People complaining about loot copy builds

You copy a hyper optimised build someone else made. A build that trivialises the game for about 2 divs. End game juicing is a breeze since the build is strong enough to do all content with little investment. The only joy you derive from PoE is picking up valuable loot. You may or may not even enjoy the build you play - you play that build because it's the strongest.

[Removed by Support] That way in a game with endless choices you can actually make your own decisions and make a character you enjoy playing and care about, instead of chasing items on the ground?

Group play should be nerfed since it should be about friends having fun, not a farming strategy, that's literally sociopathic. Top end juice was idiotic and only accessible to meta builds and not scuffed ones like I seem to make every season. Try things, be stupid, be weird and enjoy PoE as it was intended to be.

You assume an awful lot about an awful lot of people. You didn't hack the matrix and don't know peoples motivations, you just asoom. And after you asoom you make a derogatory rant dunking on your imaginary opponents. Intredasting.

A little bit too far there OP. I dont agree with a few points in here about people being "idiots" or "copying a build"

People can play what they want. If they wanna play frost blades/LS/IceNova... whatever they can.

With loot though and the complaints I have seen, people got way to comfortable with affliction and then the subsequent broken mechanics of necropolis (meat bags, rouges, ghosts, seer fishing, divine fishing etc..)

This league there really doesn't seem to be this huge "loot problem" that I am aware of.

Funny enough, there was an exploit early on and the devs caught it and everyone praised them for saving the economy, now some of those same voices say theres no loot. Would hate to be a dev for this game, you just cant win.


I have seen Empy's group talk about it with Subtractem. But their idea of a loot problem is not getting 20 mirrors in an hour versus getting 10 (hyperbolic but they are at the EXTREME top end, we are not).

This kind of stuff really does not apply to anyone on the forums, or really anyone outside of that group. Noone but them really plays like that or gets to that level of loot so using it as an example doesnt really support anything.

i play solo with a minion build i made. been playing at least 3-4 hours every day since leaguestart and still havent had a single divine drop or any drop thats valuable. probably be quitting soon and coming back when they fixed the drops because this is just a waste of my time at this point

Some of us make our own builds. Sometimes they're great. Sometimes they're lacking.

I just ditched a build because I realized it has a flaw that would become a problem.

Sometimes I'll copy an idea from a build but not the build itself. Like I usually run Leap Slam + Faster + Endurance on Stun but I forgot there's a Rage on Hit to compliment new rage on hit stuff.

Many of those complaining are the type that play the game instead of gaming the play. The complaints are legitimate. There is no loot to progress characters and the mobs are still over tuned even after a few super obvious leaugue mechanics were dialed back.
