why not we just get rid of the scroll of wisdom once and for all

as in the title,now we got a one-click to identify all the loot in the inventory function both on 1 and 2 so why not we just get rid of the scrolls,drops with identified loots and let filters do the rest to highlight those tier 1 armour loot or sth

would be too much impact if you would remove the "unidentified" section completely. just think about flipping and gambling. selling unidentified, buy it and maybe get lucky. prices would went up for some items so majority struggle to pay for it.

well as they said in Q&A,maybe they could just leave "unidentified" tag with strolls and make identification a craft to like "get a guarantee for high tier mods" or "get plus 1 tier for one mod" when identified or adding mods.
We literally just had this thread... it's barely even off the first page so I'll just quote what I said a few hours ago:

"
You don't actually want this change in the game, because you haven't thought about how rare items would be rebalanced if they dropped identified.

Right now, T1 rolls on rares are able to roll decently often because GGG knows that more than 99% of the time they do, it'll be on an item which is left unidentified on the ground. If the change was made for ALL items to drop identified, then balance necessitates making those rolls much, much, much less common, which also makes them harder to hit via crafting. We're talking, multiple orders of magnitude less common.

Changes aren't made in a vacuum.
Scrolls of Wisdom and Portal Scrolls, not only that they are iconic, they still matter and they are a good thing.
Would you rather sit in the map once you finished 10 minutes hovering over items on the ground to decide if you pick them up or no, or just take items that might interest you and use scrolls to check them out in less than 30 seconds and that if you move slow?

Also i never liked that they removed portal scrolls in PoE 2, its a portal button, its basically an infinite portal scroll but its just less meaningful.

I like scrolls.
I remember finding the first time, that unique ring Perandus Signet where has a mod "#% chance for Slain monsters to drop an additional Scroll of Wisdom", i found it so funny, and its actually a good leveling ring.

I don't understand people that just want to press less and less and less buttons to play the game, its not enough that there are plenty of builds (which i have nothing against, i played them too) that press just one button and thats for the movement skill, whats next? Automation to get a map from the stash and send you in the next atlas map without user input?
Remove both identification scrolls and portal scrolls.
Ancient mechanics that no longer serve any purpose.
Just get rid of them finally.
They can stay.

Their fragments can go away.

We need more wisdom in early game.


a game at 2026 still have the Cumbersome-Design(iden scroll)

who knows that joke

Post suggests get rid of wisdom scrolls.

Most of the replies: "bUt IdEnTiFyInG iS iMpOrTaNt"

These are different things people.

Get rid of wisdom scrolls yes.

Identifying and unidentified items can stay.

There is no issue of compatibility here.
