Unfortunately it seems the economy is really struggling, I've had some really good drops that aren't selling, makes progressing extremely hard.
I think divines are just too rare to have a liquid enough economy to support the loot that's dropping (altho rarely) it's like getting a mirror day 1 of a league, it's worth a ton but nobody can buy it.
Losing half the player base isn't helping either. Divines just aren't going to keep up with the amount of good rare items dropping.
Low <10c items are fine it seems but anything over a divine seems to not be moving.

yes, exactly. I don't have divines so I can not buy anything, people do not have divines, so my stuff isn't selling. I'm around 200-300 maps estimated and 1 ex and 0 divs . This is bs as without divines there is no alternative gearing path aka crafting. And not every build plays nice with white gear in yellow or red maps, in fact most don't.

I mean to be fair, you needed to trade for exalts to buy stuff too most of the time. Raw exalt drops weren't so common you could entirely buy your gear with them directly, usually you converted shit to chaos, then bought some exalts to buy your stuff. Not saying the drops aren't worth this league, just if you need divines to buy stuff with, you shouldn't expect to loot them.

You could farm ex shards in Harbinger and there are several div cards that give ex. There's always been ways to get exalted orbs. The entire game economy has been based around exalted orbs and, along with fucking currency drops, they have total destroyed the economy with this change. All because Chris is mad that people made fun of him for wanting us to ex slam items.

Yeah I know, I made a post about that before release and how dumb it was, there were additional ways to get exalteds sure, but that only meant there were more in circulation and unless you were specifically building around farming ex yourself, it was just much more simple to buy your exalts to trade with. I don't think a lot of people actually relied 100% on their dropped exalts to buy stuff, in fact I'd bet it was a very very small minority of people. That's what the post was complaining about though, not being able to buy things with dropped divines, but that wasn't going to happen regardless. You take your chaos, buy some divines, then buy the stuff you need, this hasn't changed.

Saw the card that gives like 5ex show up on a Ritual. I cried a little (was 3 cards out of the 7 or whatever was needed).

Tomorrow is gonna be a pivotal day in the life of PoE. The community at large is either gonna collectively go "fuck this game" or "finally ggg understands". The former only requires ggg to continue with their current corporate line of ignorance, arrogance and indifference, but to achieve the latter, ggg must do so much that they don't wanna do, something that in their eyes is almost impossible. They have to revert the loot rules back to 3.18, anything less at this point is not enough. But what is gonna happen is most likely Chris "Domehead" Wilson is gonna write 6 paragraphs of vague excuses, followed by the usual "we learned from this" in various different forms, and ending with a thin list of sub-par buffs to areas of the game where it has least amount of impact. After that ggg will go radio silent when it comes to communication for at least a week, apart from maybe releasing minor bug fix patches. Just like the always do after fucking up the league start, which is basically every single time. I for one looking forward for tomorrow

I have like 5ex and 2divines but am so bad at the game I, like usual, just sit on the currency till I quit then give it all away because I have no idea whats worth buying for upgrades. I did get to an all time new of bosses kills this league. Usually i never hit minotaur/hydra/chimera etc.. but have downed them + searing + eater. No idea how to get Maven or to Elder/Shaper fights but figure I'll find out at some point just by playing. Lightning strikes has been working pretty well if feeling somewhat squishy (to me).

Chris already stated and made VERY clear that there would be no Divine Shards too.
