Well i HAVE been doing just that on all my 76 maps and still go back to 74s so IDK!
And he was investing all that on his 74s+ as well just not Domination!

well I missed the part when he was doing 74s.

do you solo ? if so you already in a worse position than etup party because you cant split costs and have to basically spend 6x a full party currency to run maps.

Etup hasn't partied much, just maybe with bob for a few levels. He's been soloing lately because it's easier and safer, plus everyone is playing Skyforge

he only parties with bob on the most rippy shitass mods 80+ maps, thats also because bob works and they cant play together 24/7 + bob plays skyshitforge

I'd prefer to have Etup grind it out super fast and demonstrate to GGG that their ideas of balance by starving the players doesn't work as intended. Then maybe the GGG team can loosen up the map drops and work on higher leveled and more dangerous maps instead.

THIS is exactly why im rooting for him to hit 100! Hes so close and at the rtae hes been going hes going to make the best time ever as well! Doing just that... Proving gimping the map drops is NOT HELPING ANYTHING!! Then maybe they will finally just increase the Exp from 90-100 so Etup and the like can STILL do their thing just like hes doing now AND be slowed while doing it like GGG want AND everyone else can finally enjoy POE Endgame!

Sure glad I don't feel compelled to put myself through all of the anguish you guys do. Sounds pretty horrible.

Sometimes being a baddie is a blessing :)

I find the whole thing fascinating to read about.

it's like reading Fortune on your day off, knowing the most stressful thing in your life is getting through a day in the office, of which at least 20% is spent posting here.

As with real life, there is a surprisingly low threshold of wealth in games signifying the maximum happiness; everything after that is just more of more for the sake of more.

Well thats one of the biggest issues with the endgame mapping system right now... its feels like a day at the office... like a Job! A really shitty job your starting to get tired of and starting to look for another one! Its not about wealth or more.. its about how much MORE we are being asked of just to have Fun! This is a video game still i thought.. And when a video game begins to feel like a job its no longer fun! And games are also to escape some of lifes roughness... coming into more isnt fun! Kinda takes away from the point of even doing it!

Some people like yourself may not enjoy Endgame.. maybe your thing is making interesting builds.. i do that myself sometimes! This time i just happend to make a strong build with the purpose of doing the Endgame content and now that content is no where to be found! Theres actually suppose to be new endgame content now yet i cant even get to play the old endgame content because of the changes to maps! so its a little frustrating!

Especially after ive already give in and quit Standard because its pretty much a waste of time and commitment of more time fixing builds rather than just making new ones! I mean im adjusting to everything as i always do but when something isnt working quite right no matter how much you put into it then theres a problem and it should be addressed! Because if im putting all this effect into this for nothing then ofcourse theres no way in hell you or others who are already not fond of endgame are going to even try... does GGG not want players to enjoy all aspects of the game? I certainly wouldnt think so!

It shouldnt be like that players should be able to earn their way into endgame.. and by earn i mean dont give us dice to see if we earn it! RNG on gear and loot and everything else is one thing but rolling the dice to see if you get to participate in the endgame content just seems flawed!

You can't afford to spend 30c rolling a map when maps don't average 30c of drops. Therefore you have to supplement that kind of mapping "somehow".

trading. pooling with others. maps, especially high ones are supposed to be a currency sink, not self-sustaining entities

things you forget is
2. His viewers give him many currencies and map, last time i saw a guy give him 500 alt orbs.

This should not be allowed, what the fuck?

Actually he won't make the best time ever, though that would either be beating his own personal record or Yoshi's record (unsure which had the faster game time but his record is 2 weeks flat so he's about 2 days off at this rate).

And while I'd like to believe GGG will do the intelligent thing and really, really rethink their approach this time when Etup dings 100... Fool me once, shame on me, fool me 25 times nuh-uh. Whether due to developer pride or a grand plan none of us can see, GGG has proven they do not resile from changes that make the game less fun.
