Forcing people to buy equipment instead of getting a good loot to survive endgame..

300 hours in, 3 classes reaching endgame, all the loot that I got is trash and I can't even survive in endgame, after I trade exalts for the equipment because thats the only way for you to min maxing in this game, I can survive now

is the game encourage you to trade in order to get strong instead of getting a good loot that actuually makes you strong? if thats so, theres no reason for me farm the endgame or even reach pinnacle boss for it..

-want to see the boss? just watch youtube
-want to get the loot? just trade it

even sometimes the unique in this game, makes you have to REDO min maxing every equipemnt you have, because they are all having bad mod but only 1 specific unique mod that you need, that you don't even know if its helpfull or not until you wasted your exalts after min maxing it..

trading simulator - find the gear for another person and they likely found yours in the marketplace.

Problem is the rng in the 'crafting' system but it's just gambling with exalts on rares or chaos orbs to get other things.

A lot of useless stats too that probably not many people would want and if you get one or two of these the gear just becomes vendor gold.

They should not even call this an arpg. Loot is one of the basic features of an arpg. This game doesn't have loot.

No meaninful loot
No crafting
No matchmaking item with level progression
No itemization
