Item drop rate is too high

Don't pick them up if its too much loot for u
100% xD
A quick public announcement for those who think drop rates are too high and want to go back to "less items".

No one makes you pick things up. Someone in the community, make a "I'm a Hardcore Andy" loot filter that hides most things, and stop picking it up.

This applies to if you think the game is going too fast, you choose when you go to the next zone.

You choose whether you use that skill gem to level up a skill, you choose what gear you wear.

So exercise a little willpower.

The opposite is much harder right. People cannot choose to have more loot drop, if it doesnt drop. They cannot choose to have a faster experience, if its not already available.

I strongly ask the devs, please add in multiple difficulty levels for those who lack the self control to play the game they way they want to play it, and need someone to enforce it on them.

For everyone else, make choices that suit you and provide you with the most fun.
I'm done buying anything until we get some clarity on the future of POE1 and POE2 and I know GGG plans to spend effort on a game I want to play.

Tell us if POE1 still has your top tier support or if POE2 will get a mode for more casual play.
Things were tight but I managed to find enough rares, between buying from vendors, crafting, and looting. I'm worried about how it looks now... might need to actually start filtering soon.

You're attempting to apply logic to something it doesn't apply to (human emotions). If the game feels bad to play, it simply feels bad to play. If you're going to do that, keep applying the same logic, and do not play the game at all because it is pointless. It'd be like telling you to just close your eyes and pretend you're playing a great game right now. It's stupid, so you should probably stop spamming that message all over the place.
Sadly GGG said they won't give us ruthless mode, yet ignore us Ruthless / original PoE vets off rip and fold from one weekend of forum/reddit spam complaints.
It does seem like they overreacted.

Getting like 2 uniques at once from an act boss seems pretty fishy.

Most likely it was enough to adjust only orbs/shards rates and not the rest. Or the adjustment was too big.

No one makes you play PoE2 and not PoE1. So please go play PoE1, it has all the things you require.

There is so much crap dropping - white items from regular mobs. Why? I am not gonna pick them up, I can buy those at vendor. >They only cover screen<, I sometimes accidentally pick them up. Gosh do I really have to deal with item filters? I want to play the game, not tweak item filter (all respect for neversink). It wouldn't be so bad, If I could click a few checkboxes in game to hide certain item types based on rarity and base (see Grim Dawn/Last Epoch). It breaks the immersion.
People complaining about drop rates being too good....

yet they stack magic find and juice their maps.


....Cool. I guess the rest of the game should suck so you can hyper juice without getting 5 rares to drop.

I like the way you think about this, instead of saying "OMG change it back!" you are talking about options to make it self-managed.

Moar Choice!

I like the option to be able to say "Stop showing me white items".

The thing is, we have that ability already, its called item filters. It's more work, and what they really need to be doing is getting the basic item filter integration with the website like POE1 has so that there can be several "vanilla" item filters that people can choose, or they can elect to subscribe to others. I expect they will implement that in the future. At least, that would sort of make sense given that it already exists in POE1 and so its not a total deadlift to implement, more of a port.
