Ruthless is way better than bloated normal game, but PLEASE make Ruthless fun to play

I've played this league, first try handedness at MF and got tired of it very quickly. Not fun after a few rounds in maps. So moved over to ruthless and BOY is this so much better than standard game.

Main gripes: abysmally low drop rates of needed support gems, NO drops for aura gems after 200hr played, death in maps still -10% XP?? Cmon, make it so a death is -5%, since the game is 200x harder dude to no decent gear drops, and terrible drop rate for currency.

I just got maps and feel this game is terrible in maps, even though, terribly slow base game.

Sure Ruthless is another game mode with no support behind it, but replayability is terrible due to not having fun at all on this game.

Never playing my main game char bc tired of the boar's off there main game.

For future league, I don't think I'll ever play main game again, but ruthless needs to make significant changes to keep me playing.

Enjoy your games and builds, just don't knock me for hating the state of main game and not-so-fun ruthless

"Just make ruthless not ruthless and it will be fun to play"
The monthly topic of "I play a "harder" mode but want it easier". Ruthless for sure continues to be a meme trap. Hoho
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
Ruthless is not made to be fun, it is made to be a challenge

There is quite a bit to unpack here, even speaking as someone who has played a great deal of Ruthless in the past. I can understand that you like the mode, but I wouldn't go as far as saying "better than normal mode" - it's simply different strokes for different folks. Now, you can prefer it to benchleague, but making an unsubstantiated claim like that invites some mean comments

It's also kinda ironic when you call it better and at the same time horrible.. sounds confused more than anything else

As you have "big gripes" with XP penalty, "terrible drop rates for currency" and "abysmal drop rates for needed support gems", what is it about the game mode that actually makes it "so much better than the standard game?"

This game has several game modes, but only one mode where drop rates are changed, and that is Ruthless. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for them to make 34 versions of Ruthless to tailor the experience to every Ruthless player out there (shouldn't be much more than 34, right?).

The WHOLE point of Ruthless, is the scarcity of drops. You think it's too low on some items, which is OK. I would be in the same boat as you, that's why I don't play Ruthless. But in a mode made to be idiotically hard/scarce, they can't really base their drop rates on your experience.
Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

yeah I wish we had something in the middle. the base game is a bloated mess beyond redemption, and ruthless feels like it's made to make us suffer. hopefully path of exile 2 does it.

because the base game is awful and even ruthless in its current state is better comparatively

Only problem I have with it is getting into higher tier map.

Being stuck in t3 for 3-4 days with the only reason being the game just refuse to give you map
Isn't fun
Isn't hard

Its just so boring I could look at a wall and feel the same thing.
Why am I still here

Stop acting like OP is saying something weird. Main PoE and current Ruthless are polar opposites. Main PoE absolutely showers you in loot and XP, while Ruthless gives you almost nothing. Wanting a version of the game that sits somewhere in between isn't a strange opinion at all. I bet a large amount of people would love that, even. Much more than the current Ruthless playerbase.
