All nice and dandy but isn't it time to focus on not adding more cards but instead fix the droprates so we dont have one of each at the end of every league?

I mean I see div cards as a way for players to self find items that normally would only be obtainable by random drop chance. They give players a way to actually "farm" for certain items.
But in the current state you just need to buy the other 9 because you found 1/10...

Agreed. See I'm almost at 40 challenges and I haven't found any of the cards from 2.3 except some cartographer's delights lmao (maybe 1 the web too I'm not sure).

I really enjoyed seeing that Sunless Sea reference card. Also there are some pretty artworks here once again, kudos!

Honestly I would love to see a change to divination cards aswell.
Maybe something could be implemented towards self-finding these cards which I honestly feel is what these are for.
Something along the lines of, can't trade cards, drop rates are much higher. It's an aggressive change and one that will very doubtfully ever be implemented but I feel like it's necessary to give them the feel (at least in my opinion, the self-found farming feeling) they deserve.

Great for the art department to show off their talents and all but... the more divi-cards in total the more diluted our chances are of getting a full set. Aren't the drop rates of divi-cards fixed low and with more cards come a larger pool to RNG pick from? Yes, I know there are specific cards that can only be found in specific zones or maps so I haven't a clue as to how more cards in total is good for getting any individual set. Just seems like it'll be harder to get complete sets. For example, another thread is about how many maps needing to be run before The Brittle Emperor card drops. The OP said he was at 380 and hoping it was about 500, one said he ran 1185 maps to finally get 1 TBE to drop, and we need 8 to turn in for a Voll's Devotion unique amulet. If I ran 10 maps a day then in 100 days I'll maybe see one of these drop and x 8 so 800 days of playing to get a full set (2.19 years). More insane grind time working as intended by GGG. I'm jaded on all this so it's just anoter illusion of getting anywhere in this arpg. YAWN!!! (sorry... just waking up).

My point is that more divi-cards are just more carrots out on the 49½ pole in front of us that GGG wants us to chase in the never ending grind. To GGG more divi-card is better as the more items of perceived value they dangle out of reach unless we grind play all the time the more chance they have of getting a player to buy something. Don't misunderstand me, I'm all in favor of more ways to acquire some of the high end gear but the time grind has got to have cost GGG millions of players by now so in the end they lose more than they gain in terms of long term players. The most notable lost player due to endless grind for paltry rewards is Kriparian. He was a huge CB PoE player but with each and every patch he realized the time/rewards ratio just was too extreme to justify sinking/wasting any more time into PoE and quit for good.

So GGG is adding more divination cards. Meh {YAWN!!!} in terms of my 20 to 25 hour a week time available to play PoE. Unless drop rates of DCs and other endgame gear are buffed to drop more often it means nothing to us average players.
