Is this a trading game or an arpg?
" You can actually go quite high in Endgame without trading , none of my gear was obtained from trading and i can reliably melee farm T15 right now . Boss with +++ Difficulty take too much time right now though . |

" This. I've killed most of the pinnacle bosses by level 90 without buying a single thing off the trade site. I call bullshit to anyone saying they haven't found a single usable item in 150+ hours. |

" For what purpose could I have lied to you? GGG can check the logs. How do you expect me to progress with this class when not a single spirit armor or minion+ helmet drops while playing with the Witch class? How can I survive with 30~40% resist? I have never seen a drop that grants 40 resist or at least two resists together... not to mention the ring and necklace accessories. I've seen maybe 3~5 rare drops so far, and those didn't have any resists. Most of them are normal or magic. Anyway, I don't expect you to understand if things went well for you, I just meant that it was a pretty bad experience for me. Yes, I can make it work around T5, but mostly by dying. The only solution is to build with trade. In the next tiers I have to go through the same cycle again. Edit: Not all 150 hours are gaming. I probably count about 70 hours of playing. Most of it is time on the trade site with the game open. Last edited by differentone#3989 on Jan 10, 2025, 1:39:25 PM

" LMAO This has to be the most blatant lie ever told about endgame or you are just playing with a blindfold ... Even rare T1 gear you pick from the ground can get several resist mods , most of my fully crafted gear grant close to 100% in resists . For example my current body armor :  84% resists One of my rings :  90% resists Last edited by Ashyev#5110 on Jan 10, 2025, 2:00:07 PM

" My friend, please. With this character I manage to do T6s. Not quickly, but relatively safely.  You are overthinking it if you spend half the time on trading site. |

" Must be nice to be lucky but don't go thinking you're skilled. You're just lucky, appreciate it. |

If Elon Musk is unable to recognize a good item when he sees one, there is a strong possibility others can't either. It really can be considered a skill issue. Not saying it's what OP is having issue with.

Path of Exile is heavily inspired by Diablo 2.
Diablo 2 is a heavy trading game. There's your answer. |

I genuinely think better guides on how to craft, and farm good base items is crucial here. Regardless trade system does need an eventual upgrade, it feels too much like a facebook group marketplace or something lol and isnt the best experience. Huge imbalance right now on cost for items too.
