GGG since the exploit got widespread adoption u helped the exploiters

So lets get this in order:

1. Players find an exploit in Holten giving them the ability to set up a temple really fast.

2. GGG kind of fixes it by giving you no Crystals when youre very overleveled.

3. People use Low Level Chars for Crystals

4. Holten Circle gets removed - Effectiveness of Monsters gets buffed the same way Maps do

5. Players who have abused Holten Exploit can continue as usual until a couple Hours ago with the increased effectiveness giving them more loot

6. GGG Nerfs Temple building and Loot potential significantly

7. Players who have a well set up temple continue as usual just with less Loot.


Did i get that right? Everything GGG did so far is benefitting the Exploiters?

And please no discussion if its an exploit or not. Because i bet people will post its not an exploit.

"
Edit:
8. Temple destruction of Rooms got nerfed.

9. Revert of Medallion Change.

In the end you still help the Exploiters. You basically opened the Doors for rapid exploit searching and abusing in the game. Cause you communicated there are basically no repercussions for exploiting. This is one of the worst handling of an exploit ive ever seen.

I think 50 years from now we'll still be arguing about what is exploit and what isn't.

i dont think there is point to argue about that.

lets talk about this

WHY AVG TEMLE RUNNERS HAVE 20X TIMES MORE PROFITS THAN AVG MAP RUNNERS.

i want to run maps get my divines buy gear etc. my farm is 30d/day lucky and ~10 unlucky. And i am selling all drop i have.

temple runners have 10 per run unlucky solo. RAW CURRENCY. they also have 3-10 meta uniques just dropped to the floor (like tribal mask).

THOSE streamers or ppl who runs temple and tell me to "just farm omens/essences/etc" MUST answer the question:

HOW. TO. GET. 1500% rarity + 800% eff + 2500% rare mobs on maps.
this is avg legacy temple stats

Why temple runners have 81lvl of mobs while map runner have to corrupt their waystones and lose 80% of it due to rng?

Why temple runners have 0 profitless downsides like "max monster health" or monsters have "999999% more crit chance"

I still can't understand why people so overreact over an early acess videogame. I mean if you sell currency for real money then I understand yes, but I suppose then you shouldn't complain here. Other then this i don't know.

Normally you can get crystals in Holten when your character is no more than 10 levels higher than level of zone, once you more than 10 levels higher - crystals don't spawn.

And only "exploit" thing about holten was that high level character was getting crystals from holten because they were in party with low level character that picked those crystals. That's only exploit part of this whole thing.

That is incorrect. Thats not how it worked.

In Holten the Circle was always close to the Waypoint. It had no other spawn. Which might be a bug actually, we dont know.

Everyone was able to get the Crystal there no matter your level until they made a Patch. Which stopped people from getting Crystals when they were severely overleveled.
I tested that in Clearfell and once u are 10 Level above, you wont get a circle anymore. But before that patch u could get a circle and a crystal.

The reason people teamed up was, that it was just way faster to do it in a party.

What people did after the Patch was using a Low level Char for Crystals. That got patched by simply removing the Circle alltogether.

Maybe if they would actually handle the game lie an Early access Title sure, but they dont. They Monetize it like POE1, they do Leagues like POE1. They handle both games basically the same way.
Why should i see it as an early access title when GGG does not handle it like one.
“The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.”
That pretty much summed it up.
This whole mess just screams “We at ggg care more about keeping our free advertisers (aka no life loser streamers) than you average plebs.”
