Why doesn't GGG disable chaos recipe just for one league?

It puts non-chaos recipe users like me to disadvantage in the economy game, and even if there are people who enjoy it, many do it just for its effectiveness while it takes away a lot from their fun with the game. Or just nerf it: one set one orb. Rare unidentified drops have no use otherwise. Maybe give ways to have corrupted drops like the new unique maps. I always checked those in the temple (tempest).

I fail to see how's a handful of chaos orbs gonna make or break your economy experince? I really doubt chaos recipe is what makes people rich in trade leagues. (but it's quite useful for SSF players)

It's not some orbs but 3-4 exalts in a day for total newbies just from the recipe while I like playing alch and go and got about the half of it. And they not even have to sell items because they got orbs instantly

BTW I've heard that bots do mostly chaos recipe, as well

Chaos recipe is part of a larger scale money-making system that does generate a pretty solid income of currency.

Early in league you can alch ilvl 60+ res/HP rings and stat ammies and sell anything with a decent HP roll + decent resists for a few chaos. Depending on the meta, rings with good damage and/or mana regen can also sell. If Ele Hit doesn't get nerfed, for example, expect rings with EDwA plus basically anything to fetch a premium. Anything that doesn't roll with those stats you can use in the Chaos recipe.

I think it's pretty ridiculous to say, however, that "I don't do X thing because I don't want to and, therefore, you should take it out of the game."

There needs to be a steady stream of Chaos heading into the economy because they're too useful. They're used to roll maps all the time. The racing meta would basically change completely in a way that nobody really wants to happen if the recipe was taken out.

Nobody really knows what would happen and this is why it should be tested. There are lot of people complaining about chaos recipe and they could be silenced for some time if just for one league it would be disabled.

For one prices may be lower which would favor normal people with a job.

I've not being doing the chaos recipe after day 2 in the Incursion Flashback Event. I'm doing this for the first time while playing a league.

Quite surprisingly, I'm generating an equal amount of chaos orbs by selling the jewelry, if not more. I don't find it as reliable as the chaos recipe (you need to wait a while for expensive jewelry to sell), but I feel the gameplay is (much) faster without fitting and storing pieces for the recipe.

So this thread has no point to it in my opinion / experience.

Maybe you are right, but it still would be an interesting economic experiment which can't really cause to much trouble.

lolwat?

"Normal people with a job" are hugely favored by the existence of the Chaos recipe. You could slam map after map after map without doing Chaos recipe and *probably* make more currency on average, but if you're a "normal person with a job" then you're not running enough maps to give the RNG a chance to average out. The Chaos Recipe gives *you* a guaranteed return on your investment which you can then use as currency, but if you just slam 20 maps or so in a night without bothering to check rares, you could come out the other end with jack squat.

If you don't want to participate in the economy, play SSF. Otherwise, don't complain about being poor when there's a huge pile of money on the ground right next to you just waiting to get picked up.

EDIT: Also, yes. As someone else has said, the ways you get genuinely wealthy in this game are through trade. Chaos Recipe will get you money, but it won't get you rich.

Poe's gameplay has lots of problems but -for me- it is much better when I don't have to do the completely mindless micromanagement of the stash tabs, the inventory etc. But because of this decision I may not have the currency to buy the items for my build and can't do some content even if I have access to it. Shortly I have to farm lower tier content for currency which is almost so bad as doing chaos recipe
