playing d3 ros right now its good and fun POE boring and useless junk drop and retard map grind

d3 ros kills poe

I also play D3 RoS atm and have to say it is boring. I find a legendary and I don't feel any excitement. I basically never feel any excitement when finding gear because it is so easy to find it.

In PoE when something good drops I freak out.

Please go.

Bro, I played this game like crazy from day 1 open beta was released. I have found 5 exalted orbs, one andvarius (2ex) and one maligaro gloves (2ex). Yes I was happy when they dropped but for 1+year to have like 10 ex worth of drops ?

I had about 800 exalted before I quit - all from flipping so that I can gear myself. This means that I ripped people off and made profit! Example - I bought a rare shield for 9 exalt and sold it for 45 exalt or I bought a wand for 4.5 exalt and sold it for 16 eternal - things like that. This sometimes made me feel sad for the people I bought the items from and made me feel guilty, not happy.

I once ripped someone off and he realized it - do you know how disappointed he was and how much he was begging me to return the item? This is what the drop level in the game made me do and I am being totally serious about it!!! I do not know a single person who has money and gear who has not acquired them by flipping. The others did it with RMT. No one who had good gear had it dropped which in a looting game is pretty ridiculous.

In RoS you can actually find stuff and be happy, not rip people off and be happy that you have - you don't spend all day stalking on noobs...

Don't let me start on the map system - this was created only for currency sink and to keep the economy restricted but at the end of the day it fucks up long time players.

I also stopped playing PoE because of performance issues like tinko says - in RoS I do not have any problems and the graphics are like 10 times better. Also Blizzard made the game more "gothic" and it actually is very reminiscent of diablo2 and poe in terms of atmosphere - no bright colors any more!

In conclusion I would like to say that the numerous nerfs on drop rates, builds, passive skills, items, the endless grind to find upgrades that never drop put me off this game.

I am very sad this is happening because I love GGG and the game as a whole, I still check news and feedback section on forum every day in hopes GGG would change the game and make it better.

This post is unfortunately 100% true.

Every high level player pretty much buys his gear with money they get from playing the econ game (lots of selling, often at gouging prices off of people who are desperate for the specific stats they have), and very little of it from actually upgrading gear from drops they find themselves.

It's a systemic problem with the game and it's driving players away. To argue that "hardcore" players want to play slot machines or flappy birds over and over is kind of silly. This game does not have a bigger popular of hardcore players than any other decent, semi-successful online game.
