Unidentified Uniques in POE are ...

....one of the most unnecessary and tedious stuff in the game just to make POE look complicated .
It also causes the Playerbase not to feel the "good" loot.
Its one of the biggest and overseen/underthought Game Design Failures currently in the Game.

People are hiding every possible unique beside "Leather" or "Heavy"- Belt. Uhhh, a "Heavy Belt" – what can it be? I'm so excited...well, not a Mageblood. We are out of this age, and POE is out of this age, really.
The problem is not only to hover over the belts and to get disappointed; there is more behind.
Because there are indeed still some other worthy Uniques, but well, most of them are in the "Hidden" Section or in the "High Variety" Section of the Item Filter.
Well, I'm sorry, but I don't like to hover over 1 million "Paua Amulets" just to find 3 Divine.
Don't get me wrong. I really like 1-3 divine drops and get excited for them. I would even say I also would still be happy for 75 chaos drops and still would pick them up even this late in the league, but I'm probably not the only person who stopped checking Paua Amulets (since Day 2 of the League they are hidden in my Filter). But i would never hide a "Defiance of Destiny" Amulet.hope you get the point here.
I probably missed hundreds of Divine ... but you know, I don't care; it's too tedious.

The result of this is that there are very, very few drops beside the currency drops or scarab drops.

The most exciting stuff happening in my item filter right now is Divine Orbs or Containment Scarabs (or other scarabs). But it should and must not be like this.
Even in the late endgame there should still be valuable midrange Uniques dropping. But as described before, it's not worth the time to check all of the other Uniques of the same Item Class.

Why can you not just let the Uniques drop identified and let our Item Filter do its job? Why does it need to be like it is right now? I really don't think this would hurt the game … As I'm trying to describe here intensely, I think it would be healthy for the game.
If you want to spread and stretch the item pool for items on the ground people are getting excited for, then you should get rid of the unidentified stuff around uniques.
Maybe you can do some Exceptions for Jewels for example as a "Watchers Eye" is not worth something per Default and Unique Jewels do drop anyway very seldom during normal Mapping... but i think you get my point.
Also i want to add that you would get more Room to create meaningful and valauble Uniques, its not our Fault that there are so few valuable Uniques dropping.

You are cutting your own leg here.

P.S : You always say you want to take risk to develop and evolve the Game ...well take this Risk for one league and try it out
