Breach League is underperforming due to boring and unrewarding league mechanic

Game is great, trade is fantastic, but what is wrong with atlas farms? All atlas farms except for boxes were killed in this league. The best strat right now is realistically 10-15divs per hour? Where is challenging and rewarding game content?

The new breach mechanic is a boredom snoozefest with zero loot, a scam tree and poe 2 style slow and unrewarding events. It is not even worth doing them if you seek to be effecient in game.

The numbers on steam are showing the worst player retention already, and many of my friends are mass quitting the league just 3 weeks in... usually it took 1.5 months to even start thinking of quitting.

Mercenaries died for this.
I loath this mechanic. The hive is so bad. Huge nearly empty area.

They destroyed mapping entirely. You are better off when you do delve, sanctum, heist.

Most mechanics are also incredible unrewarding, especially when you play SSF and you need to generate currency.

You are literally forced to do Tuljen, Ships and Harvest every single league, otherwise you won't build up any stash.

Imagine you invest into ritual, abyss, beyond and alva. You will never generate any basic currency like alts, augs, scours etc.

Feels super unrewarding to play right now the game and super stale.

I guess async and Faustus make it better for trade league players, but tbh then I can play Sim City as well if I want to do trades.

sanctum is 4-5divs per hour. at best.
The famous guides '10 div/hour' ! I tried many times their farm strategy, same scarabs, same maps, same atlas tree, at best I have 30-60c/maps, 1-2 div/hour and the problem were not the dps :( They sell you dreams but alaways better than GGG telling you that the way is Alch & Go ! It's a total joke

The league mechanic is a waste of time, ratio time/reward is nuts, I won only 3 divs in 2 weeks while my runners in Kingsmarch brought me 5 div, 6 Valdo, 1 Voidborn Reliquary key and plenty of small curencies

Here is the problem : you need strong build to farm strong content koz the rewards are supposed to be there (t17) but if you don't have the currencies to buy the stuff for your build you cannot do this farm koz you are too weak and have not enough dps, then prices start to raise koz people stop to play after 2 weeks, your final build becomes out of range, casual players are stuck in this infernal loop

I love Poe 1, but this league is frustrating, where is the fun if we cannot find decent rewards and have the build we aimed for ? What's the point for GGG ?

That's just wrong. Your stash can only get thicker if you keep running maps. You must make poor investment choices if you end up poorer from mapping, and getting into T17s isn't a tough bar to clear either if you have the knowledge & experience to build a proper character.

Sometimes it's simply not the game's fault. Clearly, other players are not having the issues you describe and it's not "RNG"

What you can do at this point is analyse your character and see where its weaknesses are. Maybe Bitterdream isn't the weapon you want for a push into peak PoE endgame content such as Tier 17 maps. Maybe you want some better defences to go along with it. Maybe your passive tree has room for improvement.

To be successful in PoE you need to never stop learning. Good luck!
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

This league is straight garbage. The wombgifts barely even drop and when they do its rng garbage. Ground loot is nerfed to the ground. RIP POE worse league ever.
