No kirc mod and Nightmare maps remove chaos sinks?

this can be improved by adding a few 5C better crafts on the crafting bench in a hotfix if they really want to lol

People not understanding the economy again.

If chaos is less valuable, every item you drop will cost more chaos.

So you do not lose any value on anything that isn't actual Chaos Orb drop.

The argument is that chaos are so valueless that they don't become the standard for trading at all. So your items aren't worth more chaos because no one is trading in chaos. The complaint being the trade filters on the trade site aren't setup for anything but chaos if this happens.

This is not my own beliefs, but this is the arguments I have seen.

Or maybe it will be the opposite and players will trade even more in chaos and not afraid to spend their "precious" C. IDK map mods gamba, or rolling good base+ilvl rares etc... chaos will definitely still have it's place.

Maybe I misunderstood something idk... Trade site also has a filter for alchs or whatever other currency so let's imagine low level uniques will cost alchs instead of C. Since GGG updates ground loot this league you will have more of C and Alchs and other currencies drop supposedly. Sh*t uniques will still cost sh*t amount of currency which again supposedly you will have this league.

PoE survived somehow this long, and it will continue to do so (I think). Maybe just something is gonna change and players will get accustomed to whatever other new economy or way of trading or "standard currency" etc... No point worrying now, if it's gonna be terrible then GGG will change it and if OK - well, then again, no point to be worrying.

exalts are already 90c. when you think about it, outside of adding stuff from map device, chaos orbs have very little functionality especially for crafting. not sure how much was the essence craft, but youre basically transforming chaos orbs into couple of t1 affixes. those chaos orbs will be worthless if you try and roll an item instead of transforming them to essence and guaranteeing at least one good roll.

the sky wont fall, but youre probably paying for an item in equivalent of exalts, annuls and so on. for the sake of argument lets just say a gcp would cost you 10c. then the prices of items even if listed in chaos would be in increments of ten. when before you could buy a somewhat decent item with couple of t3 resists and some life for couple of chaos, now you`ll need to pay the same price in gemcutter.

i only started playing in merc league, but i heard people complain every time after league finishes, chaos price take a beating on standard and only recover a bit during next league. this time it has reached 800, i recall when merc finished it went from ~300 to ~500. my 1000:1d predication will likely come true end of mirage league. i think chaos will eventually be cheaper than fusings and chromes.

anyone whos holding a lot of chaos: dont sell for divine directly. u can buy chrom fusing chance etc, or other things that u find, then sell those for divines. the rate is much better than selling directly for divine. not too late to sell chaos now, dont hope for recovery in price, its like holding fiat money during the post covid inflation. move into quality hard assets, just like in real life, dont baulk at "high price" it'll keep getting higher. the true price isn't going up, its the currency thats debasing, giving the illusion of the (nominal) price going up, this is key to not being scared buying quality hard assets at a high price.
