I just have two questions for the devs!

[1] When players encounter a map with tons of rare monsters, what’s their reaction???

Excited? Thrilled?
Reason:
More rare monsters = more chances to get loot.

But the real reaction is:
Open inventory, take out a zero-rare-monster map, and overwrite it.

Reason:
Are you trying to kill me?
I just want to farm peacefully—why so many rare monsters?
More rare monsters = more chances to get useless orange trash!

[2] When players see 10 Fractured Hands, what’s their reaction???

Excited? Thrilled?
Reason:
More Fractured Hands = more chances to get Fractured Rings.

But the real reaction is:
Are you messing with me? I’m about to level up…
The Vaal Factory stuffing so many hands in here is either broken or just evil…
And where are the rings anyway?
A pile of fragments that need 300 to combine…
Can’t you just tweak the drop rate—either give us the full item or make it 10 fragments per combine?

I’ve never seen a game so full of pure malice toward its players!!!

Even though I have never made it to maps, I agree with the Malice intent on the part of the developers.

I just reroll after I hit the wall because I really don't enjoy employing everything I can do to cain poer, and then the Boss just scales up like magic.

Screw that, the game is fine until you reach the Showstopper. Then, you either smash against it, or reroll. That's what this game is. Progression in nerfed on purpose. You get stuck and then no EXP or loot to progress. It's fucking evil.

This is the best description of GGG I've heard in the last 10+ years.
