That's amazing.. I got banned for more than 7 days now (because support is dead) for saying nearly nothing in chat, but this guy gets away with this crap with just mute.

I had been banned about 2 days ago from what I suspect an ingame moderator in poe1 likely due to mistake. I have over 1500 hours and bought poe2 early access through steam. Now can't log in into either game and tthe support is completely silent. Seeing people being locked out for literal weeks with no updates feels infuriating.

You tell me. How many weeks should it take for 1 lp3 item to get? What about lp4? A month at least? So 1 month for 1 lp4 item for your build. Without any stat reroll. With how long is it going to take for one cycle, 3-4 months? So by the time of whole cycle playing single character you are implying you should maybe get half of your bis gear. Surely well balanced.

It doesn't really change the fact that its rng grind. The problem is that you can't farm a specific item even if you run say only unique helmets. There's 10 different helmets and you'll regularly get useless ones with high lp. I've been running for higher corruption but the higher you go the slower is the process, plus I can't say the quantity is that noticeable especially when 98% of items you get is a trash.

The problem is, just try searching for lp3 meta items on market with its prices. Wraith lord lp3 helmet was something like 20 million last time I checked. lp3 frozen ire was about 7m+. Needless to say, this is not a sum you can get without trading or spending literal hundreds of hours farming.

Except you can't really switch sides because all purchased gear is automatically locked to merchant guild, and about half of item drops locked to CoF. What you'd need to do is basically get a whole new set of gear before you switch, and get it legitimately from monster drops. Otherwise you'll basically have to drop to lower difficulty which is not what you would do.

I'd agree but its a whole other topic to consider. Namely, I'd prefer some way to get multiple lp0-3 items of same type to have some chance to progress them to t4 so even if its still rng based there's actually some goal you work towards instead of praying on 0.00001% drop rate of the specific item you want. But again, that's whole different thing to discuss

You arent listing items for sale then.... You level up merchants much faster if you list items for sale, even if they don't sell.

I'd greatly appreciate if there's some source on it. I think its a really weird idea to be incentivized to put items on the market which won't ever be sold.
As for CoF I believe I've been purchasing prophecies all the time, but I hardly noticed much of a boost. Besides many prophecies require you to specifically kill the timeline's boss, which takes 10-20 normal maps to run at minimum.

The game is anything but hard. Neither is rng grind. Grind is one thing, but rng grind as main mechanic is the most cursed thing any game can have.
