over 425 hours played, found 4 exalts

I'm dying over here.

425 hours played? I've got in the vicinity of 2000 hours played and I've seen 2 exalts.

Is that true, 2000 hours of active play? Than how many characters did you delete? If I look at the leveled characters OP has compared to your the OP would have far more playtime, but it is hard to estimate as I don't know of either one of you, whether or not characters have been deleted.

With my amount of playtime I only found 3 exalts. For getting to 80 this is fine though, but being one of the more interesting orbs to craft with it does kind of suck. My epitome of crafting has been the regal experience despite using two exalts to craft. I find the crafting system very interesting, I could do with far less item drops if that means more orb drops and getting to actually craft. That is just me though, in general I think more items suit people better, because direct item drops is less complex than crafting in PoE. I guess it makes the game more accessible.

Some people delete their old characters when they don't want to play them anymore, was even more true when the bandit respec was impossible. Keeping a never ending list of them is mildly annoying. I deleted four 80+ myself.

I don't feel like logging in all my characters to check my playtime, but I've played for 9.5 months between CB/OB/Release, so let's say 2 hours per day, 30 days per month, so 480 hours? Hmm, seems low, maybe I will check later. Keep in mind Oz, when looking at characters for people that were here for CB you can't always go by current levels. My character Archwizard was (I think, Gorsomm may have been) my first, but is currently sitting at level 1 with I'm sure a crapton of playtime.

I haven't gotten a single Exalted Orb in that whole time.

My normal shadow alone has 400 hours on him. And I've deleted at least a dozen characters in their 50s (which generally take me about 10-15 hours to do each). Oh and my 200 hours on closed beta.

I have had 6 exalts drop in the new leagues since realease, around 300 hours of gameplay. And about 14 total (1 was ninja'ed, but it was a friendly incident :P) since CB, around 1000 hours of gameplay.

Also 1 eternal, since they were introduced. Now those are a bitch to get...

Anyway, drops alone wont make you rich

PS. I actually take screenshots of exalt drops. Will make an album someday, maybe :P

When I calculated the 425 I only used existing characters, 1 from standard, 5 from anarchy (though I had deleted a 6th from act III merci to remake in Dom), and 3 from Dom. I didn't bother including chrs that were less than lvl 30. So It is probably more in the 450 hour range. I don't go afk in town too much so the vast majority of that is playtime. Also I guess I will note that I play predominately solo, and 3 of my 4 exalt drops were found soloing.
