This game has a similar problem as d3- it's impossible to get good items without trading

If your point of comparison is the items you see posted in trade chat or on the forums, of course the stuff you find by yourself won't seem as good. It is literally imposible for the gear you find on your own to compare favorably to the best gear of the entire aggregated playerbase. To expect that comparison to be anything but lopsided is ludicrous.

Take price into consideration. Compare to items worth less or around exalt, which is afffordable by most players.

I don't think anybody expects to find 25 exalts worth item just after the next corner this evening

But at this point in the default economy, there are tons of really good pieces of gear for very, very cheap. I have a bunch of items in my 1 alch bargain bins that are very good by self found standards, just because the economy is so flooded with such items by now. So comparing self found gear to gear you can trade for based on price doesn't really work.

The problem with this game is you are playing an MMO.

Um...no.
We're playing an ARPG with public trading, and the novelty option of grouping.

So long as there is a public market, whether you like it or not, you are effectively in an MMO marketplace. The drops are designed to reflect this.

All you're doing is using semantics to categorize an ARPG as an MMORPG.
6 people in a group with instanced towns of a dozen isn't an mmo, and the ability to trade doesn't magically change the genre either.

Well, this finally looks like something found in Solaris Temple, not somewhere on Ledge
