so because you happy flipping items all day then it should stay that way? Perhaps if u stepped out your room for 2 seconds you might see the light

Of course it should be that way! If I play the game and use TIME on it, I should be rewarded accordingly, AS IS THE CASE.
Somebody is just mad because he can't get the best of the best items with a snap of a finger. Now do us all a favor and go back to the D3 forums where you came from.

I think we need a POE specific Godwin's law. With time, all discussions achieve 100% chance to invoke Diablo 3.
Diablo 3 is literally (POE's) hitler.

To me it just seems none wants to adapt to games anymore. It seems everyone wants a game that fits his own personal tastes, or else is crap. This imo is not only wrong, but just impossible.

Well, with time all discussions are also invoking a "change" to the game according to the OP's or other posters personal tastes; then these tastes are condivided/argued by others.

In 900 hours across 2 accounts (my old one was hacked) I have found:

1 searing touch
1 kaom's primacy
1 le heup ring
1 meginord's girdle

6 exalts
2 divines

and a huge pile of useless crap. All of my gear is 4-linked.


The drop rates are absurd. I don't know why I do this to myself. There are much better ways to waste time.

Then you go and do those other ways. Let us who are fine with the game and droprates and everything enjoy it as it's supposed to be enjoyed. Stop trying to change the game to your personal needs when it's not gonna happen.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the drop rates and I'm self found so that's saying something but I am curious how you perceive GGG releasing all these uniques that you'll probably never get to see drop for yourself. Doesn't that on some level make those new uniques then feel like an empty gesture?

So long as PoE remains as unrewarding as it is, it will not attract as many players as it could, simply because the gameplay is not fulfilling enough. Still a great game, but you need to go no-lifer just to get the very basic items required for a properly competitive build, and that is where many lose interest.

It takes around 1.5k+++ hours before you have completed the circle of just feeling one character has reached near completion to the point you are satisfied and want to try something else because of that.

Due to that raw time restriction, very few players get to experience more than a very few builds to a satisfying level of their potential, and so being restricted to a small part of the game's potential it is less interesting, in particular when it is a game focused around freedom of choice.

Only flippers, people who do not care about constantly selling their items on all characters so that they can focus their entire wealth on one character while gaming nonstop, those who play in full organized groups and those who spend every waking hour of their time on poe get to experience the fullness of the game.

That is why PoE has so low player numbers in a genre we know has potential for many times greater player bases.

Eh? It is pretty obvious that we have entirely different ideas of how to enjoy ARPG's. Having next to nonexistant droprates for uber endgame is great for me, it gives me a long-term goal to reach.

Oh people adapt. The questions though are: Is the game "fine"? Yes. Could it be better? Also "Yes". Am i allowed to voice my concerns about what i don´t like or what i think would be better for the game, in the forum? Again "Yes". So what´s your point?
