Pretty much

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.

And this is why i stopped playing 0.2 after getting one toon to early maps. No loot and above all no currency to tinker the tiny amount of rares mby could be upgrade. I would have never imagined to play aRPG or even POE2 as new game where there is no basic stuff like decent amount ot loot or currency if not lucky with intial rolls.

I put here my toon collected ALL currency i got since start of campaign. Tracking all the dropped currency. Mind you i used 6 exalts to buy one needed unique. Rest went to tinker few items. In other games when you get to end game i have enough currency to tinker ANY gear item i want or need to improve. But not here atm.

Literally no one did that

Edit: while this may look good, this is from legit almost 1000 maps and 40/40 atlas points done. Loot is garbage.

Lol 1 perfect jewelers orb is straight up evil after that amount of play.

I love that we all have the pilferer's ring so that it backs up the claims of very little currency drops. Now i personally, have no where near the playtime as many of you do, but the drops havent been that great at all. All my upgrades are coming from the gambler.

I swear i heard a claim from the Devs that was something along the lines of "everyone should be slammin exalts through out the campaign ..."

Yea... sure thing. Slammin exalts huh? Even if someone got 10-20 in the campaign, the nature of the exalt is to basically fuck over 95% of your potential gear upgrades to begin with, granting all sorts of shit and or useless mods.

I mean, realistically, if people are supposed to be (haha) "slammin" exalts, why isnt there a decent supply for 'everyone' without all this horseshit trade, which btw, is right on par with the same design POE1 has used all these years, keepin the RMT crowd absolutely delighted.

You can fix that problem of low drops by spending the money you might spend on cosmetics or other offers by GGG on RMT instead. Game will be f2p, do not pay GGG and RMT to fix loot problems.
Clearly GGG wants that, they are in direct competition with bots due to the game having no crafting or target farming.

RMT instead

I'd rather spend the money on their competitors and play those games. I hate RMT with a passion.

In my experience the loot was great for the first 3 or 4 days then they turned it down and im bearly getting anything now. Had 1 div drop and that was on day 3, also on day 3 I got a perfect and a greater orb. Finding all the new loot boxes every 2 or 3 maps. Now with greatly increased gear rarity and quantity on all towers stacked, running juiced t15 maps im grinding all day and getting nothing.

They turned down the loot and it sux. I dont even think rarity even matters or makes a difference. They turn it up or down when they feel like it.

The loot drop rate is very very bad, I almost don't get any regal or exalted orbs.
So, I can't do any upgrade of gear that might be good and/or useful.
Rares that I can use don't drop either, so I'm stuck with the same stuff from level 8/10.
This isn't good or helping the game.

Even bought a few gear pieces with the '% Increase rarity of items found' don't notice any difference...
I btw don't like this is needed on gear where I actually need resistance and attacks stats on.

Please look into a fix for this, GGG.
I like PoE 2, but this is making it frustrating to play.

Thanks in advance,
