Would you support a 6L Orb that cost X fusings?

Yep, sounds like a winning quality of a good game to me.

Hey, I do enjoy a fair amount of frustration in my games. It makes the victories meaningful.

Enjoy the mud. It must be a terrible place.

your high horse is trying to feel superior to someone in correcting their spelling and overall, being a complete prick.

enjoy the single life, it must be a terrible place.

I reserve grammar and spelling checks for when someone is taking a shit on a reasonable idea. Bullies need to be brought down a peg.

It's a shame you haven't met more reasonable people.

I'm actually quite friendly to reasonable folks that are willing to discuss things in an at-all-adult way :P.

That's a fair opinion to have.

Might I ask why you don't think leveling should be RNG-based? :) (If you have that opinion)

Depends on what you find as a leveling process.

I find this map system degenerate to the maximum, PoE is the very first game where you had to be extremely lucky or wealthy in order to level efficiently (playing high end maps instead of 70 lvl maps to hit 100th level).

D2 had it right there, what an excellent idea: /players X, if you can handle harder content, then you should be able to progress faster.

So, we're not talking about build strengths (6L, etc...), we're talking about ones basic leveling progress, which is denied by luck.

Absolute garbage right there.

Frustration as a result of not having the knowledge/skill to achieve a given goal, sure. Frustration because you didn't get the desired result out of the random number generator after trying 800 times is the wrong sort, IMO.

[edit: wording]

[edit again]

I will say, though, that in the current system, chancing/alching/chaosing something actually useful is a good feeling, probably made all the better by the rarity of the occurrence.

I do wish Eternals were a lot more common, though, so I could try to 'craft' more without making my gear unusable.
