When people type "cya I enjoy your salty tears" or whatever, does it make them feel special? I just don't get people that are happy about others leaving the game. People leaving is a bad thing, then again maybe these are the same people who were acting all smug when WoW lost 90% of its active playerbase, the first time the game actually game close to dying. don't exactly want that to happen to POE, unlike these people who are happy people are leaving.

Besides that point, what on Earth with these changes? This doesn't effect the 1% at all, they will just flip, I made hundreds and hundreds of chaos and many exalts last league just watching the trade sites, and I suck at it - people better then me make 100's of exalts daily flipping or scamming. And now this will only hurt the economy for this league.

I am a casual player, not one of the 1%, I enjoyed being able to sextant block.

What they have done? kept the REASON people sextant blocked in game, but removed OUR ability to stop the REASON we blocked. Sextants will become pointless cheap gimmicks. Maps besides the vault will now be so much harder to be filled with mobs. Less breaches this league too, as there will be less breach sextant runs, and of course, no zana.

And the Oni Goroshi nerf, do not understand why an item that takes people 4-8 hours already to get ONE of, needs to be made harder to get? even more RNG based? You can be mapping while someone is farming one of them, making them pointless to farm to sell, at the same time, this will raise the price of it up quite well, maybe it gets so expensive people are forced to boringly farm just one drop cause they set aside a week to farm for one.

Bisco nerf was needed. That was bis in everything, and glad to see it go.

And here I was actually excited about this league.

I agree 100% with the first paragraph:) Jealousy usually don't bring anything good to the jealous person, and i consider myself to be on the lower side of the playerbase.

The problem with this change is that the casual players are going to suffer the most even though they are all smug about the nerfs here so they can stick it to the 1%.

1. Sextant blocking was already the best way for casuals to play the game too, most of them just did not realize it. It was a one time investment to then actually have some useful stuff drop in the 1 or 2 hours you can play per day. I would know as I am part of that group.

When I play after work I would like to actually have some engaging gameplay and maybe drop 1 or 2 items that are useful. With the basic mapping system both are not available. We are back to wandering through empty spaces more than we actually kill mobs now and we won't drop anything from the 3 mobs that usually populate a map either. Boss killing also still shit and not worth it.

2. The casual players are going to suffer economically, more than the 1%. The 1% will just resort to flipping only now. At the same time sextants were a useful source of income for those who did not block their maps. And a lot less items will drop in total, so those that do drop will become more expensive while the income of the large margin of the playerbase stays the same.

But yeah you guys go ahead and celebrate the victory of the masses...

Even after this change Bisco's Collar is still the best magic find amulet if you're taking advantage of its normal monster condition properly (for example, using Sextants to add Breaches or Abysses). The amulet is still comparable to The Ascetic for regular gameplay even when you're not taking advantage of it properly.

Though, I'm gonna be honest..

The only change I wanted to see from 3.1 to 3.2?

"Higher tier map drop rate has been significantly increased, we were tired of it costing 2 exalts to run all 4 tier 16 maps"
