In short, without trading from the external site the game is unplayable... but people don't wanna admit it because god forbid we admit that GGG has made a horrible game...


Because the last time you looted something from the ground and used it was about 3 weeks ago... the game simply doesn't have loot... PERIOD!!!

People play ssf.

How does SSF, solve the issue of.. bad loot?

I'm SSF outside of using currency exchange. I trade every divine for exalts and can burn through 120 in minutes with no upgrades. Crafting needs work. So many dead mods for casters and it seems to spam them.

I think Poe2 needs more tutorials.
-How to socket items
-Inserting Runes(for resistance, increased armor, etc)
-What orbs do
-And a lot more

Could possibly solve some of the problems OP has.

It is a "big" system for sure. As I'm a first timer it took me a while to figure what is what in the currencies and what they're doing, having tooltips doesn't mean that you understand it, not until you try it haha ( and for some I'm still curious as I haven't even found them yet ).

So yes PoE 1 players would find this way easier I suppose than new ones like myself. It has its learning curve but ok it's not an encyclopedia either.

To the OP's post though I also had to farm a bit a couple of areas in act 3 ( cruel ) before I could properly do maps, in order to both over-level and grab some extra passive points and find some gear, maybe because of my ignorance as I didn't know how to prepare also, sure, but the game and the drops where not really helping either to be fair ( especially if you went my way not following any guides and just doing whatever came to mind for a build ).

I'm pretty sure this will eventually not be the case though when we have all of the actual acts in place :) . Should be a lot smoother overall.

Bro.... send me a message, let me know what your current stats are lacking for res. If you are playing standard, I can probably scrounge up some stuff to help you out, I play monk and have some extra quarterstaffs and random rings and loot etc. I don't have a ton of chaos res gear, you might still need to sort that out.
