Why cant we get a proper self found with higher drop rates?

"

Diablo 3. Because you simply lied.

In Diablo 3 you can't trade, you can simply give items to each other that dropped in the game you were playing together already anyway. So it's nothing else than a different form of free for all loot on the ground.

And you want to know why that is? Because the players correctly identified that the drop rates in the game all revolved around the availability of items in the auction house.

And even the devs themselves realized that, which is why the whole idea was completely abandoned.

SO congratulations, you dismantled your own argument with this disingenuous reply. Thanks for that.

If only hyperbole can make it look like your "argument" has a leg to stand on, maybe rethink your argument.

I feel like we're living in the upside down when players are now seriously arguing against finding your own loot by playing the game. If only you guys could hear how [Removed by Support] y'all sound.

I get it, [Removed by Support] are scared of change. You've invested years of your life probably to master playing POE, and now some heathen proposes a change to the formula. That scares you, like so many other things in the world.

But maybe, just maybe, google "empathy", and reflect a little on that word. Because when people are suggesting the implementation of a feature in a way that wouldn't even affect the mode you will prefer to play in, it doesn't cost you anything to be a decent human being [Removed by Support], and cross your fingers for them.

Finally you're showing your hands on what this is really about.

You're simply scared sh*tless than another way to play the game would prove to be more popular to the thing you're used to.

Yeah, classic conservative thinking based on nothing but fear.

Imagine being so spectacularly entangled in your own bs beliefs that you type with a straight face that trading in a game like POE2 is harder than playing it.

Hilarious.

Good thing the hyperbole is a stylistic choice then and not the essence of the argument.

Why should it matter where/how I found my items? The whole thing with SSF Bros is always "items you trade for aren't real!" or "people who trade are CHEATING and getting stronger way faster than they should!" It's always the same story - progress made via trading or builds crafted via trading are somehow illegitimate and ONLY characters made completely SSF are 'real'.

How is an item any different if I found currency I gave to someone else to get an item that patches specific holes in my build - or lets me make the build in the first place - compared to farming for seven hundred hours merely to be granted the chance to make the thing I wanted to make seven hundred hours ago but was told "NO YOU CAN'T MAKE THAT UNTIL RNGSUS ALLOWS YOU TO PLAY THE THING YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO PLAY!"?

Hardly. I'm one of the strongest champions of shaking things up in PoE2. I wanted things to be radically more divergent from PoE1 than they are now. Jonathan talked a good game about the evolution of the ARPG genre, but I ain't seeing half of what he said in PoE1.5 here - and even then, people are ludicrously assmad over what few changes he did make.

I just think changing it such that trade players are forced to actively feel bad about trading and SSF-Broism is held up and championed as The Only True and Legitimate Way to Play PoE is a really terrible change.

How does it not affect the game to have SSF Bros over in their private gold-plated playground saying "you could be finding forty exalts a map with zero rarity and zero juice, finding a Mirror every other week even, over here in Dropamine League...you'd just have to give up playing cool builds foreeeeever~"? How do you not see the existence of a Loot Bonanza mode where drops are boosted to a degree that would make the most egregious of Borderlands loot rush exploits blush as warping the game itself?

People keep howling about Last Epoch and how it "gives you the choice!" All right. Does literally anyone[ play Merchant's Guild in Last Epoch? Anyone? Anyone at all? Yeah, I didn't think so. Next, please.


I won't engage with your hyperbole anymore, save yourself the energy.
