I never use scarabs for anything and I can get currency no problem. Last league I farmed thousands without putting a single scarab into the device. I am doing the same right now and I am sitting at about 150 divines.

Well 150 divines is nothing and can be farmed in like 5-6 hours with scarabs you know.

Oh, that post? I made it when I was poor. I can now pull out 10+ divines an hour without actually using scarabs and just looking for mercs. Thing is, I don't even need these hundreds of divines anyway, so good on you for pulling a bit more.

It is my first league and I was addicted at the start playing every day after work.

I've fallen off quite substantially now as progressing through Atlas feels like an utter slog. I'm still persevering occasionally but it could really do with being less of a grind.

The mercenaries aren't great either - their items are rarely worth bothering with.

I like playing as an aurabot for my melee merc. I'm finally enjoying a melee build in POE.

For me PoE went Mid when they started trying to balance the game around trade. So around necropolis league imo. Its not been the same since. This might be a super hot take but I prefer the poe era before faustus. I think a huge reason for poe feeling mid is faustus streamlining itemization, currency gen etc. its taking away part of what makes poe fun, the grind.

Nope....this happened at 1.0, when the game was released after the beta. It has always been balanced around trade, the second trade was implemented. That isn't your issue....you need to actually figure out the specific of what changed at Necropolis for you, because it wasn't the game suddenly being balanced around trade. Well...I guess you did say Faustus.
