Grinding gears can happen for a variety of reasons, including driver error, a worn out clutch or insufficient or poor quality transmission fluid. It's important to address this symptom when it occurs, as it could be a sign of a more serious issue that may impact the drivability of your car.

Edit: in this situation its part of the "vision"

Do you compare risk of a car accident that can end with death to playing computer game?

No. Just making a comment about the company name and what grinding gears is and how it relates to the vision of this game.

So thats why divines/hour matter to you?

Yes.

tota is a horrible mechanic nobody would play if the rewards weren't as great as they are. And since most fun builds require things like 200 divines for forbidden flame/flesh jewels, you kinda have no choice but to run something horrible in order to make currency.

Well one of fun builds for me is molten strike jugg and it is couple of div top. Most of things in PoE are profit so you can run anything to earn div, few weeks ago I earned enough to buy a mirror - I was doing mostly expeditions and essences, later some tota. You can do whatever brings you joy and profit from it - why would you do something you dont like? Do you consider tota as only real option to get profit?

Sure. I like Ritual but I ran it for weeks this and the previous league and got nothing out of it. No good implicit items, no good div cards. The mechanic pales in comparison to tota, its like 1 against 100. So I concentrate on the joy a constant stream of divines gives me instead of the constant disappointment that is ritual.

Arnt ritual vessels 18-20c per one in bulk? Filled with multiple bosses were a big thing some time ago. and you could add other mechanic on top. Have you tried that?
Edit: you could even add exarch for sextants drop.

people with 40/40 challenges with srs talking about behavioural issues.
sure if those people confllate fun with mindless grinding with one single build, a league starter no less (aka the cheapest ones), and those people would maybe only play wuth similar minded people, maybe they would have a hard time grasping other ways of having fun in games.

I am not talking about you nomancs btw. Just rambling alone.

on another note, can you tell me how to drop anything intersting in an alva temple ? Last time i checked having fun with alva content drops absolutely nothing but rushing the architects and selling the temples wich means completely avoiding the content allow me to get way more items to play with than runing it. I am sure I am confllating sth and you ll tell me how to enjoy doing the temples and still dropping fun loot. This game is literally encouraging to not do the content :D .

So what's so bad about someone having the most fun when they are reaping the max profits and farming lots of divines per hour? Is this one of those pretentious takes - My fun is better than your fun. Or - you just play for divines/h, I play for fun.

It's a loot based game, so there's nothing wrong getting fun from loot. Especially when 100% of the game mechanics are based around loot gamble.

So tell me, how many divines/hour are minimum to be fun for you? Topic is about saying that something is not entertaining because not xx div/h so would like to hear about your minimum.
