This is the best PoE2 league so far

I just need to get this off my chest, with so much negativity going on around, this league isn't really that bad as some people are telling you. Quite the opposite really.
The economy is FINE. It works just as it should. Everyone is farming the Temple -> a lot of opportunity for people who want to get rich fast by doing other mechanics.
For example, I didn't even touch the Temple before "completing" the game, and by that I mean my minion build in which I melted Uber Arbiter in about few seconds give or take, his phase transition animation took longer. Just good ol powered zealots. Some of my gear I crafted, had 1-2 lucky drops, but most of it I bought. 40-50+ div a piece. How could I afford it playing casually and not farming temple (and I never play in a party either) - oh wow, know what? I just did maps. I had a lot of Light omes drop, I had a Tecrod eye drop, the other one too, tho it's dirt cheap. And I sold Tecrod when it was 70 div (now it's like 260 or more), it paid for like two of my items back then. I sold Light omens for 12 div, now they're like 25 or 30? whatever, I could start the league naked right now and do it all again - it's not hard.
I think most of the people who complain here about the "economy" would just prefer handouts, right? To have something you gotta do something, you know? Game is already pretty balanced.
And of course you can do the Temple too. I only started building it a few days ago to see what's all the fuss about and it already drops me like 4-5 divs per run plus other goodies. NOT hard. Really easy to just you know, build it. Just by playing the game.
If you play for 10-15 mins per day don't expect to have everything or be on the same level as someone who plays 24/7.

On the topic of skills, I've also made an alt bloodmage which I usually play every league just cuz I love the playstyle and I love the Spark spell. It started few leagues back with the Gemling and Widowhail-spark build (it got nerfed after). Then there was the life regen spark bloodmage (nerfed too), now we have this one. Guess what will happen to it after this league ends lol

Anyway, this league is just pure fun, and the fact that currency rains from the sky just adds more freedom. I think I'm gonna stick around some more and make a bunch of less-played fun builds on alts and what not, just cuz it's so fun and affordable now, not like in those "balanced" leagues.

This is the best time to play PoE2 and I do hope more of this awaits us in the future.

Also Oracle is a fantastic ascendancy (which I play my minions with) - the new unseen passives are a great idea

Overall 10 out of 10 league. On par with PoE1 Affliction or Betrayal. Those were golden.

P.S. sry for typos I don't see what I type lol

That was a great read. I'm running Muster power zealots in SSF.

It's my favorite league too. I hope Temple goes core, because it's beautiful, the voice lore is great, and the Red Communion animations are fantastic.

However, a lot of people in trade league disagree with you. And I mean A LOT. GGG has a problem, even if all those players are "wrong." The endgame in 0.5 had better be good.
