What Happened with Items

Big wall of text. Big wall of nothing. You try to explain, but we don't need your explanations. We need you to LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYERS and fix the game! This league is a major fuckup. Fortunately I didn't buy supporter pack this league, as it would be a waste of money.

The loot changes didnt affect me in the first days, had multiple chaos drops, found a 6 Link chest and was just playing limited due time.

I like the idea you tried to make.

I just didn't like that it wasn't clearly in the patch notes or manifesto.

At the end is PoE unique and thats why i love coming sometimes back to the game and just enjoy the systems we have here.

I saw alot of streamers complaining hard and it almost looked like they were pushing themself so hard into negativity.. but then i closed their streams and listened to music while playing :D.

GL on the road

Why is nobody paying attention to the real root of the problem?

TIME!

The 3 month release rythm is simply too short to test things out.

GGG, i know you have to pay your payrolls, but dont be greedy and risk losing a beautiful game and playerbase!

Some points i do not understand here,

If you want IIQ / IIR bonuses to be the main sources for loot why does the Lake of Kalandra do not have any quantity scaling? Instead the best rewards come from chests.

This would also explain why i'm seeing people running simulacrum and the wave says "scarab rewards" but its not dropping a single scarab, how is that a thing?

I've seen a clip of a MF character, 160 Quantity on gear (thats not achieveable outside of standard) With Scarab Deli orbs while not holding any scarabs at all.

It makes no sense to put reward types on league content like deli orbs / simulacrum waves but not dropping them at all.

And my favorite quote: "While we took away the extreme juice opportunity, we added a dedicated reward for Beyond: Tainted Currency Items."
- Well we all know what a reward tainted currencys is Its hard to call it even a reward right now. They rather just dont drop anything then.

Also, content is hard theese days, character building is very strict. Caring about item quantity outside of juicing (like i.E. gear wise) is the last thing i would ever think about. It's hard enough to gear for a defence/offence balance right now.

Yes, for items be good on the ground they have to drop less and in higher quality, but right now its just 1400 armorer scraps dropping from a single rare monster. Thats the exact opposite. I think the state of loot is just not ready to have a justification of much less stuff dropping.

Suggestion:

Return normal Rares and normal loot droprates and put BALANCED AN on Mapbosses. Now that would be fun! Get a tough Bossfight at the end of the map with a chance of getting good loot from the mapboss.

K it's completely rippy and the reward is just bad for being stressed getting one shot. I stop to play this game. Goodbye.

They will never listen
Players are gone i cant even sell my items

Haha, exactly what I found out today as well. Items that usually sells like butter. Nobody wants them. The market crashed totally as well.

"For regular players who are just alching their maps and adding difficulty where they feel they can handle it, we think that drops are in a pretty good place after this week's changes. They should have been like this at release, and I am deeply sorry that they were not."

Still in a terrible spot its clear none at ggg plays poe anymore they would have understood these problems before launch i guess time to quit anther league because of Chris's awful vision for what he thinks the game should be...
Chris the game should be FUN! that should be the goal no one wants your hardmode you have clearly lost touch with what's fun about the game.

example you don't play the game ("I… didn't actually understand the impact of the change. It was mentioned to me in passing (that we were removing the league monster bonuses and replacing with just quantity), and I didn't ask any more questions")
Whoever is making the important decisions like this loot change shouldn't be in charge or should at least have an understanding of the game in its current state not some pipe dream which will lose all your fans along the way.
