Bugged armour with 24343% fire resistance

I am trying to understand the reasoning behind the lack of concern around bugged items. There are currently bugged items that are ruining this game, such as the one you can find here.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Standard/eDlnvDYcL


I do not understand how such items have been allowed to exist for years now, even though to me it would seem like a not difficult fix to remove something that breaks the game.
I do not think I have to explain how these items break the game and render it pointless, but I am not understanding why they are allowed to exist for such long periods of time.
I have not heard anything from GGG when it comes to the removal of these, so I am baffled to see people thinking nothing will be done, and the bug keeps being abused. The more a fix is delayed, the worse the situation becomes, with people investing more into abusing a bug that will eventually either have to be fixed or will make it so no other builds are worth being done in comparison.

Is there any plan to fix bugged items that ruin the game?

It's not a bug, it's a legacy item
just get one if it bothers you so much

one could argue that mirrored weapons are more broken than this

It never a legit mod value unlike other legacy mod.

Ggg do nothing is another thing

It's attitudes like yours that are so damaging to this game.
If something completely breaks the game and gives you a non-intended god-mode, it needs to be fixed, not abused even more. If everyone did as you said, this game would become pointless. You should think about consequences of things.

And one that would argue that, would have no clue about this game.
This chest gives you pretty much infinite armor and infinite regen with the fire mastery. It makes everything irrelevant.
Not only are mirrored weapons not even a fraction of the power, but they are intended. This isn't.

I'm not sure how you could think 24343% Fire Resistance was a legit mod at any point in time.
It's a known bug, and it's been there for years.
the bug that allowed this item to come into existence was fixed many many years ago already.

welcome to standard, home of broken items.
Its a known bug if enough users exploit it will probably get fixed. And all the "mirror" copies will also get fixed.

It is bad for the game and I hope it does get fixed and retroactively fixes all current armors to be t1 fire res.


So those that are exploiting it now are taking a 3-4 mirror gamba (That is the cost to get a mirrored copy last I checked) (and its a gamba because once GGG fixes the mod the chest looses all worth)

But at the end of the day all it does is give you infinite tankiness and infinite dps. There are plenty of standard builds that are like that and they still dont "break the game" as you can only do most mechanics so fast.

It just a simple fix that somehow GGG does not implement


You cannot have 100% reduced resistance

actual resistance has a hard 90% cap

Many in-game value has a hard cap to eliminate the issue of having items with bugged mod values still circulate around and exploit it by scale it with some mechanic


Just GGG do nothing. Neither delete all of the items or just add hard cap on "uncapped resistance " or adding hard cap on anything that scale with "uncapped fire resistance "

Just because there are other issues, doesn't mean this one doesn't break the game as well (as you said yourself, it's bad). This is next level though, getting god-mode out of one cheat item is not what other builds do.
You can't say infinite tankiness and infinite DPS and say it doesn't break the game next to each other. It depends what your definition of 'break the game' is, but if it is making everything completely trivial and meaningless by equipping one item, then it breaks it.
