Loot is awful.

How about go back to your loot pinata that is D4 where you spend more time selling at a vendor than you do playing.

A MASSIVE part of PoE is crafting, pick stuff up, get mats, find an item, craft and rng a useful item..not useful..try again.

The loot, overall, is fine...people are just complaining mostly because loot is not falling from the skies in mass quantities. If people would take the time to USE the systems given to us instead of complaining about it constantly you might get somewhere and have fun like crazy amount of players currently doing so.

The loot is fine, you're just not using the included systems to make the loot useful.

There is a matter of:
not enough currency dropping,
the currency that drops being too heavily the lowest ones
not enough gear dropping
the gear that drops exclusively being trash
"rarity" as a modifier on gear being far too important
and crafting not existing as it's really just more gambling
For those reasons the loot systems do need improvement.

There is not, however, any issue regarding loot being dropped for "not your class/build".

Something people need to understand if they're going to play PoE2, just as if they were going to play PoE1:
This is not a game where you are meant to choose and play only one character.
This is a game where you are meant to play multiple characters.

You aren't meant to simply pick a Ranger, and go through the game finding bows.
You are meant to start as a Ranger, loot a good staff, make and play a Sorc, loot a unique mace, make and play a Warrior, loot some other uniques and rares befitting a Monk build, make and play that Monk build, and only then as the Monk find great gear for a bow build and swap back to your Ranger.

Obviously the order of characters is arbitrary but the point is you play multiple characters, not just one, and often spend time making/playing builds based on your gear, not just hoping for gear for the build you were making.

So, play classes that you dont like to progress?
Wut?
