Stop turning everything into an Orb.

From Jun/poe1 veiled orbs and now this, "double corrupt" also an orb.

All you're gonna get is big boys flipping them, manipulating prices. I thought the goal here is to give players more power? Now people should stay in hideout more? Don't you remember someone owning 90% of hinekora locks? (google if you don't know). How is this good for the economy and players?

We should have less orbs and more service. Of course there's the scam issue, but if you can make "expedition vote" (poe1) you can also make a "service bench". (people are still passing mirrors to providers, and i even saw fub's client got scammed).

Service adds friendship/interaction and "jobs". It's more fun. Orbs only make the game more isolated than it already is.

With this level of poor decision-making consistency, I guess GGG will eventually restrict offline trading, giving us an even worse gaming experience; this will result in a player base that only levels up to Act 3 and then quits the game, spending all day watching streamers struggle to upgrade a single item, which I suspect is the ultimate goal of this toxic vision.

Well, woolie make him sound like a saint at start, but I don't know if I can feel that way at all having previously invested. (First hander)

But yeah, I like classic poe1 alva/jun(before orb). Things should require effort and be less accessible. It makes the game more fun for more people. The more people stay, the longer the game lasts.

I stand firm. Orbs are bad.

Heist is great even if i don't play it. People have to work to get certain things there. People should work to get something rewarding. Not spam orbs.

Eldritch crafting -- i hate it too. Horrible. Crafting should require some effort and getting rare stuff from different sources. Not full-on hideout crafting like how some streamers incl fub are doing now. In poe1 at least theres beast, harvest etc, few mechanics. Even old harvest is good coz EFFORT is required.

Buying stuff from exchange and crafting without effort is BAD.

I'll also add boss fragments are bad. There should be some effort required like (old jun mastermind) for special rewards. What do people do here? Buy fragments, 0 movespeed, spam bosses. This slows down the game, instead, lol. they reduce movespeed and mobility and annoy people. Why not just make things less accessible which slows down the game far more than movespeed, and it wouldn't annoy people.

But no one respects my input.

I personally respect your input and that's why I'm commenting here.

I think the fact that I have to collect currencies or orbs one by one by clicking on the ground instead of just sending them to my paid currency stash tab when I walk over them shows that GGG doesn't have any plan to develop their games in a futuristic way. But that's coming from someone who enjoys the Scourge mechanics more than anything else in PoE; which wasn't very popular with most other players as a league mechanic. Because people like gambling and spamming currencies, it gives them a dopamine-addictive value, while we like progression.

Why do you rant?

You still can do that 'service', nobody stops you

There is no more service. They are orbs now. And you're missing the point.

Not, there is a choice: orb OR service.

Do your service if you prefer.

I don't think you understand what sort of service I'm referring to. So don't participate in my thread anymore.

Nah, this is public thread

And aslo I prefer LESS contacting with other players (services) and MORE - with offline trade (orbs)

So I WILL fight against orthodoxers.

GGG love orbs. They even made 4 on Atziri.
