Well when I say casuals, I don't mean skill, i mean more time spent. the biggest hurdle in this game isn't skill to play, it's RNG and your ability to game the AH. Beating atlas isn't about being the best skilled, it's about how luck you are in getting maps to drop and or getting enough cash to buy the maps.

I've played this game a unhealthy amount in some leagues and always hit red maps and give up, not because it's too hard, but because it's impossible to keep running maps higher then 12 long enough to beat atlas, and never get enough cash or items to sell to be able to buy them.

Here's how you can beat Awakener 8 on SSFHC on a fresh character in less than 31 hours of playtime.

You say the biggest hurdle isn't skill, but I know damn well I couldn't achieve the same thing, even if I had better luck and was allowed breaks to get rest.

what does insane speed runners have to do with beating the game? I'm talking about if it takes 1 month or a few weeks. I made it to Sirius my first time in Mayham due to some luck in drops, lost to him mostly due to not understanding some of his mechanics heh. But it was fun, I was able to sustain maps with little cost and didn't feel like currency was my issue there.

What’s the difference between ‚+ 10% chance to...‘ and ‚10% additional chance to...‘?

If there is no difference can GGG please be consistent with their wording. Thanks :)

I love this game, but the game relies WAY too heavily on playing the Ah and getting lucky drops to be much fun half the time.

Honestly, that sounds like a you problem. Do you know how better players get around that? They get more currency out of their time played than you. And if I'm suggesting that Echoes will result in players getting less (market) value out of their time, then more people will be shunted into your boat of dissatisfaction and not the other way around.

As for maps - those seem to be one of the things which will increase in value if the meta deems certain areas of the Atlas "viable" to farm.

You claim that your build doesn't suck but that you don't farm up enough currency - That sounds like a contradiction to me - you ought to be able to farm up currency quite comfortably... if you're not then I wonder if you rely too heavily on currency and uniques than rares/jewels/crafting to earn exalts (in which case, this expansion will likely make that more difficult for you).

This is the problem with POE. People saying you have to sell your items to other players to be able to play the game to the end. That needs to end in POE2.

+X% is an increase to the base chance, X% increased is the next step, X% more is the final, so for example lets say the base chance of something occurring is 5% and you get +1% to the chance 50% increased and 20% more, the calculation to find your final value would be 5% + 1% * 1.5 * 1.2 for a total of 10.8% chance, the wording that GGG uses is always consistent and specific.

I am aware of the difference between the increased and more modifier.
