Average state of the game for me

I would consider myself a little bit more than an average ARPG gamer. I played when the game first came out and had an absolute blast. This update/patch/league whatever you like to call it...is terrible. I play with my two cousins and we normally have a lot of fun. but we are now all above level 80 with almost nothing to account for. Between the 3 of us we have found 2 divines. we are at tier 10 maps with only me be able to do tier 12's. We have barely any exalts to juice any maps. none of us are able to interact with the crafting systems in the game because we have no currency. we farmed maps for about 3 days averaging 2-3hours a day and have gotten around 15exalts total. We have only found 2 greater jeweler orbs and no perfects. we all do not have max resistance. nobody has bought 1 item from my 4 market tabs and I have dropped the prices extremely low and still nothing. Almost cant even give it away. We do not have max quality on all of our skill gems. none of our gear is even good or max quality. the game has no dopamine hit for anything...you grind hours and hours of maps and get nothing...no rewards. The game is blatantly is not fun. we have no currency and obviously most of the player base doesn't either because nothings selling. being as we are level 83 and feel weak as hell and poor as hell every time I play is showing us that our time is not being valued and playing games are supposed to be fun and decompress us from our daily grind. If this is the "vision" of the game makers than they must have their heads in the dirt. Is anyone else having a similar experience?

I made it to level 91 with the supposedly "OP" lightning spear and it never stopped being a miserable experience.
