Doesn't this mean he is going to be caught up in GGG bullshit and won't be updating PoB? Isn't this fucking terrible for the community?

Hopefully he's just making an official version of PoB. Basically the way they destroyed PoE trade with the official trade API. They're probably just going to have them work on their official tree calculator and tooltips.
Probably means we'll be getting an official GGG PathOfBuilding.

Naw, he said already he's on Mark's team and will be dealing with item/skill stats primarily. He actually got minion info from Mark during his interview at GGG. I suspect GGG will either carve out time from his schedule so that he can update it, or they won't and he'll turn the project over when he gets slow on updating it, but I doubt they'll create an official version anytime soon.

All the talk about Diablo made me itch for a good ARPG. Never played D3 and not going to give those cunts any money, so I decided to give this a go again.
I've only ever played Standard up to lvl 24, so I started Delve Hardcore with a friend last night. I'm enjoying Spectral Throw skill so far.

Is there some kind of trick to gearing up in this game or is everything just pure RNG luck. I hit lvl 50 few days ago and i keep getting my ass handed to me in act 6.
The problem i keep running into is that almost all the gear that drops is completely useless to my class or that the level 45 ish mobs drop gear several levels bellow theirs.
I collected some of the currency orbs but i dont have enough to be experimenting around without a plan.
As the game will get much harder as i progress what would you recommend for gearing up?

Look for good uniques here: Unique item
Buy them at PoE Goods
Mostly you want to focus on life and resists on your gear, if your resists are not capped by act 4 you're gonna have a bad time moving forward. An additional socket will give you more damage than pretty much any piece of gear you can get while leveling, so look at buying a Tabula Rasa or a 5 socket chest by level 40 or so if you can swing it.

Just got into this myself. Hit around level 40 or so. There's a lot to learn...

Don't be afraid to ask questions. No one here is going to defend the game's complexity being noob unfriendly. There's simply a lot in the game that you learn because someone else told you, not because the game did.
For example, did you know when you get a prophecy, it prerolls which tilesets(maps) it can appear? Meaning if you get a sweet strongbox prophecy and it doesn't preroll for your Elder UGS map, it will NEVER appear there until you seal and reapply it.
I didn't know this until a few months ago and I'm closing on 2400 hours played. That said, prophecy is a bit clunky and I only participate in it casually. But still, always some new rock to turn over in this game.

The problem is I don't know what I don't know if that makes sense. I'm following a molten strike build right now to the tee, so we'll see what happens

Thanks on the tip.
I just logged in quickly to check out my resists and get that stash deal, i go back to act 5 to mess around and first mob drops a decent rare Hammer with cold resist which i was low on, attack speed boost and 4 linked sockets that fit perfectly to my current skills.
Praise be unto RNGeesus and

his lucky charm.

Sure, movement speed is a high priority. The only place where it conflicts with resists and life is in the boot slot, so I didn't feel like it was worth the clarification.FTFY
