My Experience with 6L Crafting

6Ls wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that they are directly involved in the skill system. That's what has always bothered me about the whole idea of sockets and links. There is a reason why Tabula Rasa is so popular despite having no stats, because it's better to sacrifice an entire equipment slot if it means having a 6L with no color restriction.

I honestly think that the entire idea of sockets and links could use a rework.

You perceive them to be "directly involved", but there is not a single skill that requires that you six link it. The only thing that needs reworking here is the player base.

Yep, mapping is optional.
Ascendancy is optional.
Lab is optional.
Leveling past 60 is optional.
Playing past normal mode is optional.

yep yep yep.

So which activities in the game require a 6-link? For some people having the best possible gear in the game is a goal in itself, but those people need to realize that in PoE that is a very long term goal.

Only thing that seems to be required to play PoE is idiocy.

Hi, Im a Casual player. I must say the Crafting in this Game is truly Pathetic and disgusting. I hate how everything depends on Randomness and very small chance. Just spent 1200 Fusings (All my savings since past 1 month) trying to 6L a Kintsugi and never got one. I am very annoyed, I don't understand how people continue to play a Game which depends on this much Randomness ?

Till they change the Crafting system, I am going to take a break from Path of Exile, Try out other games. I know some people say its not a big deal, It was for me !!! There is something wrong when you sacrifice all your savings and still not get one single Item - a 6 Link, I rather try out other games..

Peace out.

If It makes you feel any better I have been a pretty constant player since Jan 2013 and two days ago I got my first 6L chest armour drop (non-crafted). The rarity of it all made for an exciting moment!

This.

Yea OP after 2 to 3 years around 3000-6000 hours of play time in you should get a 6L no problem... maybe even 2 of them!!! (lol)

That's how PoE is designed.

Yea, how dare those idiotic noobs complaining about this flawless gem of a game.

if you really want something to 6L and have already over 1000 fuses, you just save up some more.

I collected 1100 fuses in the 2-week race and on Perandus just to 6L my Shav's (that was in STD), when the leagues merged i just said fuck it and started spamming on normal Ledge/kuduku

1100 fuses:


xD

Your own fault. You could have easily saved 300 more fusings and had a 100% chance to 6link. Don't complain when you took on risk

I spent quite a significan ammount of fusings in perandus, no 6 link, but I said fuck it and rather bought a high ilvl 6link base and crafted it, only 6link I ever made was a lightning coil on standard, when I just wanted to test it on a 5link, well whatever, I'll stick to the 6link base purchase method instead of using unique chest, when I need the sockets.

Long time player here, and while I do understand why some things are so rare, and are meant to be "chase" items, I sometimes wish that they weren't so unachievable. The chase while fun at the start, and very rewarding when you do strike gold, can and does get very very old. Often the chase reward itself doesn't make up (at least for me) the time and effort spent being unrewarded.

Years ago, it was awesome to have these unachievable goals set in place, but as time goes on we all get older etc, we can get tired of chasing and just want to get to the pot of gold. Chris himself even said PoE has evolved into a game the average joe can get home from work and just kill monsters for a few hours. The only problem with that is in the current state of the game, that average joe will 99.9% of the time go completely unrewarded in any meaningful way and walk away feeling so.

Some things need to be buffed to be more rewarding for the majority of the playerbase IE Casual players.
This would be good for player retention, and the adamant players would just be that much more rewarded.


TLDR: It would be nice to have nice things without playing 16 hours a day for months.
