Only time party play did anything to the economy was in Temple, which got nerfed. Everyone acts like party play is something that just needs to be gutted and stripped away, when they don't realize how the hell it works.


this is pure lie as well as each attempt of party player to appear innocent, party play have destructive effect on each league in poe 1 and poe 2.

for anyone wondering how party play works - 90-95% of all party players run the best strategy for currency and tier0 uniques, 90-95% of this players are solo players who operate 1 account themself and running with 5 bots in party.

this players in example of poe 1 league daily generates 5-12 magebloods each of them as well as all other t0 uniques DAILY.

this info was gathered when i was livesearching all t0 uniques for 3 weeks straight and each one of you can do the same, just take notes of accounts of all players who dumping tier0 uniques and you will find some interesting development of events - some of this players will be banned in 1-2 week, some of them will last all league and some of them will not be banned no matter what.

actual party players who play game fair - they do not have such destructive effect only for 1 reason - THEY NEARLY DONT EXIST.

after my research i forever abandoned softcore rotten economy and now play HC only, on HC for botters much harder to prepare party setups and they die time to time, and percentage of actual party players are higher so its just more fair environment


You have any proof of this or just speculation? I play in my guild often and even with a few people + rarity bot, we are not dropping tier0 uniques like you claim. We might get 1 div a map.
love reading party abusers replies, the best arguments are

-Go watch empyirans breakdowns of group play and they get half the rewards per hour of solo.

X D so why he still does that, first week full party abusing woooonder whyyy

-The weirdest part of this debate is seeing people advocate against cooperative play in a game literally designed around online interaction, parties, trading, guilds, and a shared economy.

yes its designed so much for cooperative play that guild have only one function and thats guild chat, in most of the mechanics only group leader gets the loot (ritual), rewards do not acale with party play (expedition, abyss chests, sekhema)

-Only time party play did anything to the economy was in Temple, which got nerfed. Everyone acts like party play is something that just needs to be gutted and stripped away, when they don't realize how the hell it works.

sure buddy you remember what happend in 0.3 with abysses and party abusers and 0.2 when they massively nerfed party play because it was just broken (people with 1k rarity on gear btw no dimishing returns)


Finally you all get what you deserved, but its only a half fix, waiting for bonus quant to also go away

Heh.
The best source of quantity in the game is a party. The most profitable solution in this case is to run with five bots; a more legal solution is five leechers.
Abyss chests, by the way, scale from the party.
In every league since 0.1, party quantity abuse has been the strongest way to farm. (If we're looking at farms that require killing monsters without using crafting/flipping)
About Empyrian as an example. Well, good farmers doenst splits loot between 6+ people, and even in the Abyss league, they farmed really crap. My point is, this guy doesn't show us current state of the party mf.
Speaking of removing rarity bots, this won't affect party abuse. Rarity was already working poorly above 200, so now the carry simply needs to reach 150-200 rarity. The party quantity bonus hasn't been nerfed in any way; nothing has changed.
So correct me if i'm wrong but in the latest teaser there is a rune that gives you +1 suffix modifier on an item, now think of an exceptional body armor with 3 sockets, add martial artist ascendancy on it so now you have 5 SOCKETS and it doesn't specify that it is limited to 1 so we can have up to 8 SUFFIXES on a body armor?

This just looks.. Insane.

Also the unique mod conversion runes don't seem to be limited to 1 aswell..

Say you got 3 unique modes added to a body armour, and using martial artist's 2 extra rune sockets you can have 5 suffixes with this??

This might be either the best patch ever for god-like items or the worst one. I can't decide.

So anyway martial artist is the way to go for sure..
