T7 being more profitable than hardest maps killed the league for me

Title basically.

The fact of such miscalculation singlehandedly killed any remaining motivation i had for this league.

How's more difficult not equal more rewarding? How did we got here?
And the most importantly, how is it still not patched?

is it some MF thing? when poe1 had mf people farmed white or yellow maps with their rarity gear and it was just as rewarding as red maps but much less deadly

how it works:

greaters/perfects start dropped at area level 72/73 - meaning that some of the "lesser" orbs are added to accumulation pool (e.g. regals/exalts/augs)

if you don't get accumulation, you have a higher chance that that item is upgraded from your rarity on map/gear/tablets.

divines don't have greaters/perfects - so there is no accumulation going on

this means that killing faster OR doing easier content will always yield more raw divs. So you run T7 for max clear speed/easier content - it's the sweet spot to avoid allocation (aka no-drop)

It's always been like this. The higher the map level, the higher the item level. The more tiers of properties can affect them. The more random. The more garbage. The smaller the profit. It's just that it's been officially recognized now!

It might mean less raw divs, yes.

But like, you are also getting other items

Even ignoring non-currencies... Have you seen the prices on Perfects?

You get no exp. All you get is a bit more currency in your stash which is kind of pointless. It's only good if the game for you is just about increasing the number of divines in stash.

In T15s you get exp, currency and other stuff (bases and perfect orbs).

Players used to do this kind of stuff in POE1 too. Grinding T1s for Headhunter div cards for example.

i realy dont get what the problem is. if you like to do harder content, do that, if you dont then dont do it. Why would anyone care about this?

The issue isnt the t7 maps its how you have to have rarity to feel like your getting good drops

The most profitable farm for me is still citadel for corrupted fragments, like hundreds of chaos per hour, and on too of that I take advantage of natural overrun point with increased difficulty with closed pit mod t15 maps. I’m lvl97 and my exp going up steadily, might do something else if hit 100.
