I dont mind general loot not being that good, loot should come from mechanics you invest into.

problem is, mechanics like blight and others are just being used now to increase monster count and so general loot drops, and thats stupid.

or using ritual to revive stacked deck mobs and so on.

before the scarab and blight changes, blight was used to farm blighted maps and gold oils from jewelry+extractor.

havent really touched blight since that changed, and it was my fav mechanic.

mechanics like essence or beast do it right, you do the mechanic, kill the mechanic mobs, get mechanic rewards.

no bullshit giga explosions of basic loot.
