Sanctum ruining the economy.

TLDR: If you can complete sanctums, you are literally printing divines and mirrors, it is completely ruining the economy for everyone who is not running sanctum.

Will something be done about this? As i dont like sanctum, this is incredibly frustrating to me, i have to work waaaaaay harder to buy items, i dont even feel like logging in for the past 1.5 weeks anymore as my time spent playing is worth way less.

its rewarding because not everyone can do it. content that everyone can do is so unrewarding that its not even worth running.
worst part is that sanctum has nothing to do with your build or character but your own skills as a player,so if you have bad reflexes then you're screwed.

That youtube video leaves out another factor: Trials. People are pulling out stacks of divines, entire Magebloods, and even mirrors in high rank matches. It's also a lot easier to win by just making a very niche build optimized for the content (ex. high evasion, block, radius, and Void Sphere). Trials also cost nothing to participate, the Silver Coins are a fraction of a chaos orb for a single match and you have the potential to pull out an ungodly amount of loot.

There's no chance in hell there's lots of people running Sanctum. Forbidden Tomes sell for so cheap that it's practically a steal for anyone who can farm the content, which suggests a low demand more than a high supply. The video creator even said the tomes are roughly 3x rarer than The Patient cards. Who cares if they can be found in any map unlike the aforementioned cards? You can easily juice maps to get those cards hand over fist thanks to things like scarabs. The content is also an all-or-nothing gamble where if you fail, you lose everything except what you looted from boss rooms.

Agree on everything, except this piece, tomes are rare, but not THAT rare. My personal exp is that they seem to be maybe something like twice as common as a div/exalt drop? Certainly not as hard as a patient card, even in card-focused content like heist, let alone general mapping

But anyway, yeah, hard content should be rewarding, else theres little point, especially content like sanct where its easy to mess up/get unlucky with debuffs and leave completely empity-handed. If we think about it, simulacrum is also quite ridiculous if we measure average profit vs entry fee and time spend to clear the thing for builds that can consistently handle wave 30

I thought Sanctum was rebalanced before going core? Now you say it's screwing up the economy of PoE?

Betcha it never shows up in PoE Too. Food for thought. ='[.]'=

This is so untrue it's not even funny. Watch a dedicated Sanctum build on youtube. Anyone can do it with a dedicated build. Play EA totems - easy, cheap, accessible to everyone, little to no skill involved.

Also, I personally don't think it's all Sanctum - there's also TotA, plus this has generally been an overall generous league with good drops (which is very good).

That or really any minion/totem/summoner build with high enough dps works, farming Sanctum is just super easy when you know what you're doing and you know exactly what afflictions to avoid and what relics to use.

Sanctum rly bad and non balanced at all
just rain of mir/div
