In 0.1 by the end of the campaign i had a bit of exalts and maybe one or 2 divines
You either got incredibly lucky or you're just wearing the thickest pair of rose-colored glasses they sell because no chance 2 divines was the norm in 0.1 campaign.

Most maps i don't even find 1 ex
I'm reading this a lot. Armourer's Scraps are exchanging at 2.5 per exa so if you salvage you're getting at least 1 exa per map.
i may have been lucky , point is i never thought the transition to map was an issue currrency wise . Sure i couldn't buy the best gear , but decent enough that i wasn't stuck and could progress through maps.
As for the armourer scrap , i didn't know , i went on to exchange my last remaining chaos orbs , i may exchange my armourer scraps in the future , thanks for the hint.

Chance shards were going for nearly 1 exa last time I checked too, so every Unique that drops that you don't want to use is a potential bonus exa as well.

Thanks for the tips, i did exchange armourer scraps , i had a fair bit , makes my life easier :)
It's not as satisfying as getting currency drop for sure, but it should help alleviate the struggle.
Cheers

I really want to enjoy the game, but I just find myself sitting in my hideout feeling bored out of my mind. The fun and excitement I used to feel are completely gone. I used to be able to map and chat with others in global, but now everything feels dull and underwhelming. There isn’t any content that excites me anymore.
I’m stuck playing this Lightning Spear build, which is the only one I could manage to put together that suits my pace. I’ve tried building a Bloodmage like my old Autobomber from version 0.1, but I just can’t get it to work. The elements that made the game enjoyable have been stripped away, and it’s turned into a stressful experience. It’s Friday night, and even then, I can’t muster the motivation to play.

As the title says i am a casual , i have never really fought the end games bosses in poe1 nor in poe2 , 0.1 was the exception i did fight Xesht once (or whatever his name) and maybe Maven in poe1, maybe...
I really liked 0.1 ,played with a few friend that were motivated after work and family commitments, we even farmed a bit some soul cores to make extra currency and thats when the league ended , they never saw any of the endgames bosses and that is fine, endgame should be for the dedicated players.
We came back for 0.2 and suffice to say my friends didn't last 2-3 hours, i can't blame them , it was very tedious , monster were ruthless , never died so many times to a single boss ( damn you Jamanra ), gearing up was and still is a chore and to top all that, currency are scarce, the game overall do not feel rewarding.
There is no hero fantasy when you gotta run away and dodge roll constantly from white mobs.
In 0.1 by the end of the campaign i had a bit of exalts and maybe one or 2 divines which is great to start endgame it was quite a smooth transition.
In 0.2:
-All my exalts are going toward buying gear during the campaign, so i am constantly broke.
-Can't find for the life of me any rare drop that are good enough LET ALONE something useful for my class.
-Vendor sell mostly blue items with the occasional rare. I would take good blue bases and regal orb those if i had any regal orbs... but i have none , i may have had more exalts dropped than regals honestly. And to get regal shards you need to get rare items , which in my case during most of the campaign i had none dropping.
I basically ran the whole campaign with only 2-3 different weapons , each of those i had to buy in the market with exalts.
IT is disappointing; me and friends really had a lot of fun during the campaign in 0,1 , it felt well balanced and rewarding , to the point where we started to go in endgame.
It took 2hours in 0.2 to make them dropped the game , and honestly after having run a 165% rarity boss map ( tier 3) and only finding 1 exalt and 2 vaals, i think i am done for this league also.
Most maps i don't even find 1 ex ,not even a regal...I am not exaggerating
I am sure you will balance the game with upcoming patches , i mean it has already started , and get it right eventually, i understand also we are in early access and it's a good time to test things on a massive scale , i just hope you didn't scare away too many casuals, that the only thing they will remember is how tedious the game was.

Casual ?
m8 i first played back in 2012, i've never fought last endgame bosses in any leagues, always got bored before that. Never tried to use meta builds and just played how i felt playing, never really getting anywhere either, probably because game is balanced for streamers and maxroll cheese as a baseline.

I agree. It's compounded problems beyond bad loot. If the game was fun and loot was scarce it wouldn't be an issue, but the game is nerfing the fun out of it while also not rewarding you for your patience.
I made a reddit thread of my issues with the current atlas "mapping" system.

So basically, what you are saying, the average poe2 player should be a worker bee/slave/drone for streamers who need these crafting parts and its just a boring grind to grab 5 items and tp to "town" to salvage them and thats why they are so valuable (not because they are rare, but because the gameplay loop is so annoying, rich players simply dont do that).
Just, lmao, I couldnt imagine playing a game where I should feel happy I am being a janitor for some streamer.
ALL balancing considerations should be as if the player is playing SSF.

Guy I don't know how you landed on PoE or why you're still here but GGG has been very public about the fact that this game is not balanced for SSF and it never will be.
I disagree with you fundamentally that it "should" be, but that's not really an important discussion because GGG made this decision years ago - long before poe2. They don't balance for SSF and they never intend to.

Then they better remove the "single player" tag from steam store or its a false advertisement.
