I play 2h a day before sleep. Leveled my char in aroound 20h to 70, 20 more hours to lvl to 80 and gear up for maps. In this state I was ready to farm maps. In 60 more hours I saved up 18 exalts and bought 6L chest. After that I don't care about mods. Pls note I farmed my 6l as a melee on maps. All this solo or duo with a friend.

This is such an atypical scenario that I don't even know where to start...

I guess with the fact that approximately 95% (yes, this number is entirely made up, but I'd wager money that it's pretty close to accurate) of PoE users will never even see 18 exalts worth of currency in their entire game career in PoE.

You got lucky. Very lucky. So insanely lucky that I find it hard to believe.

And I suppose if this is your first experience within PoE I can't fault you for saying what you did, like everyone should be able grind out 15+ exalts worth of currency in a matter of days. But you should know that there are a TON of people, myself included (as a CI sporker no less...), who spend 3-5 hours a day farming and haven't gained that kind of currency over the course of MONTHS.

So no, it's not as easy as you make it out to be, and I'd wager if you had to do it all over again you'd probably have a vastly different opinion.

• Frame One: ranged shoots mob, mob is still alive; melee is moving towards mob.
• Frame Two: ranged shoots mob, mob is still alive; melee arrives at mob but hasn't done anything.
• Frame Three: ranged shoots mob, mob finally dies; melee uses melee AoE ability, entire mob is one-shot and dies.

Maybe you do something wrong ? Because you know all this came from crappy rare sold for alts and traded to exalts. Also ocationals trades of good items for around 3 gcp each in general. Never we got insane uniqs dropped, no shiv or khaoms. GCP from gem recepie, chaoses from item recepies.
110 MF on me and 300 MF on my friend who did finishing blows on rares and bosses. 5-10 minutes per map, no map reroling, going on the mods we got with alch. After my 6L for 18 exalts we spent around the same amount of time and bought him 6L lioneye glare for 19 exalts.
Also as we play only 2h a day, 60 hours is a month of real time. And that benefited us because that was a lot of spare time for ppl to buy our gear.
Luck is a jump in wealth, there's no luck involved when you get lower currencies worth exalt after every 3 evenings you played.

This is exactly how myself and everyone on my FL who has decent gear has acquired it; very few people actually get that crazy Shav's or other crazy expensive drop.

Everyone complaining about melee being bad either has no idea how to optimize their builds, no idea how to itemize, or blows all their small currency on stupid shit and can't afford any decent equipment because of it. And optimized builds doesn't mean cookie cutter; I'm playing a Phys Crit Cleave HP Shadow, which goes against a lot of the current meta for melee builds, and I'm having no problem doing my 74 maps so far.
