doesn't drop nearly frequently enough, IF YOU ARE NOT putting 50h a week into POE.

Heck the old solution where you literally could challenge sirus almost right off the bat via your own progression as you got to maps and did just a little bit progression, that felt way better than this slugfest.

Not sure why some people can't read the topic title and the content.

You could roll the sextant that guarantees them to drop. There's a sextant for both Elder guardians and Shaper guardians.
