" Midnitecloud wrote: GGG won't make account bound items because "The economy is the most important element of the game." Well i would really love if they made an exception this time :P.However since quest items are acount bind,i really REALLY beleive that at the very least the sacrifise fragments and the new map fragments for uber atziri SHOULD be acount bind.I mean it is literally the new content.This would force greedy super rich players to farm low level areas as much as everyone else,instead of just buying their way in,and then farming for these op uniques https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/417287 - Poutsos Flicker Nuke Shadow	Posted by Poutsos#0458 on Mar 12, 2014, 12:19:55 PM Quote this Post
" Midnitecloud wrote: GGG won't make account bound items because "The economy is the most important element of the game." And how would adding such a high tier of items that'd cost hundreds of Exalts, or a handful of Mirrors, be good for the economy? It'd throw things out of whack, and make the rich richer, and the poor poorer, skewing the economy. As well as promoting/incentivizing RMT. I think adding high-tier Bind on Account Gear would actually be GOOD for the economy. EA IGN: We_Have_Monk_at_Home Burnt out and waiting for either PoE1 League or new PoE2 Classes.

" But the player base had drop so much from this patch, most people just vaal orb to destroy their item and leave, so they posted these op items hoping the current limited playerbase will not leave the game. Love this quote. So true. Every patch is worse than the one before it. I don't know how nobody brought their 5 yo into work on Bring Your Kid to Work Day, for that 5 year old to listen to these ideas and punch holes right through them. I lost half of my guild to Vaal Orbing. Destroy a few uniques and leave. That's it. Don't bother posting on the forums, it's filled with whiteknight trolls. And then they nerf leech and add these gloves, YET ANOTHER ITEM NONE OF US NORMALS WILL EVER SEE. STOP IT!! JUST STOP MAKING PATCHES!! STOP ADDING "CONTENT" THAT JUST NERFS US AND MAKES RMT EVEN WORSE!! YOU ARE CLEARLY NOT DOING IT RIGHT!!

I'm not saying BoA is bad. I personally hate the economic simulator that POE has become but GGG doesn't care about anything but the economy. There is a reason why they don't want a SFL, BoA, and why the trading system has taken well over a year to implement. They built the game around this economy and they don't want anything to ever harm it.	Posted by Midnitecloud#6176 on Mar 12, 2014, 12:48:15 PM Quote this Post

It also is usually achieved by the most efficient means. If the best method to secure your company's wealth is by catering your product to a small, but rich elite, then this will be done. I'm very sure PoE makes its real money with tons of microtransactions, bought by a large amount of players, not with the small rich elite. And i don't see any kind of "role model advertizing" involved.

I like the idea of awesome uniques waiting out there, to give me something challenging to do with a 90+ character. In the meantime, I've thoroughly enjoyed the new strongboxes in Ambush. Running into Nemesis rares in Ambush is interesting (even found Inner Treasure), and while Vaal areas are really hard, they make an interesting challenge. No slap in the face here. :) And may the mods be ever in your favor.	Posted by Roccandil#7164 on Mar 12, 2014, 12:49:42 PM Quote this Post

This encounter is set up to be nearly impossible. The only people who will ever get this far is a team of professional gamers working together with only this goal in mind. It wont be fun. It will be work. After they do this, and the items enter the economy, expect to trade for them or buy them against the rules for real money.. That will be your only access to them. You wont get them through casual play.	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Mar 12, 2014, 1:20:51 PM Quote this Post
