POE 2 HAS A MAJOR LOOT ISSUE FOR SOME PLAYERS

"
Haven't they already announced they are tweaking drops? I just don't know when this patch is dropping. I'm assuming it's not out yet since I didn't see it in the patch notes thread.


they already did. these are the buffed drops
Apparently some people like playing loot grinding game that don't drop much loot. Getting loot seems to actually offend them somehow. GGG have chosen to cater to that audience. It's a bold strategy but who are we to question it.
People need to adjust to the fact that vendors and gambling can produce strong items while leveling up. You shouldn’t be as reliant on drops as you’re feeling. And if gold is an issue, all that clearing you’re doing you should be scooping up every blue to ID for free and vendor. You shouldn’t expect good rare items to suddenly drop just because you cleared a zone a few extra times in the campaign. Especially as early as act 3 normal. They added guaranteed rare drops to end of act bosses, but that doesn’t guarantee it is good for you

Each act also contains a side boss with a guaranteed rare drop for a specific archetype on kill. I.e - act 3 river zone has a mini rare that drops a caster staff on first kill
This is what is holding me back I'm in the final act of cruel i.e. act 3 and wearing items that are level 15, also I'm not sure how you get the next upgrade of jeweler's orbs to get one more socket. I've had enough drop to go from 2>3 sockets but would be nice to have main skill 5 socketed by now

ive also thought that maybe some people just have a bugged client or smth
bc the way some people talk about the game im like
????
how are you finding anything
all i find is white / blue garbage and no currency at all
i feel gaslit by people pretending like exalts can drop in the campaign

How is buying an item from a shop anywhere near as satisfying as having it drop from a mob. It's a gear grinding game, not a shopping simulator.

Grind loot to get gold to buy items instead of decent items dropping.

Pick up trash to disenchant to get ccy instead of decent ccy dropping.

It's just poor game design.

Vendors and gambling are also just pure rng. and then to get that vendor gear decent you have to smash orbs into it which is also rng on top of the rng needed to get the orb drops. This means that even using the vendor and gambler there will be people who simply cannot get gear. Further vendor only resets when you level up so , that limits its viability.
Running around at lvl 26 with a lvl 5 bow and quiver ...
It's getting slow. (Bow shot dps is 230, for sake of comparison)

No useful drops, nothing from the vendors. Spent all coins gambling for better equipment ... nothing

This is just boring & frustrating
+1
Just gonna remind everyone of a quote from GGG: "IF we kill the loot then the game dies in a few days."

An ARPG without satisfying loot won't last long lol
