Eternal Orbs
So let me get this straight, people aren't upset about the fact that people will make less perfect gear. People aren't upset that grinding will still have no guarantees, even with eternal orbs there weren't any. And people are happy that crafting will either be cheaper (yolo exalting) or useless (just trade instead) and exalts are reinforced in the role of being a currency option rather than a crafting one (just too much risk involved especially with the availability of master crafting). I just don't get it.
If GGG didn't want perfect items to be crafted, then they made the right choice. All this other nonsense I see is more like whining that they can't do it themselves. The better option in my opinion would have just been to flood the market. If an eternal drop was exceptionally common, then it wouldn't matter how OP it was and everybody would be happy. Self found would be happy because they might someday create something godly. Traders would be happy because the influx of eternals would become a new trade currency, and a desirable one at that. More so than it is now. High end crafters might be upset because their corner on the market might end but it seems like you're happy they're getting the shaft anyway. But thats me for you, I'd rather have a fluid currency experience. I'm not all that interested in the trading economy but I would like my time farming to have some meaning, beyond vendoring rares for alt shards. |

honestly, I don't get how temp league people could be so "happy" and how standard league people could be so "pissed off". This change probably would not affect 99.9% of those people.
Personally, I play standard and this change is like "meh". Crafting was possible but it was also ridiculously expensive and impractical. For all of my time playing PoE, I've never found an eternal/mirror. My summoner guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1765329

" Why do people keep bringing this up as a valid point?? This is a direct FU to Standard players and making the economy even WORSE, nothing to do with Temp. Dark_Chicken - lvl 100 Marauder

" Flooding the market isn't a bad idea IF they planned on keeping mirrors.. something tells me this is not the case. |

" Yeah, I really don't get why temp league people even care. But I can kind of get why Standard players do. I wasn't about to spend 200ex to upgrade one of my CI character's chest pieces, so I spent about 40ex et/ex crafting my own. For certain situations when you have enough liquid currency, it's nice to have the ability to do it. The bigger problem I see, I alluded to a a few posts back Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" Yeah,i don't get people talking that the game is for leagues only so no big deal,either. It's like some goverment keeps fucking the poor or whatever you like instead of poor and people say "oh well,world is balanced for rich" or something. |

OMG, please no. How about a nerf, any nerf. Don't force us to live among yolo-exalts. Please note that I have never used one, but IMO, the intent and goal of an Eternal Orb sounds great to crafting.

" I even directly said: I'm not saying it's right. Ie, I'm not saying it's valid. I'm just saying it is what it is. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" haha, so much this....every person in this thread who is glad eternals are removed says they never saw one drop are just jealous casuals. this is not good for the game, since this is one more less option for hardcore end game players, hell, while you are at it, remove shav, mjolner, all other good uniques, and those that you dont remove make them usable to only lvl 50..... shit, just make it that when person gets to lvl 50 in game, server instantly reroll his char to lvl 1, cause yea, leveling and low lvl items are great, cause that is where fun is.... remember that people? when devs are telling you what fun is? anyway, less and less options in end game is not good for the game.....with eternals a lot of people like me who play a lot but cant afford to start crafting from alt/regal could hope to finish some rare item with 4-5 great rolls, now this is not the case anymore |
