GGG have no intention of doing neither, it seems.

Drop rates will ALWAYS be too low for someone. You want items to rain on you without any effort taken in gaining them. If you THINK for a second, you'll realize that increasing drop rates works both for REGULAR PLAYERS AND RMT BOTS. Changes nothing - only numbers. And the best one: " expect to have some fun drops including fun currency drops Lol. Dem clown exalts. [Post Edited by Support] Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

This game definitely needs some way of "targeted looting", that would be an alternative of obtaining wanted item X, to chinese goldfarm Dominus and then just buy item X. Or straight RMT.

I've played for about 1.5k to 1.7k hours, at least half of those doing maps. I have yet to see any of those cool 'common' uniques, everybody seem to be using: BoR, Alpha's, Rainbowstrides, Aegis... Do you think about 800hrs of endgame mapping is "enough effort taken"? E: The best drop in this time was a Lioneyes Glare (actually two, but I'm not using even the one. Thanks Jesus) E2: Yes, yes, I know... Sell Lioneyes, buy Alpha's. Shopping is so exciting, I just cant hide it...

" i think they do not care about player frustrations to be honest, they have their lifes and they cant see through eyes of a player who spends 10h a day in their game and expect to have some fun drops including fun currency drops They do check drops on dropgenerators and check high tier players. And here is the problem. [Removed by Support] They guess items have been obtained by trading but the reality is RMT everywhere. RMT currency, RMT maps for level 100 and RMT items. Do you really believe that players can sell 66 maps for 1 chaos? After 2 weeks? Do you really believe players can sell dominus kills in cruel after 1,5 weeks? The answer is no! And if you find a better item and put it into the Tradeforum you will be lowballed with 2 chaos offers.

GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
