I’m not ignoring it, I accept it as a reasonable cost/balancing factor to be able to add whatever affixes I want to an item (assuming it has the open slots, obviously) & it not be the item editor with a few paltry extra clicks that you keep saying that you “totally don’t want”. At a young age I learned that I can’t have everything that I want whenever I want it.
As frequently as I do, I really don’t play as much as you think I do. I enjoy playing other game with & without friends (mostly Elite Dangerous for the ship-based pew pew & Dyson Sphere Program for the calming effect that having robotic minions do my construction-based bidding has). I’m also not as zoom-zoom or as efficiency-focused as you appear to believe I am, with the addition of the bonus stability, I will happily go through a mono & clear it out to get the full-ish bonus rather than run to the objective & then into the next mono.
You appear to be very happy to make gross generalisations about the mindset & moral competence of the people who disagree with you. It’s annoying and ####y, please stop it.
You can, you just won’t get it from any random white item that you pick up from the ground.
You can, I would refer you back to my comment about not getting everything you want whenever you want it.
You’re posting here, you aren’t one of the noble “casuals” that you, for some reason, put on a pedestal & worship.
@Dobster, is this true? Ignoring the fact that I’ve not been able to muster the energy to get beyond chapter 4 for the past ~4 leagues, have I ever had that level of gear? The only time I’ve had gear costing more than some chaos per item was Legion & that was because I played a somewhat busted build for the league mechanic (ED/Contagion) & 1 person was kind & when trading for a 6l Chaos DoT bow (for low single-digit exalts), he gave me a matching quiver for free 'cause we chatted & it was mid-way through the league & he was going to stop playing.
Why you seem to think that I’m some sort of magical player who can put in 25-30 hours a day for several days and end up with more currency than I would know what to do with I just don’t know. It’s bordering on offensive now & just shows that your argument is basically “I want nice stuff without the game putting obstacles in my way”. I spend far more time on the forum than in-game.
I’m not refusing to acknowledge it, that’s me. I have never had that level of currency in PoE. I have 17 exalts & 17 divines in standard & that’s only because they’ve been collecting dust in standard since PoE went to Steam something like 8 years ago.
My 2h melee Rogue build says hello.
Probably not, but not because I’m some uber-player like @LizardIRL, I just know more & have experienced a lot more (of LE if nothing else) than they will have.
It’s not, a skilled player who knows how to play the game as it is, not the game they wish it were like Lizard can & has done it, but I can’t be arsed to look for it. And when he does it “naked”, he means with a belt (for potions), boots (for movement speed) & possibly a weapon, I can’t remember.
How about we put those goalposts back where Macknum set them, eh? Just because you can’t do a thing doesn’t mean it can’t be done. I can’t do brain surgery, but that doesn’t mean that I think all brain surgeons are liars, nor would I expect a normal person off the street would be able to do it. Difficult things take practice.
Crafting t20 gear, I thought he said that. Many people who know how the system works have tried to tell you how to use it to the best advantage, you just don’t want to listen. That’s fair enough, but it’ll mean that if you keep on hammering away with your viewpoint, you’ll just get ignored.
Everybody thinks that, if you’re posting here, you really aren’t. You aren’t being attacked, you’re just being told things you don’t like to hear because they show you that you’re not doing it right. Which is your prerogative, but, well, have a nice life?
