drop issues/not exciting to play

Yesterday, I played around 8-10 hours (maybe more) and there was literally nothing exciting dropping, some occasional divines but that's about it.
And I was trying different mechanics too - opened around 1500 stacked decks - some monochrome and sephirot with a few fortunates dropped and that's it, spent 200-300k on genesis tree, just 1 average unique and 3 divines dropped, ran tons of t16-t17 maps - absolutely nothing. Bosses - let's not talk about it. All the meanwhile 3 map devices in Kingsmarch were running non stop yielding 2-3 divines at the end of the day
Like at some point it's just not exciting to play especially when you dedicate so much time to the game and receive no rewards in return.
I am not even talking about completely useless league mechanics like abyss, expedition (like why the runic monsters are extremely strong yet reward is less than 1 unstable breach, how is it logical?), strongboxes etc...
Oh, yeah, I also spent 55k vivid lifeforce rerolling div.cards - you guessed it, nothing exciting. At the end I gave up and ran 2 fully revealed blueprints just to change it up a bit. yeah, replica mask and 19 orb of alchemy
Too much casino effect. Everything you touch has a gambling aspect of it.
Some gambling is fine, but every single action - come on now.

Well... Like everything in PoE, very few things are guaranteed, everything in PoE is quantity over quality, so instead of 1.5k decks, 5k might wield better returns, instead of 55k juice, 200k might wield better returns.

There's a reason why people run 30, 50, 100 juiced maps, it's called "Law of Large Numbers".

The Law of Large Numbers is a simple rule stating that if you do a random activity (like flipping a coin) a small number of times, the results can be unpredictable. However, if you repeat it thousands or millions of times, the average of all outcomes will get incredibly close to the true, expected average.
Pff, who even plays Standard?
