The problem with Exalted Orbs

I just can't find any logic. Ppl were using much more exalts for crafting with eternals , eternals are gone so you can now use exalts only for yolo which is terrible idea and that's why only few ppl would do that, more ppl would do chaos spam.So result is = less exalts are actually used in general, while chaos orbs are used at same rate or even more. Logic - exalt should go down and chaos go up. Why this isn't happening ? Tbh i got no clue, i think its just ppl are used on ex as primary currency for buying worthy items and don't want to adapt to new things/economy changes and want to stack as many ex as they can , because they will be transfered to standard league after warbands and that was the way to dominate economy (more exalts = more riches). I hope that ppl will realize ex sucks now compared to ex before deleting eternals and that it lost value due to no synergy with eternals.

I've been complaining about the Exalted drop rate and not being able to use Exalted Orbs for their originally intended purpose... adding an affix to a rare... forever. Back in the Closed Beta (2011), if you played through Act 1 Normal you almost always found 1 Exalted Orb by the reached Act 2 Normal. And if you didn't, then you would find one in Act 2. Chaos Orbs were more plentiful as well. It was nice. You could actually re-roll rares and add an affix to anything decent.

But then the drop rates were changed, and Chaos and Exalted Orbs got relegated to being trade-only currency. The orbs no longer dropped often enough to compensate for the RNG gambling that occurred when the orbs were used for their intended purpose.

Back in the day, if you found an Exalt, used it, and the result wasn't an upgrade, you would brush it off, keep playing, and use the next one you found; hopefully on a newer, better item candidate. Today, you cannot even find an Exalt. And if you get lucky enough to win the lottery, you sure as hell aren't going to waste the wealth on an RNG affix gamble.

because chaos drop very frequently, ex do not. Also more exalts are used in general, considering the +3 method was revealed so expect ex price to go up some more.Also ex ''does not suck'' now, that is just a personal opinion

Eh, you didn't understand me well i guess. I said ex sucks now compared to ex before deleting eternals and that it lost value due to no synergy with eternals. I also didn't mention drop rates anywhere. Yes chaos orb drops very frequently and ex doesn't but drop rates are the same as before. Why would go up if you can't craft items like you could with eternals+ex and that was the best thing about ex ? Yes you can still use it for yolo but its just a gamble... And about rarity of drops... I had more ex drops than divines, yet divine isn't worth as much as ex, how can you explain me that ? And btw divine is great orb that can boost price of items, specially rare worthy uniques with bad rolls (example kaoms heart i got with 20%fire no one even wanted to buy it, used one divine boom 39% fire sold in few mins for 7ex).

Yes, since its now just a gamble , ex lost primary function and is a less desirable orb. Thats why i said that i can't find any logic why is price not going down, like it should.
