Controversial AF. Crafting negatively impacts this game.
|
I always play solo self found in PoE1 because I find trading kind of tedious and not fun. It's exciting to have a cool sword pop out of a monster you kill. It's not that exciting to buy a cool sword on fantasy-amazon or whatever.
I'm not going to make the argument that there shouldn't be trading- clearly many people like it. But I would like more support for playing solo to keep up. I don't think SSF got any drop rate changes or anything, sadly. I'd often see build guides that were like "you totally need this unique and that unique, go trade for them" and that's just a big meh for me. Crafting stuff from components or whatever is fine, if it's not too much of a slog. |

" I don't mind trading at all. I just feel the way it's currently implemented, and the economy in this game in general, negatively impacts most peoples experience. I don't think it's going to be a great addition to PoE 2. |

"searching for items for 20+ minutes, on a secondary website,"
this is the entire problem. this also saves the devs from having to have decent in game loot and itemization. |
|
" Everyone wants an auction house or player stores. And even with that, yes it might reduce time spent. But you're still going to spend quite a bit of time looking. Not sure that's a good solution compared to just fixing the loot. |

" It genuinely feels like a Project Zeus moment from Peep Show. "why can't marketing be an arm of sales?" "I don't know Alan, thousands of reasons, but also kind of....none" |

" Probably still beats console users having to fire up a laptop or their phone in order to do what a PC user can do with alt+tab though. Last edited by SamgoFandango#1702 on Dec 25, 2024, 6:54:55 PM

" Can you imagine navigating a store in a game like this with a controller? Lol. Just look at the trade site and you'll get an aneurysm. |
