EXALTED ORB Price Shenanigans [Delirium] 127:1 What is even going on?

Gonna cash out my exalts when it reaches 180-190c. yeyeyye

I just came back today after a short break and... what the hell is going on here, 170+ c for an ex?! unbelievable...
At this rate they'll be like 270 at the end of the league lmao.

Well if you want to buy ex right now real price is 175-176c. Crazy.

Temple rush gave so much rares, I don't id all of them in low level mapes. If you take time to vendor them for chaos, you will get a lot of them.

Hence the price drop.

I think it's a good thing though. I haven't play POE for a few years so I can't speak for others. The prices for decent items are pretty cheap. Make the game experience a lot better. I don't have to grind for a 6l armor or so. It's pretty easy to acquire for a light player like myself.

Uber players still have plenty content to get challenge.

With both kind of players happy, GGG will get more money from stash and hence make POE better.

Will be 200 by the end of the week and 250 around July 5. Really interesting situation. I feel sorry for new players.

looking forward to 1:360 till the end of this league

Could be possible, but in such case chaos orbs will simply lose the position of the basic currency and will be replaced with something more useful, like fusings for example. At the moment rate is still around 30 fusings for 20 chaos, but with rate 1:1 chaos orbs will start losing value even faster, because in the current league they have practically no "use value".

A quite revolution is going on. Unless GGG undertakes some "intervention in the currency market". They can buff exalts drops or introduce some new exalt "vendor recipe". Time will tell.

Yeah, its already hapening. Chaos losing weight/ Try to buy somth for c, for ex, chisels.
Already rates falling.

Yeah not really likely to happen.

It's funny that people think this is a bad thing, or inflation. It's not of course, chaos orbs are devaluating compared to everything else, the rest of the market is pretty much the same as it has always been comparing other currency to items etc.

Truth is, chaos orbs have mostly taken a backseat in crafting as most people feel rolling rare items is "too expensive". I'm thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to actually craft some rare items rather than just buying everything off poe.trade.

Getting liberal with map's too.

Love the new title - hyperbolic to the max, as always.

HOWEVER - I would be very interested to see how a transition to Alchs or Fuses as the primary base currency in this game would affect the whole system. Would this be unprecedented? Makes for interesting analysis at least.
