Unique and Divination Card Drop Rate Changes in 2.0.3

Im not sure why you dont make a SFL for these players who want everything handed to them. High drops and trade dont go together cos everyone will be geared out too quick. Already in ladder ppl are gg after like a week. leagues dead in month or two. Drops are too good. (with trade)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the prices will drop

Very promising changes. You're right for casual players it was nearly impossible without crazy RNG to reach such gear. I doubt any of us want Diablo3 but reward versus play time improvements along these lines are definitely welcome.

Both of the changes to divination cards and top tier uniques seems like a good move to me. Divination cards were supposed to be something you could farm and could be an alternative end game, but nobody directly farms them because of their low drop rates, they just farm how they normally farm and if they stumble upon one, great, sell it or buy the rest that you need and move on.

I honestly think divination cards should be untradeable, and should have more common drop rates, so people actually farm them. But bind on accound doen't seem like something GGG would ever do, however I don't see any other way at making divination cards more appealing without ruining the economy.

Difficulty and RNG, you say? Something like 'maps can't drop white, maps can't be rerolled' :)

Or, maps have a good chance to sustain by running difficult mods rather than 20Q + 3 frags + Zana mod?

Maybe free corrupt option? Or just drop vaal orbs more?

For the system to work on an average player, maps would have to drop by a dozen, which means that a good player with a good build able to run difficult content would be able to sustain them with ease.

Any player with any build and a few hundred exalts?

Well, if he's willing to spend currency to buy easy maps instead of making a strong build with it - he's welcome to, maybe he has his reasons. I'd say there's a world of difference between 'buying easy maps' and 'buying maps'.
