"Rarity Of Item Found" should be totally deleted from POE2

What are you talking about? Farming min maxing is great for GGG. People can break the loot system and then do RMT. People that buy RMT also buy a lot of cosmetics. GGG gets to make tons of money while turning away a ton of "whiny" players that only buy moderate amounts of cosmetics and want outrageous things like balanced loot and progression systems.

So what you're saying is everyone needs to run magic find? Yet the market wants 50+ divines just for a good magic gear set. A true game doesn't include needing to spend real money just to get somewhere or spend 1000 of hours to get a measly 30-40 divines when the market is so inflated for good gear. Items shouldn't cost 100+ divines when 90+% of the player base isn't going to be running magic find. All they did was ruin a good game by including currency in magic find.

Oh yeah they ruined a good game alright. In fact it gets worse. Having more ways to min max gold farming through rarity boosting it means it's easier for people to bypass the gold tax on the currency exchange in order to manipulate the market.

Incentivized min-maxed farming strats in a trade based game (let's not pretend it isn't) creates an RMT gold mine. It's the elephant in the room GGG won't talk about.
