No-Lifer here (the first and sometimes second week of every league).

I absolutely hate this slot machine Divine Fishing. I'm absolutely disgusted by it. I absolutely LOVE this game and love playing it. Getting hyped every league, playing non-stop for the first week. But this league has been the worst so far. Normal drops have been nerfed to the ground. Can't sustain your favorite maps even with 4 void stones and 11/12 favorite map slots unlocked, unless you specc into all map points and use cartography scarabs. Up until this league, you were at least able to SUSTAIN your favorite maps without investing into them. Not talking about selling oversustained maps, really only sustain. Even if you juice your maps (tried Deli + Beyond, Expedition / Harvest / Harbinger, with added mirrored rare monster packs and stuff). Bubblegum currency drops are at an alltime low.

And now this... playing the slot machine in the hideout, getting 30+ divines per Map without even running maps... I'm sitting at ~120 div overall, including scarabs, essences and all bubblegum currency, without having abused the slot machine. And i played almost 24/7. You wanna know how i got that currency? Rog crafting. Simple as that. 2-3 rare drops like the Healthy Mind Jewel, but ~80% came from Rog crafting.

The thing is... making frog pack size smaller and making the Div stuff rarer just punishes players who didn't abuse the slot machine. I think the mod itself was fine. I also don't get how NOBODY at GGG thought about how this could be abused. I mean, you have all the numbers: the percentage how often that modifier can appear, the final chance buffed by quantity and the number of mobs, so you can easily calculate how many divs can drop per map, how many maps it takes to get that modifier and all. Did nobody even THINK about calculating how many maps you have to input to get that mod on average, the time it takes to open a map and then open another one, and how many Div mods you can get per hour that way, multiplied by the lowest amount of Divs you can get like that each map?

Oh my, you reminded me why I stoped playing PoE in 2020.

Imagine someone working, then on the way home reading about awesome Divine orb mod in maps and also Seer appearance. He's thinking "oh nice, I felt league was boring somewhat, as If almost no changes from Standard, can't wait to roll some maps and try that Divine orb mod people talked about". He comes back, rolls maps, then again, again - and nothing. It's already nerfed in less than a day. In a small patch-note sub-patch B. "Well, I guess i'll just skip this league then".

Don't know why you make such a big difference between people who 24/7 no-life abuse every bad balance you missed in the game and people who just want experience fun league. And target here is to ruin the fun.

Exactly the same feeling + group players farming 5 mirrors each group per day which is silly, it scales up prices based on the high end. I stopped believing that GGG is ever testing anything, they just put random numbers to live test it during the league. Last Epoch is destroying this crap in terms of having fun from playing.

This is what happens when there are greedy people playing...

I say, well done to GGG on whatever they do.

Even though some times they screw things up, they fix them afterwards.
People that complain all the time are annoying as fuck.

"Oh why not this?!" "Why not that?!"
"Boohoo" gtfo my favourite game.

I'd you don't like it, don't play it
