just another way for the .000000001% to get another aspirational drop at the expense of everyone else.

What exactly do you lose by this change?

more NRG to crafting!!! Now i will have to look for a good base, spending more time in maps. No real 'buff' of defences cose u will have to grind more to obtain this 'buff', so a casual like me with family and friends will have to sacrifice more time. If u want to buy from crafters the prices will be higher. Yes we will lose

Sacred Orb is good point. It doesn't matter how rare it is and how much it will cost ...

Poe has come to a point where Harvest was BY FAR my favourite league just for the simple fact that you could grind good gear without RNG. I absolutely hate the RNG factor in this game and each new league I want to play less and less because of it.

This change will make the game around 15% shittier.

Why does Chris keep insisting it's the gambling we want? Is he a gambler himself and automatically assuming everyone else is too?

"Play other games! Durrrrr! You'll learn how great GGG is!"

lol??????

I am playing other games. I'm playing lots of other games. And I'm having lots of fun playing those other games. But I'd rather be playing PoE -- an earlier, better version of PoE than this one. But I'm not playing PoE. Because GGG isn't that great. That's why I'm playing other games.

Gambling in games should be forbidden with law.

Yeah, tbh its looks like some bad tradition, you make the problem and than you try to solve it.
Im just interested why do you think we want it in the game?
Why instead of cutting of useless things in the game we are bloating clicking and semi useless content?
It seems to me that the lesson of 3.15 not learned, the lesson was stop making useless things and focus on a things that matter, communicate with us, not "just make a thing and explain why YOU think WE need it in game". Just posting this after you do what you think is the best AGAIN IGNORING what WE as a customers want is beyond me. Looking forward to see actually how much effort was done to QOL stuff, for now i hope for the best.

At face value I'm not a fan of the concept in general but I'm willing to give it a shot. Maybe it will work out well. Many times I've seen a mechanic in PoE that I'm thinking "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard" and within a few days of introduction I'm ready to take back that statement. I hope this is one of those times.
