Obligatory "I quit" post on the massively unlikely chance anyone at GGG happens to notice.

To so casually destroy the Standard economy and the time/effort invested by its players is a uniquely callous decision in my none-too-brief history in gaming. No recognition of its impact, no acknowledgement that you are deleting months/years of work on an (apparent) whim, no reason to think that anyone actually gives a damn about the humans playing their game.

"Hey standard players, we see your nervous looks over there. Lilly Roth will be exchanging exalted orbs for divine orbs for the next few weeks while the economy adjust to these changes. Have a great day."

Or...silence, and the contempt it implies.

I miss what used to be a great game, and I miss the company that made that game great.

Out.

I get what GGG is trying to do with Exalted orbs and Divine orbs.

But I don't think they went far enough.

We will see, but I bet Exalts stay EXACTLY where they are in terms of value. And instead, Divine Orbs will become an even more expensive currency, placed between Exalts and Mirrors. And still no one but the uber rich will bother crafting with Exalts.

The reason being, is they aren't changing the drop rates on Exalts.

If the drops are the same as always on Exalts, I don't see it changing much.

If they really want Exalts to be used for crafting, then Exalts and Exalt shards need to be made more abundant, and then Divine orbs given the drop rate of Exalts in the past.

THAT would do it.

Hopefully they realize that after playing it too safe this league (and I would have either made the 6 link recipe return an exalt, or if that is too rich, up it to at least 50 links).
