GGG Surprised Picachu face

Every one enjoying the ship mechanic, farming gold and sending ships.
GGG : Sees the 1%ers geting to much from ships.
GGG : Nerfs Ships.
Every one stops sending ships with. And only sends them with 2 verisium bars.
1%ers go on to abuse another mechanic.

GGG: Surprised Picachu face :O

what another mechanic 1%ers abuse?

The point to playing temp league is meant to be rewarding. People find new and exciting things to abuse. GGG then get mad because people find more things to abuse than they expected and intented.

They probably think their precious Game get trivialized by that. Need to stop all that fun... They aren't that surprised rather upset some people 'broke' their game again... Need to fix that!

whatever happened to "fun"?

lol

the actual purpose of temp leagues were to beta test content to be implemented into core.

tho many argue that poe has always been about temp leagues.

personally i delve into temp leagues because of 2 reasons:

1. unique league exclusive powers (gears) that can be brought back to standard
2. GG items being a fraction of their cost in temp leagues as opposed to STD.

it was NEVER for the fun of it.

but that said, i jumped into this league for the fun of the mechanic. first time in 10 years joining a league just for the mechanic and rebalances.

i would say the mechanic only feels fun when its rewarding. take away the rewards, we have less fun.

What I would never understand is:

If some group of players been able to get T0 uniqs via some mechanics (like Nameless Seer abuse in the Necropolis or Ships in Settlers)
AND
info about that became a wide spread,
so why remove this abusing method AND do not remove uniqs someone got from this?

You either remove abused items too
OR
don't touch this mech at all.

Ffs!

So that thousands of players that never touched the abusive mechanics lose their items/currencies out of the blue because they bought them from the abusers? And the currency they used to buy said items with, was "hard earned", and are now in the hands of the abusers.

Sure, sounds like a perfect solution.

If a strat/mechanic is unintentionally OP it SHOULD get nerfed. Removing every item and every divine that came from said strat/mechanics would hurt more non-abusers than it would hurt the abusers.

Then don't touch this mech at all!

Because I wanna recieve my Mageblood with moderate investmnent too! I don't care who else has it and who don't, and how generally 'fair' it is.

Being nolifer is not 'fair' to regular players too, at the end.

Isn't this a huge contradiction?

You DO care who else has it, because you want it with moderate investment "too".

Question: Lets say GGG fucked up and made the boss in the Fetid Pool drop a Mageblood every time. Do you actually think that GGG should just leave it as is so that everyone could abuse the mechanic, removing 99% of the progression for ALL players - in a game about progression? Telling everyone that "abusing is OK"?

Anyhow, I disagree. GGG should always work towards "no abusive mechanics" and fixing them when it happens; not "abusive mechanics for everyone".

On a side note: I also think it's perfectly fine that the game has some items that 99% of players can't get. I played Diablo 2 (self found) for 10+ years and I never got the whole Tal Rasha's Wrappings set. Totally OK with that.
