PoE games were made to counter the more "casual" style gameplay that the Diablo series has adopted. The game (PoE) is heavily built around trade and not participating will make for a challenging time to a first time gamer. While D3/4 ignore the trade aspect and allow drops to rain more frequent, the items dropped are still complained about. This game is meant for people that want risk to gain reward, while the other is meant for people that don't want risks and just get rewarded. Doesn't matter when bots exist, my dude. BTW, the drops in this game are garbage as well, so I don't understand your point.	Posted by Assababud#2808 on Mar 2, 2025, 2:03:57 PM Quote this Post
GGG is very stingy with loot and currency drops. Thats how they get you to play more and keep playing. What they dont realize is that when the gap becomes too big for what you want and what's attainable, most people will quit. Most mid gear is doable and you dont actually need over 20 divs to complete a build. However, inflation and later in the game it can become harder for newer players to catch up.

Gotta farm shit I don't care about for a pittance towards making or buying that +50pdps bow. Whoop-tee-do. I miss my unique-only POE1 build. Was fun sitting back and looking at hundreds of uniques to make a build viable, then seeing it work. Hate how much POE2 is like POE1 beta.

With Div being 4x higher than a month ago, new players joining this game just actually cannot afford to ever get anything close to end game gears because the ex they pick up is worthless. Given the rate of how someone is picking up D nowadays and how anything decent is at least 1 to 2 Div and up, players who are new to trading is gonna get smashed so hard....

" Avaruus#6657 wrote: People with follow bots or leechers "friends" with rarity gear and gloves can drop more T0 Uniques in day than you can drop divines. It's great thing to play a game where cheaters have all and normal players have none. GG(G) That's not cheating that's just the way GGG designed the game, everything is also harder to kill and has more life/damage mitigation. That said a good character blows through everything regardless cuz the game is easy af.	Posted by Rakie1337#5746 on Mar 5, 2025, 10:37:16 PM Quote this Post
