NO LOOT

No loot is a huge problem. Crafting is an absolute joke in this game. Don’t know how to get upgrades in this game. GGG doesn’t want the top players to get good loot so everybody else has to suffer. This game is an absolute joke. So depressing. Don’t let me get started with end game, maps, and the combat. So depressing and disappointing. Ggg better start making improvements or they going lose their core and casual players

You have to trade. Every exalt/alch drop you find can be converted into a decent piece of gear. The odds of finding ground loot in campaign that doesn't suck is like 1 in 100. Crafting is also terrible, and thats even considering you have the currency to bother, you don't even get enough trans/aug to gamble on white bases, let alone take it any further, same for regals and blue gear, and god forbid exalting it.

I play Poe 1 I know so I know but when you’re past the part of trading for upgrades in end game, you next upgrades everything is so expensive and no currency dropping, no good loot, and can’t even craft better gear. Needs alot more currency drops and better gear/items from rares and bosses,

I maybe did 1 round of trading in like act 6 in poe1, feel like trading is something you have to constantly interact with in every act in this game if you want to have any semblance of fun or balance. You just dont find usuable loot, crafting sucks, its trade or just suffer from act 1 onwards.

You’re not understanding what I’m saying. Look all loot drops suck in this game and anyone can agree with that statement. And there’s so many other issues. I know it’s a beta/early access but they need to make improvements asap

Ya idk what they are doing with it endgame, seems like they want people to pump IIR or suffer. And this also turns people to metaslaving like we saw last patch with just juicing breaches and everything else was a waste of time outside some niche things. Same thing will happen this league, you'll have to abuse some mechanic and have 150%+ IIR for stuff to feel half decent.

Last run I didnt hit a gear-wall till deep into end game, I am already trading currency for gear and I've only hit act 3.
LOL had the same L2 skeleton sceptre just cos it was the only thing I ever found or gamble-wasted blue currency with + minion skill level till I got fed up at char level 32 or there about and just dropped 2Ex on a sceptre with +2 min skill and L9 skells.

Wondering if all the internal testing assumes you have max item rarity and they're balanced all around 100-150% as a baseline.

Don’t know if I am putting on the tinfoil hat or it was a ninja nerf but I am struggling to get resists. I had 3 HC characters to 90 in 0.1 and could be 50%+ mid act 3 on. My cold is at 14 and most of rares is from gambling and they aren’t that great.

There's a really simple question you can ask yourself any time you're feeling suspicious about something like this... could they have done the same thing in a way that I wouldn't have noticed?

In this case, if GGG was out to make it harder for you to survive elemental damage without disclosing that they were doing so, why in the world would they choose to do so by changing the thing most visible and obvious to players? There are dozens of ways they could achieve the same result without tipping you off by futzing around with affixes.
