Getting enough orbs to buy gear using the trade site is impossible in the current inflation. And trading through the site is horribly painful.

gotta agree a lot with you on that
The lack of build diversity puts the loot on a bootleneck easy to inflate

diversity is base your bd, I don't think they are no other bd can use, just all are focus on lightning spear.

Yeah I die a ton. But I've ran countless t10 and under and it's non existent xp and no loot, so I moved up to try to get something. I might go 3 or 4 maps without dying but then I'll die and lose every bit of xp I made.

I've played over 1000 hours according to ps5. Had absolutely zero issues last seasons to get to 90+ on multiple characters. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but it just feels so much worse this season for me.

Like I said all of my friends are in the same boat. And they all already quit.

I'm leaving my opinion here, if you are enjoying the game great. But I'm not alone, over 500k players left. 220k just from this season alone. Many of whom are saying the same thing I am conveying here in this post.

Mmk yeah but you very obviously lied about your experience. Idk why. Getting 250-300% rarity on [edit] 100 maps* requires more setup than I imagine you're capable of if you don't have any currency to spend on tablets. If you asked for help instead of--whatever this is--lots of people would be more than happy to share with you.

I'd be happy to show you my setup if you'd like. Maybe you can show me what I'm doing wrong.

I have 173 rarity on my gear. The rest is from the 3 tablets I stack and the way stone.

" Xp loss kills level progress."

i hope it will never change. without penalties games are boring. "respawn and try again" looks boring and mindless to me.

i guess xp gain is copy/paste from poe1 but we dnt have permanent 83 level areas.

It is said that there are about a thousand people who have secret knowledge of how play the game right, the rest is slowly leaving

1) If you die that often that can only mean you're not stacking enough ES. It should be well known by now that ES stacking was and still is the best defensive layer. Using pure evasion for example is fine for lvling and midgame but for endgame/mapping it's bad so ppl switch to hybrid/pure ES.

2) 170 rarity? You're doing smth horribly wrong. IIRC some testings were showing that even with 100 rarity the difference (compared to 0 rarity) is rather marginal so going even beyond 100 rarity (where diminishing return kicks in real hard) is completely wasted and doing that while regularily dying aka not even being strong enough for the content makes even less sense.

3) Only the really top notch items are expensive and unobtainable for the average player. All the "normal" stuff is actually quite cheap to get.
