Feedback from playing SSF: Exalted Orbs and Chaos Orbs are too rare.

There is not a whole lot I can say about this...

Exalted Orbs need to drop far more frequently, in my opinion. Consider the fact that you are typically using up to three of these per item, and that does not even guarantee a decent item, and you start to need a lot of them. One of the developers has said in the past something along the lines of "If players are not using Exalted Orbs in acts, we have failed..." and to that I can fairly confidently say I will likely no longer be using Exalted Orbs in acts because they are not common enough.

Chaos Orbs are nowhere near as common as they should be. I'm thinking they need to be buffed TREMENDOUSLY. They are currently rarer than Alchemy Orbs when they should be more common than Exalted Orbs, or even almost as common as Orbs of Augmentation, in my opinion. Consider that Chaos Orbs are a GAMBLING currency, you could throw one Chaos Orb on an item and ruin it, or you could throw one hundred of them on an item and end up with nothing of value at all. These don't need to be anywhere near as rare as they are and should instead be one of the most commonly used crafting currencies in the absence of any better crafting options.

Now I realize that someone can and will likely say, "They are fine if you are juicing your maps with X/Y/Z" but personally I think it makes more sense to buff drops at their baseline so that players can still find and use them outside of maps, and instead nerf busted juicing strategies so that they are not required to enjoy the game. That is all I will say on that subject.

Please consider, and thank you for reading.
