And then people are wonderen why ppl are quiting PoE? Who would want to play in a pyramid scheme for fun?

I can have fun with a searing bond build or something budget shit.
Just need some friend and teamspeak.
Atziri items/content not mandatory for having fun.

It is though. Without fragment farmers the system would break down.

I've found about 95% of my fragments throughout the entire experience farming midnight / hope. Farming Rima is just an alternative to making somewhat consistent currency without needing high mf stats.

Well then, what he should have said was..

"Without fragment farmers the system would break down, unless you farm low lvl content ad nauseam, remaking CoS every 2 seconds for a stupid ratio to actual uber running"


It's either a pyramid scheme or a fuck up, or both.

It's not an enjoyable process, can't say I will miss doing it. You aren't forced to take part of it, people just like to do what everyone else is doing. There are many other options.

So if the main focus of an expansion is "not enjoyable" i think that can be called bad game design. And telling people not to do it because its not fun is no excuse for not having it designed in a fun way.

It's ran its course for me. 1000+ apex runs, 12381239112858125 Rima runs. I switch it up, I am not complaining as I can only hold myself responsible. I am just pointing out no one is forced to take part in the midnight farming process.

I think I skipped some of the layers here.
I've been farming midnights and selling them
I've been than buying midnights and got 2 hopes so far
I have not been selling hopes tho
Sadly I don't think I can run Uber, I play melee character and glass cannon one too.
A friend of mine ran my 2 sets, got acuity on the second one BUT I have actually bought the first acuity myself from farmed currency (needles to say I got kinda lucky with linking items. 6L voll's and a pretty good rare armour got me my Acuity).

It is a pyramid but it is not a pyramid scheme or a scheme at all.

It is a class pyramid. The poor and lesser geared people farm the midnights, the middle class buy the midnights and farm the hopes, the upper class farm uber.

It is profitable for everyone. It is a good system for everyone. This system is a product of the free market and is proof that GGG has a firm grip on how to make a dynamic virtual economy.
