Off topic, but I forgot this one, an act of the rng god:

And can't resist the temptation of posting this:

Finding a 6L : O

I wonder how much did this happen in the game : o I think it's rarer than a mirror ^^

My suspicion still stands and hasn't been disproven yet.

The more you run a specific area, the less you find. Period.

It's like the game knows.

I notice it when farming bosses, I notice it in docks, I notice it in lunaris.

first few runs seem okay, then it takes a nosedive as long as I continue to farm that specific area over and over again without breaking it up whatsoever.

For example.

1. Merveil
2. Dock run
3. Merveil
4. Dock run
5. Merveil

Always seems a little more forgiving than

1. Merveil
2. Merveil
3. Merveil
4. Merveil
5. Merveil

or

1. Dock run
2. Dock run
3. Dock run
4. Dock run
5. Dock run

Diablo 2 was the exact same way imo although mfing in that game was insanely easy because of an actual good and useful teleport function.

Many players like to grind The Docks before heading into Maps. We're completely happy for grinding areas to exist - it's fun to have some relatively mindless play options when you don't want to have to pay close attention to surviving difficult Map content. In addition, it's nice to have play options that let you accumulate wealth without spending any (Maps are expensive to craft correctly). Grinding the Docks isn't totally safe though - we frequently see dangerous boss combinations kill players.

In Pink's thread about repeat farming of Fellshrine it was alluded to that a system might be in place which gives an instance in individual IIR/Q favouritism to specific items for the duration of a specific period of time. So for one hour you'd be more likely to find Alchemies but in the next hour you'd be more likely to find Jewellers. Someone suggested WoW uses this method to help create a sense of variety.

What I don't understand, is if there's really a diminushing mechanic return in POE, why GGG does not say it on the forums? If the objective of this mechanic is to force players to farm in different places, why would they let us farm in the same place for one or two years before we clearly discover that mechanic? It's not like if they were not communicating a lot with the community.
