D3's logic in POE

Drop "quality" is relative, it depends on what items you are comparing your drops to. Buffing drop rates would not make you move closer to players you you compare your gear with

loot/crafting works fine for solo selffound (if you know what you are doing :))

this is the biggest bullshit that I have ever read!

1. you are uneducated
2. the opposite is true


1. You dont seem to understand that if better loot dropped frequently you would not consider it as "better" anymore after a short period of time. As anyone has the better loot and can get it easily from drops or cheap in trades the treshold of what you think is better loot would just move upwards.

Resulting from this:

2. People would get maxed out on gear far more easily and stop playing the game much quicker as there is nothing to obtain anymore.

Resulting from this:

You have a quite uneducated opinion cause otherwise you would have gotten to these conclusions yourself.

Please keep the uneducated part to yourself.

I assume you have an MMO background where your arguments apply quite well.
Extending the life of a game using scarcity tactics is not acceptable any more.

I think you don't understand what POE has to offer. The complexity, build diversity and skill combinations are more than enough to keep players wanting to play more and try new things.

POE doesn't need to hide the lack of content behind any artificial barriers. POE has a lot of content. I just want access to it in a reasonable amount of time.

PS -- i'm not referring specially on the loot part. Crafting should be good. Imagine if you could roll with acceptable cost any type of color combination on any type of gear. This will be an RNG nerf, but i don't see how this can make more people quit the game faster.

PoE not only has much better loot than Diablo 3, grinding for it is more fun as well. Where D3 drops were 99% crap, PoE rewards me with a breadcrumb trail of goodies every time I play. I'm also not spoiled on trading for awesome gear; the stuff I find and craft is good but it doesn't overpower my character.

Seriously, PoE's items rock--the comparison to D3 is ludicrous.

You must be playing a completely different game then if you were able to acquire so many 'good' gears after playing less than a month.

Veteran players know there are very strict requirements for a gear to be good at high level, and it takes incredibly luck to get a couple of them with good roll range on a single gear because there are so many junk affixes and no floor on what level of affixes you can get no matter your item level.

No, there's no "Very strict" requirements for gear at end game. You don't need mirror worthy items to kill Dominus and start mapping. You can PLAY THE GAME JUST FINE with just self found items or minimal trading. Trading will push your character to another level but you're not by default entitled to that level. You can play self-found and beat the content just fine. If you want to get stronger than that, 1 shotting everything and raping lvl 78 map bosses, then you need to trade. Just imagine what would happen if you can do all of these awesome things by just farming low maps for a couple weeks, game will die because nothing has any value anymore and game survives on the joy of grinding for gear.

Pretty much everything I own is self found. I made 1 trade for a piece of gear, and it was for my Deerstalkers. Ive bought a couple MultiTraps with Chaos ive found, and ive sold an Exalt I found.

I find a lot of stuff...I mean its not game breaking stuff most of the time but its good mid tier stuff at any rate. One thing I find is a lot of Gems...A lot. I have So many copies of Frostbite I could make even the most weathered Canuck shiver.

Probably because he has allot of good items to sell, if you can't find any good loot check out my shop updated daily :P

All my gear pretty much was self found except for 1 or two items i traded for.
