I beat everything and I have enough currency for anything I want, all my gear is pretty much perfect all T1. Yesterday I spent a few hours in trade search and replaced some of it to get 100% rarity. Let's see how different it really is. But my point is, you do NOT need rarity nor a meta build nor 18 hours a day. Some people will always have mirrors and thousands of divines, no matter what. Have fun and don't compare yourself to those people. Inflation is bad but it won't be gone if rarity is removed. And by the way, I would like for both rarity and resistances to be reworked and be gone from suffixes to make room for more interesting suffixes. Right now our gear is very much locked in a puzzle that is too tight and I've played most of the league without changing a single piece of gear, because changing one thing means also changing at least one or two others. Yeah resistance swap craft in poe1 helps a lot in that regard, hopefully we get something like this with future leagues, I personally use my boots currently to fulfill that need with the 100% increased effect xD	Posted by Sinpox#4289 on Oct 11, 2025, 8:35:29 AM Quote this Post
" Mashgesture#2912 wrote: You Can't Play the Game Without Meta Rarity, Period You absolutely can +1 I agree to an extent. You can play just fine without rarity on gear, but let's be honest here. Without rarity your drops are straight up garbage. You will never ever find anything remotely worth a damn. You can luck out and get a Div drop here or there but without rarity on gear and on the map, you'll just have to be happy with regal shards drops. I've recently added rarity on gear and on maps, not even to a crazy extent. Since then I have: - Astramentis deferred for next ritual - Perfect Ex orbs - Multiple divs - Multiple annuls - Multiple Omen of Light - Mutiple Against the Darkness - .... Rarity stat is just OP AF	Posted by R3kt3m#0050 on Oct 11, 2025, 10:59:50 AM Quote this Post

Yes you can. I've farmed hundreds of divs this league with zero rarity beyond a basic golden charm. That said sitting at 120 rarity and clearing maps in 2 minutes or less is a different ball game. But saying you can't play the game otherwise is pure skill issue.

" Nah That list of stuff you put, I got all of those without going over 40%(not even looking for it either) rarity on my setups Congratulations on having real good RNG but for me that just was not happening until I hit close to 100% rarity. RNG was not doing me any favours.	Posted by R3kt3m#0050 on Oct 11, 2025, 11:43:59 AM Quote this Post
My God, are you players so poor that you can't even get yourself a 150 rarity? That's enough to get a huge amount of currency... Stop blaming GGG for all your sins. They have their flaws, but YOU just ignore rarity on your gear in favor of damage and your vision.	Posted by Karlusss13#7436 on Oct 11, 2025, 11:56:30 AM Quote this Post
I got 200% rarity on my gear now but my build was already clearing T15s without it. The rarity didn't change things much. All it really did is get me more currency so that I can replace my existing gear for gear with more rarity. So I got rarity to get more rarity...

This is 100% accurate and true. I played 6 days 0.3 with lich. 100% rarity = Ass 150% rarity = Feels like new game Its very disgusting and unfair	Posted by crYme#6772 on Oct 11, 2025, 12:19:51 PM Quote this Post
Every time I get into playing this game, or it's predecessor in the past, when I eventually stop actively playing a very large part of why is getting absolutely fed up with the economy, and sick of knowing that there's no point in pursuing any goals because by the time I can actually afford to buy anything even remotely worth buying, the league will have ended a month ago. This franchise is basically an exercise in why player driven economies are trash.	Posted by The_Song#4903 on Oct 11, 2025, 1:12:50 PM Quote this Post
