Just a reminder, please remove the team loot bonus in version 0.5.

Imagine coming home exhausted from work every day, only to spend two or three hours grinding maps to upgrade your gear, only to realize you can't afford anything. Then, you open your group chat and find many people running six accounts simultaneously, forming their own "one-man armies" or farming groups to print currency and snowball their wealth. Have you ever actually calculated how many times more profitable group play is compared to solo play? It's time to wake up.

Since everyone has huge differences, let's just launch a solo trading server. Everyone plays their own way. After all, it's still the EA phase! Let's see the final outcome and decide for the official server later.

" Even after the bots were removed, team play is still very unfair to solo players. This means that if a map yields 1d, their ticket will be worth 1d, and solo players will not get any benefit, while team players can earn pure profit because of the extra income. This is a difference from 0 to 1! |

Ensure that all teams, regardless of their size, have an equal chance of obtaining drops. Instead of spending one-sixth of the ticket price, one would get a drop chance that is far greater than six times the normal rate.

1.From past experience, GGG will never fix the bot problem once and for all. So let’s stop fixating on bots and focus on party play itself instead；
2.Party groups don’t just get far better loot gains than solo players—their barrier to entry for high-end endgame content is also way lower. That’s exactly why party play is breaking the in-game economy； 3.MF is an inherently flawed stat. For solo players, you need an insanely expensive build to make MF work at all. But in a party, you can stack massive MF with barely any investment. MF is basically tailor-made for party farming； 4.GGG has always been lukewarm and indifferent toward balancing party play. Don’t get your hopes up for anything meaningful in this upcoming patch note. |

With all kinds of ally buffs available, teaming up itself is already the biggest reward.
It would even be reasonable to lower drop rates as party size increases, so there’s no need to boost drop rates at all. You just want it all and are being downright greedy! |

How about buff single player loot? Or SSF?

This is done to encourage people to play in groups. On the one hand, this is right, but on the other, due to the existence of a common market for both solo and group players, this can be a major problem and very detrimental to the economy. If this is a common market, then of course any such bonuses should be removed and, for example, only some kind of experience bonus should be left in the group. The fact that such a thing as a rarity bot even exists in the game suggests something is wrong.
I would have thought it was done like in EVE Online, where multiboxing is allowed, which encourages the purchase of multiple subscriptions for one person, i.e., it increases ARPU, but POE2 is a free-to-play game, so it’s not entirely clear why this was done here, whether to increase online traffic in general or for some other reason.

I think the effect of the <Gravebind Rope Cuffs gloves> should be modified to apply to your own summoned units.

A lot of player keep saying you get less currency and rare drops in parties than solo, which is straight up nonsense. Anyone who’s actually grouped up to farm T15 maps or Temple knows that’s not true at all.
The real problem right now is party loot is exponentially better than solo. It’s making everything on the trade market more and more expensive, and it’s totally screwing over solo players. On top of that, botters can easily run in parties too. Their currency and item drops are absolutely insane. If they don’t fix this broken loot balance soon, the game is basically unplayable. just look: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1sT546WEPH/?spm_id_from=333.1007.tianma.8-1-27.click&vd_source=233f07a385a77422440ca84e63341e66 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1qf5p6wErY/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click&vd_source=233f07a385a77422440ca84e63341e66 |
