And thanks to the awesome loot system, they don't even have to bother with switching between the characters to gather the loot.

Oh my, in what a fine world we live <3

Ah, don't listen to me. I might just get grumpy (and I am 29 already, after all!).

I just don't get why the most disgusting aspect of society has to make it's way into each and every game. It's a game, a place for fun. We could do so much better in such an environment.

But people seem to like it, so who am I to talk it down?

Yeah im just foolin...this are jacked though. ANd you are correct. Its a game and fun, and since there truly is no real competition xcept in races, then it truly matters not that people are boxxing. Sure they got more loot and better eq, but I tell ya what. I have had 0 issues on 4 different builds on 4 different toons with mid level cheap gear. If you bought everything or found everyting you want right away, what incentive is there to keep playin.

Greed

greed for power, greed for money, greed for controle, greed for satisfaction
overall i think the coreaspect is always a form of greed

Game stuff though, Im not jealous of anyones in game riches. THey are in game and have little to no true value for the %99 of the population that are selling the stuf for real cash

Shady. Your assumptions about how many orbs are dropping are completely off. Have you ever partied before? Do exalts drop non stop while playing? Do divines? Gcp? No. They don't. From someone who multi loaded a ton in CB, I can personally tell you, you are wrong.

Well, it's kind of hard to explain.

I know you don't need the most fancy stuff, I have played my share of characters and always did fine (playing since CB, not that too far in though).

But I see what other people have. 6L items with perfect(-ish) stats and filled with all 20% quality gems., while still having a stash full of currencies.

And knowing that no matter how hard I try, there is no way in hell, I'll get there.

That does sometimes kill the fun for me - believe it or not :P

Hey man I get what your saying totally. Ive always been one of those people who not been lucky with drops. I dont box POE (no fun). I boxxed WOW (totally fun to box) but in wow there really was no advatage as I was on PVE server and people on my server loved me. Just consider this though when you think about all their perfect stuff. If I gave you every thing you wanted, right now, free. Everything with perfect rolls and stats to whatever you want. How long would you play before you get. Loot based games keep people playing cuz they wanna feel the excitement when something new and shiny drops. If you got everything already and youve run docks or maps for the 100th time...whats the draw when there are no more shinies?

Yes, you are right. I usually don't bother farming forever anyway. I enjoy playing new toons, once I reach end-game. The mindless grind that seems to lead nowhere just frustrates me anyway. And is actually kinda boring.

The only thing that really drives me crazy is the whole 6L thing. Never had one, maybe never will. I don't mind people having double my dps and HP/ES, but not being able to get the basics for a build is somewhat annoying. Especially since it's the perfect way to add IIQ/R.

And that leads us to the rich are getting richer - because they can farm way more efficient.

But yeah, if someone would give me all I need for free, that would probably just lead to quitting this toon, since I get the most joy of improving my character (via leveling mostly, that's free :P) and I would most likely get bored quickly as a result.
