Play POE until you turn gray and give GGG all your money and precious time
The game is structured so that it's not the player who wins in POE, but GGG who wins over the players. This is due to the simple fact that the time it takes to get the equipment to achieve all the important objectives in the game is so long that the player would probably have to go gray from old age to get it all (without spending real money on virtual currency). The easiest way to estimate all this is by trying to determine the time needed to "beat the game" by obtaining Divine orbs, and then spending them on the appropriate equipment. And so to get 18 standard gems, 6 awakened gems, 3 jewel voices, 9 large cluster jewel, 6 item set (even not the best). In my experience, a Divine orb drops on average every 30-50 games (40 avarge), so you would need to play about 88 000 games to get 2200 divs. Of course, divs can also be obtained by exchanging other currencies, e.g. chaos orb (about 2 per game), orb of fusing (about 4 per game - 1 chaos orb=4orb of fusing), chromatic orb (about 10 per game - 1 chaos orb = 8 chromatic orb), jewelers orb (about 10 per game - 1 chaos orb = 20/25 jewelers orb). I checked my estimates on maps T11-T16 (rare + delirium + random):
...and it means that each game specific player will recieve amount of divine orbs equal to: Due to the amount of Divine orb per game = 0,025 divine orbs Due to the amount of Chaos orb per game = 0,007 divine orbs Due to the amount of Orb of fusing per game = 0,003 divine orbs Due to the amount of Chromatic orb per game = 0.003 divine orbs Due to the amount of Jewelers orb per game = 0,003 divine orbs Which is mean that in avarge we will recieve about 0,041 div/game... so to get ~2200 divs (remind you that this is still not the amount corresponding to the best equipment) we will have to play about 53500 games and in case of (avarge) 10 min game it will be equal to: 53500 games x 10 min = 535 000 min 535 500 min = 8 916 hours 8 916 hours = 371/24 days (without sleeping, eating etc.) = 1 whole year 8 916 hours = 1 114 days with 8 ours playing per game = 3 whole years 8 916 hours = 2 229 days of typical 4 hour player day = 6 whole years I omitted, of course, that within 6 years the developer will introduce new equipment, which will make the equipment we spent our divs on - useless. I also mentioned that our stash tabs will become too small because there will be new currency, new cards, new mods, etc. Nice deal players !!! :D ;) Do not waste our time with POE if GGG does not plaing fair.

Not sure what game you're playing if you only get 2chaos / session.

Meanwhile while you are taking 6 years to assemble your gear other players are beating all the uber bosses in SSF a few days into the league

" ...“and the groundhog sits there and wraps them in tinfoil” And nobody are using POE-currency-auctions-websites... ignorant Of course I do not have to spend 6 years to achieve all of this, of course I can earn all of those in just a 5 min buying it for real money but if this is all about?

Jokes on you, I'm already gray, and I never trade.
Even I have the common sense to know you don't use "currency drops" for trading though, you trade items you find for currency and use that currency to buy what you want. I don't know how you overlooked something so basic TBH. Alch a t16 map and run essences, sell the essences in bulk, you'll be making multiple divs per hour. | |
" Do you have any proof that they are not? |

" Ya, it's called SSF. Solo Self Found. Trading with other people is permanently disabled. You should try it. | |
There's no way this guy isn't trolling, it was a very convincing act but this thread has taken it too far
10/10 though, had everyone going a long time |
