I am really glad sekhemas (called sanctum in poe1) works for you, but the whole reason there are relics worth 20d is because sekhemas was the most hated content in the game since day 1, and still is:) Few players run it after getting (or buying) their ascendancy once.
Chaos trial has boss room debuff stacking and has Bahlak. Highly random success rate, and you waste time dragging between rooms, elevators, and restarting when getting build-bricking penalty.
Point of playing videogame is running content you like, not forcing yourself into the least popular content because you have to gain profit somewhere. This is what I called a big design flaw. You are lucky to enjoy sekhemas.
Well, yes. I agree. All content should be worthwhile for both solo and a party.
PS. Yeah, I somehow got hooked on Sek heeheemas this league.
I may attempt Temporalis run someday, who knows...
I like Chaos trial too, it's just so much running and my build is more of a monster-to-monster jumpy melee. Also running it 3 times for 1 Trialmaster entry is just... man...
Failure chance is rather low when up for the farming (geared), so it's just running that turns me off.

I don't see why people loose so much time on this, it won't change anything, just create entropy and false expectations...
This problem in itself is nothing compared to the cartels running around mass/bulk trade... Some bold statements running around say that TFT was able to take over 90% of the crafting materials by league day 2/3. That if proven has far more impact than this...
What this game trully needs is better crafting and better drops so we can move to SSF and leave the trade market behind, because it's a huge source of frustration for the majority of people.
Considering the current season on PoE1, I was able to craft all my gear, grabbing 332 on the ladder on PSN. The only item that that I hate to farm is 4 slot fossil... Probably next league will go SSF...
PoE2 still hasn't the same maturity content... But I guess at some point, the sooner the better, I'll move to SSF and leave this behind.
Start focusing on the positive and leave behind the negative, it will improve your experience.
Yup, self-crafting in poe2 is much, much worse because of no scouring orbs. In poe1 I could craft my gear, bypassing insane market prices mentioned in above post. Now I absolutely won't be collecting new white base for ONE casino attempt, so in poe2 trade is only way to get an upgrade. And trade keeps inflating like crazy because group players flood it with currency.
The problem isn't group play in itself, it's the cartelization underneath. Real world markets have rules and frameworks to ensure transparency and regulators. Here you don't, if you want to establish a parallel to real world, you lack a similar process like MIFID II.
Short version: it isn't group play the root cause of the issues with the market inflation, that's a simplistic approach, the real problem is cartels or syndicates if you prefer.

You think that third party companies are the only thing that destroying game by earning too much in party loot or players with multiple accounts that play as bots??
The problem is even more deeper than the obvious guesses. Players with outdated PC's are more than 70% of game player base. Old GPU ( like for example GTX 1660 super) are difficult to run in full party. Game is almost for them unplayable with ton of effects by 5 team members and that makes these players prefer groups with no more than 3 members. So basically for them is unfair to not have the same loot bonuses. These people can't afford buying 2k PCs and if GGG doesn't give shit for them sooner or later they gonna abandon game.
Make loot bonus be the same at least for 3 member party. It doesn't ruin balance and difficulity of game is the same.

Simply put, the rarity of equipment should not be effective for the entire team

What's the point now? The damage is already done by player bots. Market was ruined enough that can't return to a stable level.
The only thing to bring balance again is fully delete all items and currencies from game and let players have fresh start. It ain't gonna happen and you know the reasons....

I believe they did state this would in fact occur on 1.0 release.

Yes and no.
The current Standard League will be called Beta Standard or something like that, and it will only exist for the characters from pre 1.0. It will be sealed so we can still play and use our broken beta items if we want to, but since no new characters can be created there and no new league characters will migrate there in practice it will be completely dead.

Some players don't want new characters...They want to fking play the current to reach 100 level but they will never do. So basically they're happy with one character. As all normal people born in 80's. Nowadays kids want leagues. I prefer events in Standard.
