Economy is in a troubling state

The Economy in Path of Exile 2 is in a troubling state.

There are multiple Issues to this.

The first is RMT.
The way RMT seems to work is that they craft mirror tier Items and then generate insane amounts of currency with it.

The solution to this as mentioned in another Tread is to simply remove the mirror. And i wholeheartedly support this. The mirror is a cool item and a fantastic experience to drop. But it doesnt provide any value to the Playerbase. 99.9% will never see a mirror.

Another reason is groupplay, aurabots (gravebind) and rarity. It all plays together here. Aurabots will stack rarity to 600+ and because of Gravebind they apply that rarity to every mob killed in the map. Combined with rarity tablets and the Quantity increase of Group Play generates copious amounts of currency. We are talking about hundreds of Exalts per Map here, over 100 Chaos Orbs per map, 10+ divines per map. Its just frankly insane.

Solution to this is more complicated and there are many ways to fix it. You can simply cap rarity, you can remvoe Gravebind, you cna modify gravebind so it doesnt apply rarity, you can change group play. Something has to happen here. It cant continue like this, it hurts the game and the economy.

The changes to the endgame in 0.3.1 might improve this a slight bit or make it worse. I cant tell as of now. My guess right now is that it will make it better, because you cant stack as much quantity anymore. It still wont be good tho.

They should remove all types of +rarity and +quantity except for the ones that are directly dependent on map difficulty.

I know this is not a 100% fair solution, either, because some mods that cripple one build are a piece of cake for another, but it would be a start.

How can mirror items generate currencies? And why people generate more currencies is hurting the economy? Should you put a cap on how many currencies you can drop per day then?

it would be enough to go and see how the inflation mechanism works in the real world

You have an item that is very valuable you provide a mirroring service, people pay you to get that item mirrored. And well that way you generate currency. With that currency you craft more items. While at the same time sell a portion of the currency you generate this way. Just look in the trading forum. Several mirror service threads

And on the Trade site you cna also list mirroring services


If you generate currency out of thin air it will drive inflation. That is basic economics. Look at the end of the weimar republic.

And no you shouldnt. The problem is simply with rarity aurabots and party play you generate way too much currency which drives inflation. And therefore hurting the economy.

When I kill a rare mobs, currencies literally drop out of thin air, am I contributing to inflation then? Ok maybe if it’s not droping too much then it’s fine, but how much is too much? Do you want to cap currencies per map then?
I can play like at most 2 hours per day, how can I compete with people who play all days farming currencies? Isn’t it fair that I receive a portion of their currencies too? Should we have a public currencies pool and tax all the rich players who abuse rarity stack and group plays and then distribute equally to everyone then?

money isn't created in the same way as poe currencies

ok but anyone can make a rarity bot and farm currency and craft gear..... Like that's kinda the point of the game... So you're mad other ppl are more efficient and instead of getting better at you want to stop them from doing it???? This whole people against group play thing is fucking stupid, you can do the exact same thing and lots of people do it's how you make currency in the game but you'd rather complain about it for some reason. You not doing it and complaining about it is asinine it's like complaining about someone who has the same job as you making more money cause they're better at the job.

As i said before nobody said anything about capping currency at all. What youre doing is called a strawman argument.

Also yes you do contribute a small bit to inflation. A bit of inflation is normal.

The issue is the degree of inflation rarity bots cause.

If you play alone and not much per day this hurts you especially because everything gets more expensive. Also stop your useless baut questions. Those are bogus arguments.

Im not mad at people? Where did you get that from. Yes everyone can use that. And im not saying they shouldnt.

Im using that myself. Doesnt mean i think its good. Thats why im giving feedback to GGG here. I didnt tell anyone to stop doing it. If anyone has to act its GGG and if they do sth. its also to late for this league so next league or the meague after etc.

You read to much into my post.
