I just quit POE2 because of lack of WAYSTONES.

That's not a given, there's a lot of RNG involved, and if you're unlucky you're punished very hard. I ran my last two T15s (yellow) on lvl81 bosses (irradiated + corrupted +1 diff from atlas) and got no waystone drop from them at all, and the highest I got from those two maps was a T14 from trash mobs. This T14 then didn't drop anything above T13 and so I'm back two tiers getting no XP at all even tho I'm fully specced in waystone tier level.

If you happen to get on the wrong side of RNG it's really, really rough with the endgame progress and no amount of juice is of any help.

Map drop rates are not really good for higher level sustain. I have 5 tabs filled with maps (with an okay number of 13-15's) but if im running T15 maps i dont want to see T13 and below on the occasion that a map does drop. The solution would be to buy maps but given the state of the market it wont be long before T14 and higher start costing divines (thus RMTers are really exposing themselves here in this discussion with the "hurrr im loaded with T15s and 16's hurrr. Yeah we get it you paid real money for exalts/divines to buy the gear you needed to steam roll maps for better drops).

Enough people are complaining about drop rates for it to at least be looked into. GGG and Tencent need to remember something extremely important: Map Sustain = Player Sustain; Player Sustain = Quarterly Earning Sustain.

Drop rates as a whole is just another massive issue along with a long list of other problems that WILL crush player numbers if not addressed.

Try that out I ended up getting waystone drops all over the damn place running maps I

trans+aug+regal'd.. probably best waystone farming I've found.

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.

my multiple quad tabs of waystones say otherwise.


Have you considered doing a little research into why you're failing at something the majority of people are having no problem with? Quitting is ok too, but you're not doing something right ot have this issue. The only time the entire time ive played ive bought a map was grabbing tier 1's to throw in towers.
