You put your expectations too high at times hoping that after 50 hours of game play you get to farm a 100 DIV Rare Bow or Melee weapon.

Sorry, but there is no loot in this game... nothing... none...nada...

You either buy from vendors or you trade online with other players...

HOW IS THIS GOOD GAMEPLAY?????

I want to have the enjoyment of FINDING good gear, of getting a good drop that makes me excited... not have to go and buy everything in the worst, most boring way possible!!!

And then you have people swarming you in the chat in the most psychopathic way, telling you 150 times to quit the game because "it's not for you"... and you have "skill issues"... well, I guess not wanting to stop playing to go to an outside online market to buy stuff cause the game doesn't give me anything is a "skill issue"

I dare you to get through the campaign without trading... I dare you!!! The game on it's own as it is, if you don't wanna engage in trades before endgame is UNPLAYABLE!!!

Now tell me something... how is farming money and currency to go and buy stuff you need a video game??? It's not... it's a job... this game's gameplay is the equivalent of saving up to buy a new TV... it's PATHETIC!!! The game is 100% a real life simulator and you're simulating having a boring ass job where you go in and out every day until you have enough to FINALLY go buy something to pass the time a bit more fun for a while... that's it!!!

Sure, you don't want the game to be Diablo 4 and have loot explosions... I get that... but have we gotten so f*cking stupid that we have decided that not looting a single usable item for HOURS AND HOURS in a row is good gameplay???

I'll make another thread on the most basic video game design thing which is how to make a video game FUN and not a chore so that this won't get too long...

GGG... idiots might be glazing you right now, but this is NOT a good game... sure, it has all the ability to be fixed cause the base gameplay has a ton of potential... but as it is now the game is a chore... it's NOT fun and it's certainly NOT REWARDING TO PLAY!!!

Dude, what????

I'm asking for a USEABLE item... a USEABLE piece of gear... not a god roll!!!

Something that isn't dogshit and gameplay that is more meaningful than just spamming orbs on every white piece of gear I find that fits my class and pray to god that I might get lucky someday...


Seriously... just asking for some actually rewarding gameplay... you know... see a piece of loot on the floor for once and say "ok... that's interesting!"

ONCE!!!

The game is made for traders. Deal with it.

You nailed it, dude! And that's very bad. I want to be rewarded for killing demons, like it has always been in other ARPGs.

I honestly don’t understand how the current situation where trading is significantly more valuable than self finding is any better than the d3 auction house fiasco.

Loot? So there is loot in this game? I got all my stuff from item generator! https://www.pathofexile2.com/trade
Here you go! Type what you need and you can have it for some ex.

What a bs.

man, seriously, you even buy leveling gear... I shit you not... one exalt for every leveling piece and suddenly no more "skill issues" if you know what you're buying...


How the f*** is this interactive or meaningful gameplay? I go to goddamn grocery store and pick the groceries I need? That's "gameplay"? That's "skill"?

Cause before I started doing that everyone was telling me I had "skill issues"!!!

So my lack of skill was not going online and spending my in-game money to buy power without finding it and without earning it in game???

Oh, I'll tell you... because this game was developed by GGG and not Blizzard...

And while it's cool to shit on Blizzard (rightfully so, they're trash) it's completely and utterly forbidden to shit on the bullshit moves of our lords and saviors that never do anything wrong and are also known as GGG devs!!!

Don’t bother. That’s always their argument. I mentioned in a thread that it felt bad using a level 20 scepter at level 65 despite looting and slamming every base that dropped throughout the whole campaign and the response was I shouldn’t expect a godly item. As if there isn’t a galaxy of space between “no upgrades ever” and “gimmie the best gear in the game right now!!”

There’s really very little room for nuanced discussion when everyone is still in the honeymoon phase. Once their favorite streamer puts out a video complaining about it they’ll change their tune and pretend they always felt loot was less than stellar.
