Improvements to Item Drops

I'm fine with the changes but the Reddit babies won't be.

This is good, fuck those guys who want multiple Squires dropped in one map. I hope they never come back. That kind of gameplay has no place in the game.

YEAH!
Fuck those people who are trying to have a real life and play a game for actual fun.
You should have to invest 100 hours a week or you're crap. Less loot in a game where you play by yourself with no PVP or monetary competitive scene!
You tell em.

You do realize that nerfing the loot on the top end is good for everyone right? If you want to have a life, don't play at league start. If there is no loot bloat your drops will actually matter later on.

Why someone say thx to CuteDog or someone else streamer?
Peoples just leave this game, thats why they change things.

Now they say sorry, we give you some sh*t back and community is happy? And everything is OK? Same as with streamer priority ... :D

This funboys are rly funny LuL

Chris just try more fck with you and ur happy ... jesus ...

I am not to whine, so I will not.

I used to be a hardcore player and I quit that only due to one reason: no post-death summary. In many cases I had no idea what I did wrong. But higher diffculty wouldn't bother me.

So I had a lot of fun in softcore trade instead. Got to do my challenges instead. And I found that satisfying well enough.

I am ok with archnemesis and the special loot from it. I think that is a cool way to go about it and giving crazy risk/reward ratio. Might need some tweaking but that's fine.

I am not ok with the drop nerf to the point I am struggling to maintain enough alchemy orbs to juice a map. And not like scour + alchemy until I get a satisfying result, I mean literally 1 alchemy per 1 map.

Because of the lack of the currency in general, many mechanics have become completely obsolete, including the whole crafting system. This presents a serious problem. The game where so many options are available has been now reduced to a game where almost nothing is. If the game centralizes around using items to get more items it should never get to the point where using those items would mean less items in return.

I understand the current disappointment cries on the forum but I will wait until the patch is out and tested. I have to admit, my trust has been shattered just a little bit. So, I will not be the one testing it. I am going to wait for feedback from other players.

I mean, how many uproars do you need to get it? Revert it! Give SSF Harvest back, give Tradeleague its drops back. you are not extending our playtime, you are cutting your playerbase!

A shame i still read this instead of just hopping to another game.

They never are!

I haven't commented here in months, however, I made the great mistake to check what was all the fuss about, since my league start was so great I could not relate to what I was hearing.

Turns out, it's the same old story, entitled people complaining.

Thank you GGG for all the hard work! Still the best game around no doubt

Nice. I wait a day and then I login again.
What about the low currency drops? These should be affected by the rarity and quantity fix, right?

I have returned to PoE after a long break caused by burn out and demotivation from game's direction in 3.19. I did not pay attention to drops during story mode but very quickly realized Lake of Kalandra is unrewarding and skipped most of it during leveling.

I'm now in white maps and the change to loot is absolutely staggering. I was usually finishing white maps with full inventory, or even several, every time since I like to pick a lot of rares. I'm not even able to properly make chaos recipe since I barely bring any rare back from a whole map.

Seeing GGG's post on changes today, so short after their latest response is strange. It sounded like they are standing their ground yesterday only to suddenly change their minds today.
