Goddess Bound should be worth the same as any given unique that can drop in the game, since it's of the highest rarity tier. Or, yknow, Goddess Bound is worth X Bringers of Rain, since BoR isn't top tier rarity despite its reign.

You sure about that? Because it would mean I'm "soo lucky" to have looted two of them, while zero BoRs or similar popular "more common" items I'd actually want & need.

I'd also prefer to have loot tables in PoE, but GGG probably thinks that would "hurt" the glorious economuh... Imagine people having the option and preferring to hunt items by looting (more time investment into the actual game), over instant shopping gratification. Preposterous!!

It's in the highest tier. I've never looted one actually.

Looks like you've scored a jackpot with a top tier rarity unique. Too bad the quality of the same unique belongs to the lowest tier.

Sounds right to me. I've had/seen some nice drops, including seeing a mirror drop, but I've yet to see that sword.

It's the highest tier for skin-transfer quality, though. :)

Steam so reliable

On-topic:
This is a good change, but people will still complain.

Gonna be honest, I really have no idea why anyone would be against this change. Even if you think the economy will somehow be ruined (it wont) why is the economy so important to your ability to play the game itself?

I've found 2ex so far in 12 hours since the change. It took me 280 hours to find the first one. I hope the currency system doesn't fall apart and I don't have exalts piling up. That would kill the game for me real quick.

Oldschool d2 players play this game FOR the economy, and the idea that chaos, eternal, and ex right now resemble soj's and other useful mainstream currency to some extent.

Because it further separates the mid-high tier uniques and God tier even higher. For super casual players this is good, for semi-casual to no-lifers that want to play those powerful builds, now they have to trade more of the lower ones to get there. Super casual players, and by this I am talking 5 hrs or less a week, never have a real chance at owning one of the big ones, and are more than happy to have Rise of the Phoenix drop twice as often. I am not happy I will have to sell even more stuff to get one.

People have this false promise land idea that doubling them will allow people to find stuff they need, when in reality you're going to find twice as many you don't. Pushing you to trade them for a depreciated value.

Kaoms, Shavs, Molj and CoE will still be in the 30ex range, yet the rest may fall on value UP TO %50. If it were a real buff, they would have been buffed equally. To be honest, I see the "Ultra Rare" going even higher than 30ex next league due to the range being increased between rare and ultra rare.

It's cool, more drops = more fun = more trading.

game also need moar uniques so players can corrupt the hell out of them

The main problem is not the drop rate, the problem is that there are too much crap unique and that those crap uniques drop too much in higher level areas

in endgame content, Crown of thorn should be as race as Shavronnes...
