Normally I would resist commenting on a post like this, but for some reason this one just got to me. I checked your account, you have one character that is level 62, in Standard (I can only assume it's a dead Nemesis character since it has 1 total death). The other characters are level 1, level 4, and level 34.
Yet you're complaining on here about how the drops rates are bad, and how you've leveled "6-7 characters to 60 or higher without finding an Exalted Orb".
Constructive criticism is one thing. Telling flagrant lies on the forum to fit a false narrative is something else entirely.
Our support staff works tremendously hard, around the clock, to ensure that every player gets their concern answered. I sincerely doubt that you've been ignored by support in the three instances you claim you wrote to them.
Whatever personal issues you may have with the game aside, I think you have a hard time with the truth.
Hi, Brian.
As you are into checking accounts, would you care to look at mine.
Since the launch of OB 1 year and 1 week ago, I have, I think, 5100 hours on the 5 characters that still exist on my account. I think close to 4000 of those hours are post eternal orb introduction.
I don't trade, I kill beasties. My time in PoE is almost 100% killing beasties. I've found some nice gear, you'd expect that in over 5000 hours. I've found many exalts, probably around 100, I recall picking up 10 exalted orbs in a 14 day period once, but I can go weeks without seeing one (12-16 hours every day).
I've found maybe 50 divines, again with strange lucky spells where I find 5 in 5 days, on at least 2 occasions I've found 2 divines in 3 hours. But again, I can go weeks without seeing one.
So where am I going with this?
I have found, in those 5100 hours, ~4000 of which are post eternal introduction, and a lot of which were with high IIQ, exactly 1 one ONE UNO eternal orb. It dropped about 2000 hours back. I have a friend with 3000 hours who has also seen only 1.
Do you think this is good design?
Do you think it is justifiable that people are eternal-exalting items, dozens, hundreds of times in the playground of the rich, which requires nothing more than trade profiteering? The people doing this are unlikely to have found even 1 eternal orb and many of them, with their time actually killing monsters, are unlikely to ever find one.
I've been crafting (lol) this wand
for 11 months now.
The last 2 mods are eternaled with the one and only eternal orb I found.
I expect I might actually finish it in about 10 years time, playing 12-16 hours a day, if I'm lucky. That is, playing the way I do, killing beasties, not engaging in the intended trade sim which I feel diminishes the game, trivialises the game and shortens the longevity. Sadly, not taking the intended, by design, short cuts, gates a player like myself from what could be a decent crafting system and also gates me from challenging content due to maps requiring several times more currency than they can ever reward without trading.
What are your thoughts on the eternal orb?
Casually casual.

Just wanted to note that with anything that has a very low drop-rate you'll see weird accumulations on who has gotten them as drops. Myself for example who has a play pattern very similar to you (possibly less playtime though, I don't really keep count), have found 3 exalts and 1 eternal orb, but I've never seen a divine orb drop ever.

Yes trading is OP. I got 100x the currency i got from trading than i got from killing stuff. That doesn't mean i can't do both though. It's the self-found league all over again. I like the idea, but until it's implemented (in your case better solo-drop rates), there is nothing else to do than play the game as it is intended to be played; killing stuff while trading as well.
I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

Well, no, I simply couldn't do both.
I can absolutely assure you, if I traded, I would have left this game never to return after 3 months. That would have circumvented nearly all the aRPG that PoE has, for me. That would have gotten my account to a point I wish to ever near but never reach.
Starting it all over again in a fresh league every 4 months? I care nothing for economy, I care nothing for leagues, I don't have a competitive bone in my body. The idea of start-circumvent-rush-overpower-repeat is not what I personally want out of an aRPG and I think you'll find many that did this for the first 2 leagues quickly got bored in the third and no longer play.
So i Start play in Relise Date again in Nemesis and - 0 Exalted 0 Ethernal orb drop for all my 6-7 charcter 60-72 lvl.
This is fail for this game my ADVICE: dont play this game. This drop rate is - unbalancing and fail.
And very very many unic items is this game is fail from vendor, so finaly conclusions:
1. Very bad drop rate good orbs - unbalancing.
2. Very many fail (sell to vendor) unic items drop and suports add more fail unic items.
3. Very bad idea - drop 1-50 lvl unic items to 60-80lvl Charcters (player 60-80lvl)
4. Very bad work stuff and admins GG, I create 3 times Bug report and use email stuff - so dont fix and dont help this fails situations in this game.
I dont play this game now because - this very fail moments and suport ignore this.

Does it even matter if he lies or posts constructive criticism if you guys will never give a fuck about the criticism of the loot system? There's tons of wasted potential in the system, but if you guys refuse to admit that, there's no reason for anybody to be constructive. It'll simply never lead to anything, so why bother?

Agree, support guys are really nice. 2 times i asked for help and responding time was quite fast.
If the game is so good why most people take a break and come back 1-2 months later?
You mean just like almost everyone did for D2? You aren't seriously advocating that the people playing d2 right now have been playing for 13 years straight without breaks?
I, like many people, left D2 and came back multiple times. Sometimes taking a break is good especially for games that have ladder resets(or league resets) and that have continual development(like d2 and POE.)
Furthermore, I would point out that d2 was a very successful game and you comparing the 2 is a huge credit to this game. So thanks for that.
