True..

Leeching is a big issue that inflantes market.

Poor stick as a leech
rich person get more rich run by run

it floods end-game with many poor players who break leveling curve with no power to play end-game for it's own level



it breaks GGG data charts so ggg takes broken/fake conclusions from fake data. As leeching causing many issues across what is seen clearly



ggg don't care about that, they fixed same issue a bit with poe1 only after ~10 years constantly, and this happened bless to asian community. They will fix it only when rich/popular asian will complain to tencent
Absolutely couldn’t agree more. The broken overtuned loot bonuses from party play are single-handedly tanking Divine Orb value at an alarming rate, flooding the entire economy with inflated currency and devaluing every hour of legitimate grinding.
It’s a vicious, toxic cycle that ruins the experience for every casual and solo player. You’re left with no real choice: either you abandon your playstyle and mindlessly farm in parties just to stay afloat with the economy, or you keep playing solo and watch all your effort feel completely worthless, falling hopelessly behind the curve.
This terrible design doesn’t just break the in-game economy—it actively pushes frustrated players straight into RMT out of sheer necessity. It ruins the casual solo vibe, artificially inflates item prices, kills long-term game sustainability, and slowly drains the lifespan of PoE bit by bit. It’s hands down one of the most anti-player, poorly conceived systems that completely disregards regular players and destroys the core fun of the game.
Okay, here's the funniest part.
When we solo players try to speak up for our rights, we can't win against these group-based beneficiaries. Because we only have one real account, speaking with one ID, while they have multiple accounts, taking turns shouting that they're playing with friends and that teaming up is fair.
Hahaha, who has five inseparable friends playing PoE2 together for 16 hours a day?Wouldn't that be considered real-money trading?
GGG has no idea how grouping is absolutely devastating to the game. If they fail in 0.5 because of this total lack of fairness after a disappointing 0.4, the game will probably be finished. Don't forget that seasons are now six months long.
solo player is second class citizen on this game. want good drops? play in a group
Team play is devastating to the game's overall economy and drastically accelerates the decline of every league. We’ve learned this lesson for several leagues already, yet the development team still refuses to learn from it. We sincerely hope the dev team takes adjustments to party mechanics seriously. Otherwise, a large number of players will lose the willingness to keep playing POE.
I don't think GGG will remove team loot bonus. The profits from this system lead many individuals or studios to run five accounts simultaneously, all of which generate revenue and provide additional online players. Instead of demanding GGG remove team loot bonus, they should create a system similar to the Fate faction in The Last Epoch, where loot is non-tradable and drop rates are increased, or players can choose their own drop rate. After all, I consider PoE2 a single-player game. Even with my computer on its lowest settings, my skill effects still frequently crash. I have absolutely no desire to play a single-player game in a group.
So, oh my god, are you all going to have friends who, with their halos shining and scepters in hand, will silently follow behind someone who, with just a set of magic gear, can output more than a mirror and just collect currency for 20 hours without doing anything else
I really love PoE. I started with PoE2, then jumped into the much deeper PoE1, and I’ve been having a blast theorycrafting builds and grinding endgame.
But after watching group farming runs in PoE2 and seeing how much loot they drop in one session… it honestly hit me pretty hard. What they get in a single map is probably more than I could farm in an entire league solo. Kinda discouraging ngl.
Unleash solo trading, play solo for solo players, and play in a team for those who prefer team play. Everyone has a bright future
