Master Crafting Metamods

How many players quit because he 'mislead' the community about having 72 mirror orbs?

Hi everybody,

it's funny that a stunt like this brought me back onto this forum. Well, I won't play the game anymore, for two reasons:

1. It doesn't feel rewarding in the long run.
2. It is not balanced well, especially in terms of its endgame content and currency use.

Let me explain where I'm coming from. I played the game for about one year and have finally arrived at a point where I somewhat figured out trading and making builds. I was lucky to get into the Act IV Beta and had fun exploring the new content. The new additions were interesting and encouraging. Basically, it felt like making a character and getting to those high levels where you get the high rewards would be possible without the horrible grind that was there before.

I understand that grinding away at the higher content is intentional. But I have arrived at maps in 2.0 and it simply feels broken to me. I know exactly, that I'd have to upgrade my character's gear to survive - but I can't afford it! And now, with this fluke event in the economy, I won't be able to do so in the short term.

Sure, I could accept the received wisdom that "you have to try harder", but why bother when there are rewarding and exciting games out there for less than the price of a couple of premium stash tabs? Why not explore that? Well, you're right, that's what I'm going to do.

It's up to the company to make and design their game. I feel that Path of Exile was fun while it lasted and I thank you for this free to play game. I'll be sure to check back. Perhaps one day, it'll be manageable for average players like me.

Best of luck,

LMAO, this revelation was the kinda entertaining I have to say.

Saying the shift in economy is normal and everything related to peoples' behaviour is not is the most retarded thing I have read in a while.

Compare: Oh, now we have a crisis on our hands. Some people short-sold like crazy and got ritch. Other people lost everything. But! That's normal. The smart winning and the dumb losing is intended that way. Prices have shifted like crazy but that's okay.

Do you even realize that the poe economy is so far away from what is referred to a healthy economy, it is more than ridiculous?
It's based on bots farming, flipping (also referred to as cheating others) and RMT. The economy is not a free market, but rather controlled by monopolies. If you have 10,000 exalts you can have a high impact on exchange rates and capitalize on that. It's like a playschool for kids.
Please don't compare this with reality. In reality the markets adapt very quickly by the rules of arbitrage. There are opportunities to make profits quickly, of course, but as soon as they arise they quickly vanish again. The markets are effective. That's the big difference.
In poe you have an inefficient market controlled by very few and this will likely never change, as sad as it is. Market inefficiences are tolerared and can last whole leagues (like in this instance) or forever (like in case of legacy items which come into existance out of nothing). Supply on average is never equal to Demand, which makes it so bad.
Diablo 2 solved this by resetting over and over again, same what poe tries by introducing temporal leagues. But how about fixing the core issues? It would be possible, but it doesn't seem to be intended.

Holy shit, now all the treads in general discussion about different aspects about this mess are being lock. Way to go for damage control.

I really want to unquit, but every time I come here you guys are giving me more reasons not to trust GGG anymore.

No need for several threads about the same topic.

Interesting that GGG shares information with players and, after enough (GGG guildmembers?) saw it, remove that information.

You're spreading bullshit. Think about it for a second, if a GGG member wants to share private information with a player of his guild, do you really think he's gonna post on reddit and delete after 10 mins ? He would simply sends the guy in game or whatever.

That sucks , ill be back for the 1 month league
