Good Job GGG, im tilted

Okay, GGG.

I'm having so much fun with Ciro (my AG). I invested all my divs in my build. Okay, meta is Breach. Wow, let's try it. I try Breach. I drop 5D in one map. Wow! I invest in a juiced 4D map. I get a Wisp 10K underground. Wow! I'm so excited. My brain is excited because I love gambling, and I'm addicted to the POE drops sound.
Okay, I start a map. Wow, so much fun! Let's hope I drop a mirror,
the server crashes. Map lost. Me with 1D in stash, and my 4D map is closed.
I really want to say bad things to you, GGG, but I don't want to get banned again.
Really hope the worst for my fav game rn

I am sorry that happened to you. But there is a concept called bankroll management. I know it's just a game what the heck. But if you ahve exactly five thousand dollars, you dont buy lottery tickets for four thousands dollars. YOu might buy one or two for 20 dollars.

Highly sought after items with resell value are a different story, but only gamble with what you have extra, hehe

This is not a lottery. You need to invest to make money but you should not have to account for instance crashes.

2 things:

1) No....you do NOT need to invest to make money in PoE. With certain strategies, yes, but that is much later. If you ONLY have a handful of divines as per what the OP suggests.....investing in FARMING is a stupid choice. You wait until you CAN afford to lose a few full investments before even trying them. The game is 100% a lottery, and if you cannot afford to lose all that you invested....then you cannot afford to invest.

2) Do you still play your computer games on CDS? Because you absolutely HAVE TO account for possible instance crashes and freezes in modern always-online gaming. It is always a possibility because the game no longer only relies on your rig and your rig alone. This is common knowledge, and while it sucks when it happens, it IS expected to happen at some point. Obviously....you can't exactly plan for it, except to save as frequently as you can. Or choose NOT to play when you feel things are rather unstable (generally the case before a crash).

As a personal anecdote: I haven't experienced a rollback or loss of ANYTHING in PoE in years because, once the servers start acting up....I quit the game and come back later. Why would I tempt fate like that? A completely random crash with no warning signs is almost non-existent.

Y'all need to be a heck of a lot more self-aware of the things that are completely within your control......to avoid the tilt-situations long before they occur.
