lets discuss - "exploit early, exploit often" is new legit meta? or its become new rule?

league is over now gg

^yes exactly. And in a competition, there will always be someone better than you.

Even without exploits, I can guarantee there are likely 100s of players making mirrors for every chaos you find. Where's the faux outrage?

Players are NOT equal. They don't start from an equal playing field. They don't interact with the game in an equal way. The better the player, the more likely they are also going to be the ones to find the "most profitable" situations (often being considered "exploits" by those who don't find them).

Play the game, enjoy what you do with it. A handful of people are making a ton of mirrors? Good for them, it doesn't effect you. And yes...they have an effect on the market, but in 99% of scenarios those effects are GOOD for the average other player.

GOOD NEWS! GGG did what they must do!

I think the larger issue than exploits is GGG's tendency to balance towards global drop rates instead of looking at what normal players get during 5 or ten maps.

Honestly it is dire. Maybe in 200-300 maps something good will drop, Maybe. Especially before red maps.

I pick up my essence/harvest and basically nothing else. Nothing else drops, nothing from bosses, nothing at all. The statistical chance of getting raw divines is far far far far far far too low.

Rare items are beyond worthless especially with the settler mechanic creating entire tabs of them on a timer.

If I want to craft, the systems basically for me to find a fracture and spam essences, with other systems being way too random for my liking.

I think that one day they can find a balance, but balancing around exploits just hurts player retention.

Unless they banned everyone that abused it, no they didn't.

SMH come on people. Get over your fomo and realize that some people are just better at spotting things that are too powerful that GGG missed.

Blame GGG quality control, not the players. All they are doing is playing the game given to them.

this, banning someone over this isn't right. banning people over making 6linked shields and such that's ban worthy if done more than once not this lmao

wut u mean? they also abuse exploits and GGG skip it/avoid streamers abusers or what?

if they legal play and not abuse exploits and bugs why they not allowed to be rich? or they abused?

I like how my post that did not break any rules was deleted.

It describes a behavior which has become quite common in PoE in recent years where exploits like this and others are used by many individuals as well as carry services and anything you can imagine to make currency and then sell it.

many of these individuals also buy support packs with that money, this is a real thing and i am not disparaging anyone by saying it other than people who are so very literally breaking your ToS and talking to me about it in the ingame chat.

Meanwhile unrelated to this topic but somewhat ironic 2 years later support still has not answered my ticket *clap* Thanks for your support GGG.
