Screenshots of my drops of every rare and boss for 10 maps

Hi team,

Please note that the current drop rates for Exalted Orbs, useable gear, and currency in general is severely debilitating in regards to progressing in the current 0.2.0 patch.

Based on the attached photo evidence, I have no ability to craft or trade anything to improve my character in any meaningful way, leaving me stuck in around Waystone 2 or 3 maps.

I had no problems in the campaign leveling as a Huntress - Amazon specializing in Primal Strikes and Lightning Spear. I also have no issues clearing 1-3 maps, having only a few deaths in the 10 maps I completed for the documentation.

As soon as I try any juiced maps, I get blasted, so I took the approach of let's go grind out some levels, currency, and then trade.

After about 10 maps, I got about 2 exalted orbs. Starting to catch the same vibes as what I've been hearing about there being 'no loot' I feared that my 0.2.0 league was coming to a close.

Before I resign the league, I wanted to at least give it a concerted effort and document my findings for some anecdotal evidence of what I consider to be completely inexcuseable.

Here is my frame of reference for my conclusion: In 0.1.1, running 20 maps would net you roughly 20 Exalted, unless you were exteremely lucky, and then you would end up with around 40 Exalted and a Div, even at map tier 3.

I have attached my current currency tab as well to show you what I have accumulated after leveling both a Ranger and a Huntress to 70 in 0.2.0 and crafting my own gear along the way (with the full expectation that I would be able to farm back my losses in Maps).

In the 3 sets of loot screenshots, I killed 63 Rare monsters (1 rare dropped nothing at all, see screenshot for proof), 3 bosses, and 1 legendary beetle strongbox. The most notable drops were: 1 Exalted orb, 1 Chaos orb, 1 (unusable) Legendary body armour.

And this is all after doing about 7-10 undocumented maps where my notable drops were 2 Exalted orbs. I had just about given up, and then decided to write this post.

My ONLY motivation was to complete the 10 maps to prove that the current state of the game is unplayable. I had a small hope that it was just my imagination and that the journey would actually net me something I can use.

All I ended up doing was feeling burnt out and completely wasting my time. I have an entire stash tab of things I cannot craft or roll currency on.

Please consider this as not something we imagined but a REAL problem that needs to be fixed imminently.

Thank you for your time,
Cyxe.

PS
Appologies, I couldn't figure out how to add the actual images so I attached links to the screenshots.

PPS
Edit: I started a new character. Already made more Exalteds by level 15 than I did doing 20 maps.
Please fix this.

Last session, I single map and I would have have to return twince, with just all the yellows I had.

This session, I will be lucky if I get 2 yellows per map and that is with 100% magic find.

Game is no longer fun

I was thoroughly enjoying myself as well! The issue is, I have a full-time job so every hour of game time is precious. I actually am taking a week off exclusively to play as much PoE as possible.

Well, joke's on me. My enjoyment has plummetted the instant I finished the campaign which is the opposite of the standard ARPG experience.

In order to maximimize my staycation, I'm either going to play Hero Siege, or level up a new character in PoE which is vastly more proffitable in the current state.

20+ level 2 maps and 3 ex. getting pretty burnt out not being able to roll anything

This game is not for the weak!
I was thinking that we really need a mode where mobs don’t just damage you - they literally destroy your gear. So, unless you're one of the elite POE enjoyer, you might leave the map missing a couple of stats on your armor or even lose an ear along with your Astramentis. Now that would be awesome!

Have you tried Last Epoch? New season on the 17th!

Kill all the unusual monsters quickly and move to a new map, everything will be fine;)

That would be a fucking nightmare, honestly. lmao
