Pay to win will destroy your game
I am a avid video game player. I play 8 - 10 hours per day. My biggest frustration is once you hit lvl 90 Im having a very hard time progressing. This is the point where your skill points stop making you very much more powerful and the focus becomes gear related in order to progress to the harder stages of the end game. Every player I have played with or spoke with that is able to dominate in the game are people who can afford to spend real life money on the ridiculous cost for the end game build items needed to progress any further. Instead of them spending their money with you on your cosmetics etc they are buying currency from websites getting the best gear for their build in the game without having to grind for it unlike people who can't afford to do so. I'm starting to play less because of this issue. People who get their first hero maxed out with the best gear and skill points truly can farm enough currency to build more heroes without spending more real money. Games such as diablo 4 yes you can buy currency however the endgame rewards are the same for both no matter how much currency they buy. Meaning if someone grinds 8- 10 hours a day they find and farm enough currency to be able to be on the same lvl as those who do buy it. these pay to win players on poe2 put items up for sale fore 50- 200 divine orbs which is impossible for someone like me to acquire. Since i am refusing to buy orbs from 3 party sites. I have only been able to farm maybe 15 or 20 divine orbs. i need 100 at least for one piece of gear to improve my build any further. i'm not sure what the fix is maybe make divine orbs drop more frequently or control the economy and only allow people to charge a set amount for certain items. It is super frustrating and why i may be leaving and going back to diablo 4. even if i try to make a new build i have to put in Hours of Hours on a new hero then run into the same problem. i'm currently stuck grinding yellow tier 15s and cant handle 16s or juiced maps until i can farm more divines to get better gear at the rate i farm currency currently it may be a year before i see enough to be able to upgrade 1 piece of gear. also i can't play in multiplayer without dying because on console xbox specifically everything lags so bad in groups the screen freezes and i just die no matter what tier of group i try to join. If you can't get the pay to win factor resolved you will lose a lot of players such as myself included. Grinding as hard as I do putting in 8 - 10 hours a day I should be finding more currency and or at least better gear drops with the exact stats i need the drops are garbage i can never use and that no one ever buys. wouldn't you rather people pay you and buy cosmetics money and not spending it with third party sites selling your currency.

I am referring to divine orbs fyi the gear i need to go any further people are asking for 100 - 200 divine orbs for there is no way unless i buy them to farm that many.

My current review to new players or people who ask me about the game that i play with in D4 which is a lot i s don't waste your time unless you can afford to spend real money on divine orbs. Which really sucks because other than this issue i really really enjoy the game. it sucks that i may have to leave and go back to games that don't require pay to win.

Wat .. Have you tried playing the game to get currency? Sell stuff, liquidate currencies into divine orbs?
Suuuuurely, you dont think everyone is p2w to get divine orbs? xD Seems like bait all together |

Consider looking up builds that are cheap to get up and running. The problem you're running into is that you're starting with what sounds like an extremely expensive build when the idea is that you're supposed to start with something cheap then farm with it to invest into another.
Or you can run the cheap build from start to end of a league, depending on how much you enjoy it. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish. |

" It is. Just ignore and move on, this is some 1/10 at best. |

I have tried so called low budget builds can't find one that is very strong for gemling or for witch hunter. I also try selling items i find only sold one Item for 20 exalted. Have not found one decent drop. no 35 % boots no rare uniques barley any tier 5 yellows. and absolutely no uniques worth more than 1 regal shard. cant get any league mechanic items bot boss points. can't get any points to spend for delirium upgrades in mechanic map nor for breeches. its crazy. Im pretty savvy when in comes to video games never struggled with on until poe2. I'm sure only being able to play solo and unable to play with a group plays into this as well. on xbox when a lot is on the screen it's like playing frame by frame you just die because you basically can't do anything with a full group you just get frozen and die when there is a lot of monsters and spells being used by other players. Joining someones game is pointless.

Chris once mentioned that they don't really care about how many people stay and play the league , they literally only care if you buy the " supporter " packs or not .
The question is are you supporting GGG or 10cent lol Last edited by skaterboy80#3665 on Feb 10, 2025, 2:24:18 PM
