I see that Chris surely delivers a ban for you :)

I actually like the unique gating. I think it was an amazing system. MFing outside of maps is a win-win if there is not a system like this and maps are becoming more and more unrewarding like this.

The only thing that really surprised me was how Shavronne's Wrappings has been a 78+ drop. The item used to be extremely rare, one of the most rare items already, and then it got nerfed. And I'm not talking about the slight changes to it's ES I'm talking about RF builds being uncoupled from this item. It lost most of it's usefulness due to this. I'm just shocked that it is as hard to acquire now as Koam's. Koam's is just a luxury item, Shavronne's is build enabling. The point has been made for months prior to release that Shavronne's should be nerfed but be made more common so that people can actually play their builds as they have envisioned them without playing for 1000+ hours. When I read about the nerfes I was hoping this would be the case but instead it was the other way around. I really don't get it.

if you read my recent post then you would realise the point i tried to make. unfortunately i am finished with making conflict. if you wish to have a debate then please continue to post stuff about D3 and other games... unfortunately i will not be the one replying to them.. but i am sure many will because life is like this.. people are bored... people have been programmed by this society to seek conflict and confrontation.

i for one will no longer do it.

i wish you all the best in getting your voice heard.

good luck and have fun.

So sad to see Andvarius: 71 it's a level 8 ring, and I've been using all my orbs of chance on gold rings in Nemesis to try and get my first unique (I have used 100's on gold rings before the nerf announcement). I also have always wanted to have one drop while leveling. Thank you for looking into this and making a change.

Guess I have no use for orbs of chance until next patch.

Drama keeps the sheep from rampaging and revolting. Keep clear.

Bad call imo. The best players should be the ones with access to the best uniques. Docks and archives farmers still have great access to currency drops to be able to purchase the best uniques with enough grinding. Risk/reward.

Not much risk when you leech full life from every monster you step on. More about networking, getting close with the ppl who have the good maps.

So sad to see this, but it is telling of today.

The 'best players' in PoE, are NOT defined by their access to high content.

I play solo+ selffound. I will never see a lvl70+ Map in PoE. So it's more than questioable to bind the best items in PoE to high level maps tha no normal player can ever reach. At least as long as only lvl66 maps drop outside of endgame maps. Even within maps (I did some lvl 66-69 maps) there often drop none or only low level maps. I can't afford high IIQ/IIR gear so there will never as much drops like in Party Play.
GGG really seems to only focus on that. It's OK when you have advantages within groups but it's not OK if you have massive disadvantages solo. Not being able to get the best items in game is de-motivating. I recommend to balance it so everyone has the same chances to get items, independent if playing maps or groups or not. IF GGG want's to keep their questionable map system (I don't need maps actualy) then please balance it more so that higher maps can drop more often in regular areas.

Why not just ban all casuals , why let them play or enjoy the game at all , stupid scrubs farming docks.
