I just quit POE2 because of lack of WAYSTONES.

At first we can discuss buying maps) Casual player cannot afford to do it. Current exalt drop rate allows you to buy a gear that is necessary for the first 6, probably 8 maps tiers when you finish 6 acts.
Then you need to upgrade your gear and every piece of it will cost not 1-2 but 5-10 exalts and more.

But, if T5 are not way too easy for you, why you need T10 so badly? It has the same gameplay just with different numbers (HP, damage), so basically playing T10 with better gear is the same as playing T5 with lower gear.

I am not saying it's perfect, endgame is clearly in a very raw stage currently, just trying to understand your problem :)

About getting fun - for me, fun is to learn how to play better, find all things which can kill me and learn how to avoid them all.

When I changed to my current build, I was around T10 and since this build is unforgiving, I lost all maps and even T1-T2 maps were too hard for me. Then, with basically the same items, only with improved player's skill, I reached T15. I know there are many builds which don't even require any skill, but also there are builds which do require it, and then it's fun to play, regardless of which tier it is.

The Waytone Maps should drop more often than its atm. I run T5 Maps and get only lower Maps, so i cant Progress. It makes no sence to put all my Gold into Waytones T1 from NPC and Reforge them to T5. This makes Maps just lame for me. If there is another Way to get Maps in my Tier than someone please tell my how to get them when not from Maping.

But we just discussed it here, you can buy any tier for 1 exalted. You can use it on boss and get few more, then try to sustain them.

not a issue at all so much more easy vs poe1

i`m full of map also have higher tier map ready for my next level

put your point correctly for map in the atlas grind all the quest for point not suppose to have a issue

Ill try to do that on Bosses. Last Night ive run out from all Maps ive had. Ive Put my points in Atlas already into Waystones. Now i have to Buy Maps in Trade to try it on Bosses. Thanks for reply

Waystones drops sucks, Doryani shop sucks too.
It is the main currency needed in the endgame and is not enough. Drops are awful, and when it drops, you normally get a keystone several tiers lower. Running tier 15 maps I mostly got tier 5-12 keystones, not even 14.
Shop does only help in the first 5 tiers, above that, is completely useless, I'm not gonna buy 100 tier 1 maps to merge them up until having 1 high tier map, it's just a nonsense. Endgame has clear design and balance flags. If they are not solved, players will stop playing once campaign is finished.

If someone does not agree, you didn't play enough or you have been lucky with the drops. Been playing for years POE 1 and I have never feel forced to stop playing endgame because it was more frustrating than entertaining and enjoyable.

Hey man, it will get better over time if you progress more.
If you have a problem with dying a lot, try fixing that if you can.

Otherwise: Some players offer bulk deals like 14 T1 waystones / 1 exalt.

You can also look into using Alteration orb + Transmute and then Regal Orbing them. I would not advise using exalts on them for now unless you are swimming in currency.

Never post a trade league solution to fix a game issue.
No free pass for creating poor content.

I have 5k gold that allows me to buy a single WAYSTONE. I need 81 TIER1 waystones to combine them into TIER4 (my current tier).

MAPS do not drop waystones or drop them rarely even after I put 2 points into wayponts passive. I don't have exalts to upgrade my waysones so I simply ran out.

WAYSTONE drop should be GUARANTEED with your current stupid design (1 life only per map).

This is serious problem for new players, of course not for streamers that have millions of gold.

just msg in game (BloodReaver) i will give you a few map

my inventory is full of map no big deal for me np

How are you guys not sustaining maps, are you not transmuting them, making them rare, how do you not have literal millions of gold just from mapping, you and redditors are doing something fundamentally wrong.

literally can't do the maps fast enough tabs keep filling up and i'm here praying we get map affinity or map tab asap so I don't keep filling up my tabs with more maps.

this is on HC as well, so I'm playing slower than you guys in softcore, literally makes no sense how you guys are this clueless.

this is my immediate thoughts upon most of the complaints i hear about the game.
its often complaints that are in numbers, its not a problem with the game. its a problem with a percentage of the population.
