What Happened with Items

I'm not going to say to stop being too hard on yourselves.
I'm not going to you didn't deserve what came from this.
I'm not going to thank you for fixing your own mistakes.

However... The fact that you admitted "This is a massive internal communication fuckup and I take full responsibility for it." among other things has cured my soul and my mind of all the negative things they had against all of GGG.

An apology was all I needed and I am very grateful for it. Thank you Chris. Thank you for not sounding like a big company automated blah blah blah generic apology robot. Thank you.

Over 3 grand invested in mtx and tabs for no loot leauge. Pretty stellar. Not one more dime from me.

I like this philosophy and new special drops from archnemesis are cool.

I hope guy that turned off the iiq/iir switch for the league by mistake is not too stressed about it.

Hopefully more people realize why changes were made and what they do and will not rate game based on some arbitrary picked empyrean clip while they strategy is "alch and go".

I have seen parties in this league get multiple mirrors per day

The trade site shows one (1) player in league with more than two mirrors on offer, and three with two each. What's happening to this supposed glut of mirrors entering the market? Even if this story is true, you're quoting off the top of the range. I've seen people win $10 million in the lottery, this doesn't mean that the average return on a ticket is anywhere near positive.

You do understand that not everyone SHOULD be rich right? Its not how this works. There has to be top 0.1%, top 1% and everything below are casuals / mini juicers. There is nothing that stops you from learning the game and becoming top 1%, nothing.

That's completely besides my point. What I'm getting at is that this story of multiple parties getting multiple mirrors per day is a gross exaggeration if not an outright fabrication, based on the current state of the market. As for "nothing stops you from becoming top 1%", I have other games and other demands on my time. I'm not asking to be overflowing in divines, just to be able to clear content on a somewhat reasonable time and budget commitment.

I made roughly 50 exalts last league due to extreme bad luck. But this league is just abysmal, even still. Last night I did many heists, maps and 13+ difficutly Lakes, loot still feels very unrewarding. I've only found 1 Divine this league from Tujen, the best drop I've found was 2 empower supports..... I like the exalt/divine swap I think it's good for the game, though loot in general just feels bad, could be my rng but idk.

On a plus note. Idk why anyone isn't talking about memories, those things are VERY rewarding and fun and they pull off your atlas passives im assuming? I got an essence one and couldn't even kill the last ones with my fairly decent geared LS Champ (inspect my profile) that was pretty funny. Harvest one gives so much more lifeforce than juiced red maps too. They are rare to find and I like that cause they are also rewarding too. GGG really did good on memories and I am glad they are staying in core.

But please GGG, make mapping more rewarding, I'm sitting at 2k each whetstones and armor scraps. Please, we want real drops. Try these changes in Hard Mode, not standard please, it's really hurting us casuals.

You should have lead with that, pre-patch.... Now it is too late. Surely, damage control blah-blah. But you already crossed that line. Before GGG and players had a trust - now that trust is gone. GGG now is a company that instead of being honest and forthcoming - as specified in the Development Manifesto many years ago - today GGG will try to deceive and lie to the players for nothing more than profits.
I guess it makes a good business model in the magical land where Tencent roams. Not to me though. I am still playing the league, but as a fix for addiction. Recent events have helped me overcome my addiction to poe. Thank you Chris for that, at least.

I am guessing that you either dont actually play the game or you dont care about your playerbase. You have made this abundantly clear with the last few INSULTS you call updates.

On a second thoughts, i think arch nemesis mod it is not a balance mechanic for the game, especially now.

Might as well remove Arch Nemesis mod entirely and restore back its original state.

The Arch Nemesis mod is just unsettling & too disgusting to play with.

You said you want low & mid-tier players can enjoy the game more, but sadly, your Arch nemesis mod slows down the entire game progress, it's 6 days, i only made it to act 6. What does that tell you? Your game is getting too hard to play with.

Please give us the fun & the casual gameplay. Whatever you are doing with the game now the direction CLEARLY IT'S WRONG.

Please restore loot drop, give us back harvest crap, fix scourge currency drop

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE PLAYERS, NOT TO YOUR OWN VISION & THOUGHTS, WE ARE THE ONES PLAYING YOUR GAME, NOT YOU PLAYING ALONE.

WE WANT FUN, WE WANT EASY FARMING & GAMING, WE DO NOT WANT HARD MODE.

Keep doing the opposite way then don't blame us for leaving for the game to another game.

Mark my word, it's just a matter of time PoE will meet its end due to the stubbornness of your vision.

The thing is:

We are not having fun and right now, the struggle to make a build is waaaay bigger then the time that most of the players (casual players) will put in the game if it's not fun to play it.

I really don't understand yet why the change in loot was necesssary. Everything with archnemesis would be fine if we could still get the loot to craft. Nobody would be thinking that they are fking hard to beat or just impossible to be around them.

It's sad that the game right now is not even worth to play. The players are leaving, the system you guys built will crumble little by little. There will be a time that there will not be anything to buy because there is nothing there worth buying (I mean in the trade system).

I really like the game, but right now every time I try to open and play I get depressed and just close it. There is nothing to do there. If you want to do something you will have to struggle a lot.

I really hope there is a change. Change of view from GGG to see that nobody wants to play something that you have to try 1000x to do it.

#PREFF\SUFF (keep) Harvest BACK! Please. Craft is dead!
