"Frustration with RNG and Game Balance: Is This Fun or Just a Grind?" 10% play 90% thinking

Is this supposed to be a game to enjoy or an endless project?

People come here to play, relax, and relieve stress. But the strategy in this game feels poorly designed. The item randomization system is extremely frustrating — it doesn’t even give a 1% chance to get the type of items you're actually looking for.

The luck-based mechanics are terrible, and honestly, the developers need to seriously reconsider their approach.

It's frustrating to grind for special currencies, only to never even come close to the item you want. If luck plays such a huge role, then clearly something is wrong with the balance of the game.

it s balanced around trade. so if you gain
10% useful and 90% useless, you sell the 90% for sth useful

"It's frustrating to grind for special currencies, only to never even come close to the item you want"

So... yeah you can complete T16 content on a sub 5 div budget idk what you're on about here.

If you're not relaxing or having fun while playing maybe it's not the game for you.

There are so many Div/PerH strategies out there with absolutely minimal investment aside from maybe a mage blood the barrier to entry for mid-tier farming is so low.

"minimal investment aside from maybe a mage blood"

Yeah that statement almost made me spit out my morning coffee.

This is what happens when GGG gives us one league for 11 months: everyone loses their minds.

i mean, loot ship brings me 4 mir shards on top of other crap and magebloods are cheap due to rogue exile farmers, i get like 2 magebloods from doing diddly doo.

they literally mailing us magebloods now.

so people don't hold a mageblood as a chase prestige item anymore. Cos it's not.

Recombinated rares, reflected heist jewellery - this is where value is at.

Neat?

Did you not read any of this thread? Because your post makes zero sense within the context of the discussion: the guy saying "all you need is a mageblood" said it in response to OP saying they can't get enough currency to get the item(s) they want.

If they have a mageblood, they already have enough currency to get the item(s) they want.

You sound like you enjoy the model of d4. Which poe isn't it.

The "thinking" steadily goes down as you get more experienced. This is true of ALL games and ALL skill development.
