Thats you problem. PoE will always be balanced around trade

And that is bad to design around. Balancing around trade scews drops into having no value. At some level time spent playing the game to kill monsters serves no purpose. Your character exists solely to use other peoples materials into crafting items that can't occur naturally.

Then ggg balances around having those dumb ass mirror items available.

At some point it ceases to be fun and turns into a worse version of eve online.

Im just gonna drop to remind people of that outdated manifesto some people still defend

Balancing the game around a mechanic while also gating said mechanic by making it as obnoxious as possible is trully masterfull design

The true problem is likely GGG forgets they have a videogame, not a full-time online job to balance

very unrewarding from just casually mapping with league mechanic

Correct. It's my problem I would rather find stuff to either upgrade a build or start a new build in an arpg than google optimum farming strats for div/hour because god forbid the game doesn't emulate real depressing life as much as possible.

Ggg didn’t forget. Poe is by design to be played as a massive grind aka 2nd job for most, or nolifing as a streamer aka unemployed.

from just casually not doing with league mechanic.

I am looking for ca. 2h for this Black Morrigan...

NOTHING.

T1-T10 Maps, T11 Maps, the usual story locations like desecrated chamber and controll blocks => nothing!

I am wondering if anyone at GGG tried this on their own? I have no idea where the "fun" part should be hidden here =?

I'm having a blast this league. Haven't done the mechanic much, but am excited to explore it once my build is up to scratch.

not the same you lucky droped mirror i farmed my entire currency mostly from league mechanic learn the difference the league mechanic is super rewarding if your build can do it becuz you need extremely high damage build for you to be able do it

Im find myself constantly thinking about downloading and playing skyrim or whatever else. I think thats saying something.
Yes, i understand you can get garbage from down there and trade it or sell it or whatever and make something....
I just cant find the appeal of going down some cloaca. Runing around blindly to find some bozo that may ro may not have something to sell me and THEN go try to trade it on the external trading page so i can get some shit.
Ofcourse i trade and seel and buy stuff.
But this is just another +1 to level of gambel. Will i waste my time going down this hole or am i going to get something. IF it is enjoyable then i dont mind going down and wasting my time even if im not geting stuff every time.
But that is my point. It is not enjoyable. Its badly balanced mobs and frustrating exploration mechanic.
Its badly made. Its garbage. Call it what it is.
The masters with the new passive are nice. The idea is good, its just not enjoyable to do becouse its badly made.
