Tough luck mate.

Perhaps if you wouldn't blow all your currency on carries and challenge completion just to be "done" after one week, you too could eventually generate enough virtual wealth to buy those big boy items.

I only ever spend like 5-10 divs max per league on challenge carries though. Usually after running Sanctum a lot to level up because exp loss still exists.

The only challenge carries I bought this league were: uber bosses cus I'm too lazy to farm em myself and the fragments cost too much to risk losing all 6 portals, and T17 cus I don't like those maps. And like 180 chaos on voidstone carries.

I spent less than 1/10th of the currency I made in the whole league on carries, the rest went to buying gear,gems and stacked decks because there's nothing better to spend my divines on at the end of a league.

That's not the problem, the problem is builds being wayy too expensive.

It is the game though. "Skill issue" can't be used as an excuse for a boring meta and builds being way too expensive for the average player. It isn't my fault the game has gotten to this state lmao

I'm just trying to have fun but can't because the barrier to entry for fun is now hundreds of divs or even 1 mirror+ of investment. That's not ok. Most people will get bored,burned out and quit.

I played Chober Chaber animate weapon tiger Guardian to non Uber pinnacles this league.

Your refusal to try different builds doesn't mean more creative players can't have a great time playing just about anything we want.

The game has powercrept players way wayyyy too much when stuff like perfectly mirrored heist rings/amulets are so common in builds lol,

Exactly, and it's easier than ever to put together a solid build.
Also the items are common cause they are quite literally BiS in many cases and players love to min-max their characters.

"

I don't want to play a build that costs more currency than I make in multiple leagues.

Just don't do it? We already know that you don't like to min-max. This shouldn't stop you from playing the builds in a budget friendly version.

"

And a build shouldn't need super giga endgame jewels like watcher's eye or forbidden flame/flesh, which by themselves cost more than entire other builds. That's bad.

You don't. In many cases it's something you invest into to min-max your build.
You also don't have to copy-paste a giga min-maxed version of a build in order to play the build. The lack of basic knowledge is just the only bad thing here.

Sure, but I can't make builds. I can only follow build guides even after 6000+ hours of playtime. I have no clue how to make a build that works lol

What I want is a nice,simple,easy,cheap build to follow and have fun with and do most content in the game except ubers and valdo maps,while feeling tanky,while having high boss burst dps because hp bar going down fast=fun. And I haven't found a good one since explosive arrow ballistas champion pre-crucible league. I had fun playing that one.

I can't play builds that require SO much currency to buy all the gear. So instead I quit the league after leveling my leaguestarter.

Its a reasonable thing to want in an ARPG.

Tatiantel2 has a long list of totem builds that are HC and SSF friendly and that can do ubers comfortably and with clear & easy to understand progression steps.

Can confirm, I leaguestarted their Stormburst Heiro in hardcore and it was smooth sailing all the way into red maps.

Like any time I see a build using fobridden flame/flesh,watcher's eye,specific legion jewels,expensive clusters I'm like "naaaaah" lol,

Even knowing you, this statement is outlandish.

Crafting is too convoluted,too RNG,too expensive and you need PhD in spreadsheets to do it.

Crafting is the best part of this game.

Any time a build has mageblood,expensive jewels,insane rare gear or some kinda bs heist amulet or whatever its an instant skip for me. Literally impossible to copy it.

Literally impossible, yet at this point in league, lvl98-100 on POE ninja stats are:

67%- Watcher's Eye
44%- Mageblood
39%- Forbidden Flesh/Flame

Like aint no way I'm gonna spend literal weeks farming for all those items and a mageblood, I'd fall asleep by then.

It doesn't take weeks if you know how to farm.

Like the average player doesn't get a mageblood every league, nor do they farm hundreds of divines.

Almost 50% of players are using a mageblood right now, so this seems to be empirically incorrect.

Latest poopbutts2200 video on yt. Patch notes wishlist.
Apparently this guy also has a skill issue because he doesnt believe current state of the game is perfect.

Every time people come out with opinions that many many things could really use a buff so they dont feel like self inflicted punishment its shut down as "you just bad".

Given this seems pointless to engage beyond stating disagreement.

"Almost 50% of players are using a mageblood right now, so this seems to be empirically incorrect."

"lvl98-100 on POE ninja stats are: 44%- Mageblood"

Are people below lvl98 not players or just not worthy of mageblood?

Cause mageblood usage falls sharply and even those that do have are more likely to be somones second twink character rather than farmed it.

I am not even against mageblood being this super chase items but lets not twist how unaffordable it is for majority of the playerbase.

Not only that, I don't know why we're using poe ninja as a basis for success. That site only lists players who are at the top of the ladder which is a small fraction compared to people who hop into the game every league.

I mean, good for them if they manage to get a mageblood and are trivializing the game. They don't represent the entire PoE1 community.
