The loot is perfect. You're just used to instant gratification in games. The downside to that is then you make the loot super casual then you have to implement vertical progression cycles to keep people engaged because they've run out of things to do because you can face roll your way to reaching all of your goals in 1 week. Adjust your expectations and realize that the good things in life are worth waiting for, and enjoy the journey. Back in the day all online games were like this, and the fact that they're not is a large part of the reason all online games are shit now. I pray they wont cater to instant gratification crowed and make this game easier.
The loot is far from perfect and you seem to be downplaying a lot of criticism in other topics, i hope they nerf a lot of the bosses and boost the loot drops because right now it's terrible.

Well that's your opinion, but the truth is people who are upset are just a lot more vocal. That's the concept of "vocal minority", in reality there are many people who are happy with the current state of loot, including the people who made the game. After all, they made it that way.

What they made is a mess, but will inevitably change later down the road. You will find that there is a lot of people complaining about the loot not just on here. I'm done responding anyway.

The ppl who get happy are the ppl who got lucky. The difficulty feels fine for all players that where lucky with loot and picked the right skills.
The loot is generally bad. If i look at boss fights i had bosses dropping a bunch of gold and a white item. I didnt encounter a single one where i had the feeling "this guy might drop some good stuff, lets farm him". Its underwelming across the board, especially in tandem with the high difficulty and spongy enemies that make certain item combinations very desireable.

People don't want the game to be easier, they just want to be rewarded for playing it.
Killing the Cruel Act 1 boss and getting 3 white items and a blue, plus a regal shard is not at all rewarding.
Considering during one of the interviews Jonathan literally said, bosses should be rewarding. Well they aren't.

While I disagree with most haters, I need to agree that the loot balance is an area that might need more work. The main issue is that when your drop coutn is so low, any modertely bad sequence of drops might result on you passign half an act with a very inferior weapon. So I hope they add somethign to reduce that risk .. like some adaptative system that checks if you are too behind curve on weapon, you get a tad more weapon drops.

Totaly agree. We dont need lower difficulty we just need a gear to progress with.
Honestly this is it, I've experienced this problem in PoE1 before and they fixed the loot and the game went from a 3/10 to a 9/10. It is literally game changing
Most other aspects of the game are fantastic. Id love to see focus on the loot because it's a primary problem right now for many people

Sadly have to agree and situation is that bad that feeling to "stop play" is very strong :-(
While game is perfect, difficult, without loot is progress even slower

I agree I'm fine with the difficulty and how the game is slower. Those aspects are actually great

Spot on.
No loot to progress isn't great game design, I don't care how good it looks or sounds.
Just watch Ziz's act 1 video and count how many rares drop for him. Hint: It's a LOT!
About 4-5x as many that dropped for me (4). Sometimes he gets 2-3 at a time drop wtf? Of course he's loving the game, he's able to FEEL strong!
Us with no loot and hours of grinding to even get a regal or a rare feel stupid for even playing the game.
