Loot Drops are unrewardingly low

Loot in this game is really bad. Worse than 0.1. IDK why GGG is doing this in an ARPG but it's going to backfire on them when a lot of people quit.
"a couple useable rares for really low levels"

Holy, what the fuck? Those shouldn't even drop at all in maps. Every piece of gear should drop relative, or around relative, to the area level. Like, let's say a piece of body armour in a level 67 area. That piece should be "Required Level: 60" up to level 67.

That needs fixing as well as the drops.

Sorry misspoke. They are rares of the map level. The tiers are all just extremely low for the content in most cases.
i'm not kidding you guys i was literally playing when it happened, i was feeling fine and great mapping getting nice drops, like 2 ex and stuff every map, then i went for 5 maps in a row with no ex/alch/chaos. thats 30~minutes of constant blasting of packs, and as i kept playing longer and longer and went from 20ex/hour in currency to 2-4ex i started holding the button to disable loot filter on my screen and i noticed that almost all rares just droped 3 piles of gold over 500 and 1 white item and 1 blue.

it looks like all wisdom scrolls to turned into augment/transmute and all other currency drops turned into gold

personally i'd say it's a bug but idk if ggg knows.

Very unfun right now. I waited until today to start this patch after the epic sh1tstorm feedback. After their panic patches nerfing mob health it doesnt seem to be TOO hard anymore (i'm in A3) but the lack of loot while leveling is anti-fun. The only real difficulty I'm encountering is gear checks because I havent found literally any new equipment to use in 4 hours.

I always marveled how in POE1 I could use level 8 gear all the way up to maps and thought it was the dumbest design ever and I'm astounded they still haven't figured it out. There is a balance between loot explosions and "rare but meaningful loot". You haven't found it yet. Do better.

Anyway I used the single exalt I found to buy a dusk vigil to use with ember fisullade only to tragically find out it's completely bricked due to a bug GGG has still not acknowledged since the release of the patch. Bummmmmmeerrr see you guys on LE S2.

IDK who this "they" is but I can guarantee you it was no one upset about the current state of the game in here. Maybe that Mash guy who doesn't understand the point of a feedback forum and thinks its the general forum

Not really. In 0.1.0, the complaint was that too many rare items were dropped, so with limited inventory space and that "ground loot" was designed to be "more meaningful", it created a situation many disliked.
You technically have to pick up all rares and ID them because you could miss a good item (base to... "craft" on), so you spend unfun/unengaging time in your maps managing stuff OR you ignore most of it, but get the full FOMO.
Now, in 0.2.0, currency drops are the major complaint and aside from currency rarely dropping until you hit higher tier maps - even rares are too rare now... it's not pretty much the same. There has to be a middle ground.

How is the items worth more now? Before it was 500:1 ex to div and an astramsntis went for like 350div now it's 50:1 and they go for 35div.
