Improvements to Item Drops

While increasing the rarity of items dropped by archnemesis certainly helps, it doesn't address the issue of them still being vendor food 99% of the time, this is an overarching problem with POE that isn't fixed, it's about what combinations of mods are good together, as for unique items they still for the most part are relegated to leveling uniques that doesn't impact end game content, making the leveling uniques stronger is certainly nice but it wasn't enough as is.
Map Bosses acting as act bosses is good, I honestly think this should have been in the game sooner but better late than never.
I don't think the buff to currency will be enough to soften the blow, it just isn't enough, it's a step in the right direction though.
Making harvest crafts cheaper is nice but harvest monsters still do not have guaranteed chance to drop lifeforce in a meaningful amount.
Reflected jewelery from the Lake of Kalandra on a fundamental level have too low of a chance to have a combination of mods that make sense together to justify all the downsides and that's without mentioning what those mods are in the first place which as far as we know there is no unique modifier to the mechanic and while having higher stat than normal is good, it still doesn't have enough of a unique identity in my opinion.
I hope that tainted currency will be at the very least as effective as in scourge league if not more.
Also please stop trying to force archnemesis on all players, it was fine when it was an opt in mechanic but now it's just everywhere and unavoidable.

Not surprised that this is their band aid, with their track record, I don't expect much, POE is a dead game, Chris and GGG have killed this game, just shut off the servers permanently please, you don't listen to your player base, you do what you think is right for YOU (Chris).

Trust = Dead
POE = Dead

Hey tencent, do us all a favor and fire Chris, and bring on someone that actually pays attention to what the players want, and actually follows through instead of breaking our trust, and hire someone that doesn't lie.

This patch and band aid is pure garbage.

I'm also shocked that part of the playerbase still defends all type of abusive behavior against them.
