Oh I was more talking about the drop rates of orbs in general, such as gcps and exalteds which are pretty fine. I've never dropped an eternal myself. Which is ok to me since that orb allows you to create a perfect item.

You don't have materials set aside to build a piece of gear. You have Slot Machine Levers. Some are more expensive to yank than other levers. It's one big slot machine. And I hate it. My gaming comp went down a week ago, and while I've been waiting on the part to arrive, I haven't had a chance to play PoE. I have to tell you, at this point? The only thing I miss is playing my leveling chars. I don't miss the grind of trying to get better gear for my Map running chars, or the frustration of dropping 100's of items on a piece of gear to still end up with something like this While I get ilvl 60+ that drop from rares, or That just randomly drop, while leveling. I should have my comp back up and running, and i'm looking forward to playing. But I have to tell you, if things continue like this through open beta, and into live, I'm just not sure how excited I'm going to be to continue to spend money on the game. And I don't mean that in some douchebag kind of way. Over the 2 accounts in my house, I think we've spent right around 100 bucks (US). I know that it's a drop in the bucket, and I don't think that they'll miss my money, or think that demanding anything will change it. But I'm saying, for me and my son? I just can't see dropping cash on something that is so absolutely random. QFT	Posted by Ishiga25#0612 on Sep 10, 2013, 9:27:59 PM Quote this Post
Eternal orb should have never existed in the game in the fist place. Same with mirror of kalandra, another not needed and "cheating" orb. The creation and implementation of eternal and mirror of kalandra orbs is a huge mistake made by the makers of this game because it allows the creation of all arround perfect items or the exact desired items and making "copies" of these perfect items. It's bad enough for the reasons described above but because these "cheating" orbs are already in the game then at least their drop rate should be way scarcer and not common. OP is grossly mistaken PS. if you see/think nothing is wrong with these kind of topics: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/481645 then I guess we have nothing further to discuss.

Nothing wrong with that. It's standard, you don't expect people to have godly gear after what, 9 months?	Posted by AveiMil#0732 on Sep 11, 2013, 3:08:46 PM Quote this Post
I expect them to have it but without cheating orbs like eternal/mirror. thats all.	Posted by mobutu#5362 on Sep 11, 2013, 3:26:28 PM Quote this Post
While I disagree that there is such a thing as a "cheating" orb, I can see your point on a mirror. if you got lucky enough to get one you could get an amazing item for very little work. Eternals however, do not guarantee anything, they just make the "crafting" process slightly faster. It's rewarding people who play enough to afford them. I can understand why they don't want the game flooded with them, they are a luxury, much like 6 links. Not everyone is supposed to stumble across them every time they play. I would actually like to see a very rare orb that randomly brings one prefix or suffix up a level. Of course then people will cry that you really could make "perfect" items. At some point people playing 500 hours to get one "perfect" item is going to get old, even for no lifers. Maybe make level 90 maps and they only drop there. ;) I can see your / Back is turned and / If I could I'd / Stick my knife in. Crawl Away, TOOL Don't get hacked.
