standard meta warped by bugged item since years
|
Dear GGG,
since a long time an item exists in Standard League that significantly warps the meta to a point that every other build over a certain budget is just not viable in comparison. This will be even more dramatic in a few weeks since foulborn choir of the storm is going to be available in standard league. Please check the trade link for the item I am talking about: https://pathofexile.com/trade/search/Standard/oLDa0KwFl  This item grants the player >25.000 fire resistance, which is used by a lot of players as it also grants millions of armour, damage and soon mana, as well as energy shield. https://pobb.in/CzIvn9wkRGzJ  You can see that a lot of players are abusing the item for all kinds of builds. https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/standard?items=Rare+Body+Armour&itembasetypes-BodyArmour=Arena+Plate&sort=itemrarity&columns=character%2Clevel%2Clife%2Cenergyshield%2Cehp%2Citemrarity%2Cdps%2Ckeystoneskill There are a lot more people using it that do not list their characters on poe.ninja Please change something so the standard meta for mid to high-end builds does not auto include this item. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Last bumped on Feb 19, 2026, 2:08:41 AM

Why fix 6L squire bug and whatever else existed like the 2k% elemental damage sceptre but not this abomination? GGG is a joke. LITERALLY

Even though I make myself unpopular with my guild members, I see it in a slightly different light. I would like to make a brief point about the bugged chest and other items in general that where created by unintended crafting methods (for example recombing mirrored items).
For me and many others, these extraordinary items are the real charm of Standard. They exist exclusively there, in an economy completely separate from the current league. They enable a much higher level of min-maxing and creativity that is not possible anywhere else. They make the perfect playground for people who want to push builds to there absoluts limits and this is so much FUN! If you want a “clean” gaming experience, you have the current league for that. Standard is an extremely difficult market. Items are available in abundance. Prices are generally high compared to the current league. The investment required to obtain such a bugged item is so high that it takes months to recoup it through farming. The potential that a build with such an item unlocks is not reflected at all in the percentage of the profit earned through farming. At its core, this is not about economic advantages, but about gaming fun. The only real “disadvantage” of these items is that some people are bothered by the fact that they make builds work quickly and easily. Removing these items would simply make Standard just unattractive to many players. Let the Standard remain the archive of possibilities. Cheers |

" it is not about liking stuff or not... clearly bugged things should be fixed - all of them. |
