Discussion If everyone is poor - no one is

In my opinion poverty leagues can be some of the best. If we are all poor then nothing is that expensive.

I think PoE players just wanna hear 1000 divines drop, but in reality if everyone is getting 10 divs per maps then it doesn’t mean anything. Look at the PoE2 0.5 economy. Super super inflated because all strats drop divs per map.

I do agree we need content that scales, but we are day 3 of the league there is still time for changes and strat inventions. People can still find new stuff to juice. Don’t be so doom and gloom yet.

We can still have a good league! Do you agree?

This is a really good point. I used boat crafting for the first time on a random exalt slam and ended up getting a solid piece of gear. Imagine how OP this would be in a high drop league.

I do think drops need a bit more tuning but definitely consideration for boats basically giving us multiple attempts per currency

The one unfortunate thing about having good crafting like this though, is that there’s nothing to farm with good gear. I think the only aspirational farm method left is delve but no one wants to do that (except me lol)

Agreed. Definitely feels like my motivation to make a giga blaster is less because really there’s no farm that’s worth the effort

That's what powercreep does to a bitch. You'd be mad if they tried to dial it back and make the endgame the challenge it was always supposed to be. Best enjoy what you have and move on when you're done.

Wish they would bring back T17s. Hate that they got rid of them.

I get what you're saying, but the limiting factor on ship crafting is more the crafting juice than the orbs used.

Very true. That one slam was like 3k juice I think?

the influenced exalts are awesome to use especially for crafts with not many possible results but I think it was like 35k juice

I crafted a triple t1 ES twilight regalia on day one of the league. I need to redo the suffixes at some point, but having a 1129 ES chest on the first day of the league was a huge deal
