Farming for what?
" wdym? i hit level 100 in 8days 6hours played and found, believe it or not, 4 power runes and 2 time runes. this is just ridiculous. guess the fun part of the league(rune enchants) is not for me. Flippers are a cancerous ulcer of the PoE community

Not sure how elite players define "rewarding", but for a common pleb it feels like grinding is not even enough. You have to be truly cosmopolitan player, daily interact with trade site, TFT, flip currency, keep watching poeninja and yellow press (reddit) for latest gossip, exploits, new farming strats and builds (to flip items used in those new builds).
Since GGG is adamant in balancing loot around top 1%, rest of us are only good for fetching essences and harvest juice to the elites:) |

the game is rewarding if you put effort in farming but if you gonna sit only on reddit and say you cant make currency while only doing 5 maps per day well then dont be surprised you can play diablo 4 instead its more casual and you can get god tier build in just 1 day

It's 2-3 maps per 2-3 days, long abandoned any effort for "rewarding":)

" rewarding you say? you can call a mirror lucky, or you can look at the hours someone puts in grinding. putting in barely any effort and complaining about not getting lucky is like buying a single lottery ticket and feeling scammed you didn't hit it big The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" The mirror is lucky, it has little to do with effort. No clue how many hours you put in this league but the fact of the matter is that i've been playing this game for 6 years now, easily several thousands hours and i haven't seen a single mirror or mageblood drop in all that time. Unless you can reliably reproduce this mirror drop every single league "with effort" and "knowledge" it's just you lucking out. Last edited by Baharoth15 on Oct 3, 2024, 11:48:40 AM

Baharoth, I could link any item and you'd call that lucky. I have farmed up Apothecary cards in SSF myself for a Mageblood before and you'd call that lucky. Because you work from the ridiculous presumption that any big ticket item is just luck and think it impossible to be the result of dedication and hard work.
Now, to your claim: You say you have played Path of Exile for 6 years. 1 year has 8,760 hours. 6 years have 54,560 hours. Unless multiple means just two for you, that'd mean you spent more than 50% of every day playing Path of Exile without a "lucky drop" by your metrics. Something doesn't add up, but I can smell the tomfoolery from a mile away. How'd spend all that time? Afk'ing in hideout? That'd explain how you have never found something noteworthy in your career. The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge. Last edited by ArtCrusade on Aug 19, 2024, 10:06:04 AM

" wow, he used the word career about this game. It hurts. | |
" I wouldn't call farming up a mageblood via apothecary cards lucky. Those cards can be targetfarmed and while they are rare it's still on a reasonable level. With enough effort it can be done. Mirror on the other hand? I also never said that i haven't found anything noteworthy in my "career". I've got a bunch of uber drops that sold for near 100 divs as well as a HH so i don't really see myself as unlucky. But you made it sound as if you can reliably drop (not farm mind you) a mirror every league with "effort" alone and sorry, i am not buying that. |

" When someone puts forward tens of thousands of hours of doing a thing, meaning it is a significant portion of their life, it is not wrong to call that a career. I still doubt the claim of multiple tens of thousands of hours within 6 years of playing Path of Exile, but that wasn't the point anyway. As per the definition I pulled from Google (because frankly I can't be arsed) it is defined as "an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress." If we can now stop nitpicking words, do you have anything substantive to add to the conversation or are there any other words you need explained to you? The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge. Last edited by ArtCrusade on Aug 19, 2024, 10:35:26 AM
