GGG - Why Is Gold Find Almost Completely Absent?

I don’t understand why GGG has made gold find almost completely absent from the game. Currently, gold find is limited to Perandus Seal Gold Ring and Soul Core of Azcapa. Both these items are not available early game, where gold find truly "shines."

For upcoming Content Patch 0.3.0, I urge the devs to consider new common jewelry and/or new early game rune (lesser, regular, and greater variants) that grants a gold find affix. It would be fun to have the option to grind for gold, especially when starting a new campaign and would be helpful for low-level SSF characters that like to gamble. With significant gold reserves, you realize you can get the best amulet/ring in the game by gambling. I'm just requesting a few items with gold find...

Wealth Amulet
Common
X% Increased Quantity of Gold Dropped by Slain Enemies

Wealth Ring
Common
X% Increased Quantity of Gold Dropped by Slain Enemies

Wealth Rune
Martial Weapons: X% Increased Quantity of Gold Dropped by Slain Enemies
Wand/Staff: X% Increased Quantity of Gold Dropped by Slain Enemies
Armour: X% Increased Quantity of Gold Dropped by Slain Enemies

I don't disagree with this but there's hardly anything to do with gold outside of respeccing and gambling. Sure you can buy weapons/armour while playing the campaign but it's pretty easy to have enough gold to do that. Maybe there is something else to do with gold that I'm not aware of.

That alone should be enough justification to add a few gold find items to the game. I think there are many SSF players that would grind for gold for gambling purposes.

Hope GGG considers request in upcoming Content Patch 0.3.0.

I have changed my build like 15 times to try out different things, opened 2 Researchers boxes and gambled some. I have 5 million gold AGAIN.


soooo, I disagree.

I'm curious, what level is your character and is it SSF?

I agree as an endgame character at level 94, gold find is not useful. But for a new character (especially SSF), gold find would be a welcome addition. This would allow player to grind for gold for more gambling during campaign playthrough.

Imo would be fair and easy to raise SSF campaign gold drops. No need to toy around with gimmicks you need to find=rng.

Gold find is not a gimmick and is a fun aspect of D2. It offers the option for a player to create a gold farming character, but have to sacrifice little power. It would be a fun element to add to PoE2. As D2 is inspiration behind PoE2, hope GGG considers in a future update.
