Trust Me! PoE 2 Race Rewards Won’t Get Better

When the first race results came out, I had no complaints. I was like, "Wow, that's awesome! People can actually kill Doryani that fast?!" But my perspective changed with the second race results. Why? Because the winners were almost a direct copy of the first race. The only difference was in the Witch class, where the second-place finisher from the first race moved up to first place.

Now, let’s get to the real discussion. Why do I think the next race won’t have many rewards (assuming we even get one)?

So far, we have 18 Demigod Helmets across the races. If the rewards continue following this pattern, we’ll likely see body armor, gloves, boots, maybe amulets, belts, and rings next. As developers, do you think GGG won’t match the quantity of the helmets? Of course, they will. That means we’re looking at 18 full sets over time (if you manage to collect them all).

And if we ever get a race to Act 6? Let’s be real, only the absolute top-tier players will win. There’s no need to explain why; it’s obvious. You have no chance unless you're among the elite. And since Demigods are exclusive, they’ll stay incredibly valuable.

I’d bet that the top players will finish Act 6’s boss at level 45+, and trust me, that won’t take just 3 hours.

Thoughts? Do you think GGG should reconsider the reward structure, or is this just how things are meant to be?
