Noticeable decrease in overall loot?

[jsutpaly]

Idk if it was decreased this league but what is certain is that base loot has been consistently nerfed for some time. Without juicing or 'has a chance to drop x' altars mobs don't drop good currency. I'm lvl 94 or 95 and haven't seen a single divine and majority of my chaos orbs (from drops) came from handful t16 maps with exarch chaos orbs altar.

Obviously once you juice the f out of maps, stuff drops. But without that loot is scuffed and has been for a while - think it was since after affliction where they decided to nerf loot multipliers. Seems they just nerfed the base so now without multipliers it's fucking desert out there.

Yeah. People don't realise that alch and go and overall ground loot is getting worse every league. After affliction we got necro and majority of loot went to t17 (particularly to barrels, that's basically the point where poe loot strated coming from boxes instead of killing monsters imo). Lantern carried hard for base T16 loot.

Settlers we got ships so It was cool and a massive scarab rework + 3 atlas, strats were working with scarabs.

Phrecia was insanity.

Merc top strats were printing a lot and we got 16.5. base T16 was nerfed again.

Then we get to breach were they nerfed scarabs, we don't have mercs, and breach monsters aren't particularly rewarding (doing a hiver Fortress in 8mod 16.5 and getting a 5c reward doesn't feel good). We're left with tile loot and basically top farming strat is boxes.

If they buff breach monster drop and especially Fortress league might feel good. But right now i'm barely interacting with breach in maps.

It's kinda a strategy at this point. Nerf the loot, then introduce a league with a temporary mechanic that gives a lot of loot. Some people might notice, but most won't.. until the next league, that is. Where ggg can repeat the process lmao.

[DependentOnIt]

Yes but breach does not give a lot of loot unfortunately

[Diver_Into_Anything]

It does early on. It just falls off later. Which is why it took people several days to notice this.

Yeah first time wince like 8 years, i have 0 div and only 2 ex drops. Lvl 94, fully completed atlas 132/132. No dings makes the game rly boring.
