Drops are all worthless fix the game plese POE2

I have now been playing POE2 for about 6 months. Every economy is the same story I very rarely get a good drop I can actually use or trade. I have yet to be able to destroy the high levels of endgame content. The items i now need to progress my build are between 25 - 200 DIV. Players that are getting good drops are charging way to much for items. I play 8 to 12 hours a day I trade I farm I grind like crazy and there is no way for me to be able to afford the items I need. I have never once found an item worth more then 1 - 3 div. I watch youtube videos for setting up my atlas points to builds ect. I really enjoy the game but it's frustrating when to get where i need to be, I may never be able to farm or trade enough to buy the items to get any stronger or ever able to really dominate the higher tiers of endgame content, because of they crazy prices players are asking for items. Never even seen a Mirror. the is no excuse for this given the time I put in. These other players are not playing more than me it's not humanly possible. I'm starting to wonder how many players are actually buying currency with real money to buy the big ticket items they need to be able to complete the end game content at its hardest levels. I log toms of time and am very good at games like this yet here i am struggling to get enough currency to buy rings and other items that literally are listed for a mirror or 200 divs. It's going to take me a year just to get 100 div at this rate. i am so over it. and about ready to move on if I can't make some headway and get some of the items i need. Why are the drops such garbage all the time? there is no real crafting system to be able to craft good stuff so you are solely at the mercy of the drops in the game (which are always garbage) and the players who are greedy asf and selling stuff for way to high of prices. Fix the game already. If anyone has any tips or suggestions please reply.

Drops are clearly worthless... Paragraphs also, it seems.

i'm tired and don't really care if a paragraph is written properly. As long as someone can read and understand what i am talking about is all i care about no need to be rude.

you're meant to slog it out for 6-12 months until you get lucky.

imagine paying almost 3 div for pinnacle fragments and the loot that comes out of the encounter is worth 1ex. that is the current state of the game. its sad.

Next patch supposed to tweak drops from Bosses at least. Not playing to hard or fast until such occurs this week.

POE 2 Current Drop Rate:

Exalt Orb = 'Maybe' you will see 1-3 of them per map.
Regal Orb = 1-2 per map.
Divine Orb = maybe you will find one in 8 hours of straight gaming.
Mirror = Maybe 1 player found Mirror in a whole season, the average player? me and you? we can forget about it, but we can dream about it.
Orb of Chance = Maybe you will find 1 in 3 days of gaming
Orb of Annulment = More Rare than a Divine (which is funny because it's a basic core item for crafting)

POE 2 Mid/Late Season Market:

Divine = 100-120 Exalts

and i can keep go on and on...but i'm tired of this

AS for the Steam Player count , somewhat of 70 to 100 thousand are playing.

But the Most high end Players stopped playing and they are also people that are fixing the Market and making Money with currency and Item flipping and Trading.
Because of thaty the Market was mostly stable.
But some items where overpriced ( because of only 1 meta class )

Now that the top 2 % are gone. The Asia botters are fully controlling the Market. They are pushing the divine prices , so that normal Players are maybe thinking about currency trade per real Money .

They are also buying through bot systems, all valuable items and controlling high prices.

And AS Long GGG eont so anything agajnst this asian companys - there could BE a possibility , that GGG are allowing iT, because of own Profit.

Its so obvious that nothing happens and more and more advertising from gold seller Sites are all iver the place.
They also doing YouTube Videos Like +top 10 builds+ and advertising their hompages. Also you geht gold seller links in YouTube between poe2 Videos .

I am really really concerned about GGG and the direction, they are taking .
( For example the poe1 settlers League ist Like a Test of gatcha Elements )

Their Game IS more and more a gamble House. With FOMO Elements and Elements, that force you to think about buying for real Money.

I cant understand people, that are doing this. But it must been working, because the asian bot Market, gets bigger and bigger

It really sucks because I do really enjoy playing the game, but it's getting to the point where its not worth it anymore for me. Is Last Epoch available on Xbox? Can't wait for GTA 6 to hit the market it will be bye bye to poe2 until they get their shit together. Or if they bring Helldivers 2 to Xbox it's a wrap dying to play that and my 12 hours a day would be much better spent there. Thinking about buying a PS5 just so I can play Helldivers 2. Best game that's hit the market in the past 10 years.

I love me a slow tactical game, so I think I'm the target audience for the PoE 2 vision, but yes holy crap where are the items?

Killing rare mobs on t15 and having them drop 1 magic item, zero rares zero currency. Opening a yellow strong box with +50% rarity on the map and getting two white items. Getting 5 rares from a boss and having each and every one of them ruined by a crucial affix rolling t1.

I found one divine last week. None before, none since, playing at t13+ and using as many +rarity tablets as I can find.

I love this game but my motivation to play is waning. It's hard making no character progress day after day.

The weird thing is I do not remember it being this bad in 0.1. Loot was still light compared to most arpgs...but it existed.

This is rough.
