General Discussion - exa and regal orbs... Why are they so rare? - Forum

" FirefoxG wrote: I would actually try to craft stuff if both were 5 or 10x less rare. I've found 3 exa and maybe 10 regal in well over a 1000 hours of play, most of which was played with 100+ iiq. For all that time, i can craft just a single item using the alt regal exa method.. which just doesn't seem right. I know they are used as a trading medium, and a change in drop rate would just mean that high end items just go up vs exa which is fine since they are meant to be rare... but I have found more high end uniques then I have exa... it just doesn't feel right. The inherent value they provide does not match the rarity.imo... especially regal orbs What is the justification behind why they are so rare when their ultimate purpose is to be used for crafting? your thoughts? I'm beginning to believe GGG may own some of these rmt sites. That's why they keep them rare.	Posted by Deleted on May 12, 2013, 7:00:14 PM
Ahh you only have one problem, for some reason you are using works like "crafting" This game has no crafting system, what this game has is a gambling problem. ;) Last edited by Aspire_Rang#2316 on May 12, 2013, 7:18:42 PM	Posted by Aspire_Rang#2316 on May 12, 2013, 7:18:17 PM Quote this Post

I find it strange to have so few regal orbs, and at least 10x more alch...	Posted by Nursamedic#4148 on May 12, 2013, 7:54:10 PM Quote this Post

I can understand to an extent why exalt is rare, but stuff like regal, blessed, divine aren't really worth a heck of a lot. Well, they are worth a lot but they aren't really respected much in the economy. There's no middle economy. GCPs and Chaos use to be middle economy, but obviously not anymore. GGG listens to its fans!!! Thank you!	Posted by Catchafire2000#0702 on May 12, 2013, 8:21:47 PM Quote this Post
