So i logged off after my last death and was about to start a different character and was so disgusted that i came to the forums. I had gotten to a point once again where playing felt more like a job than actually having fun. I want my own progression so i play SSF. I don't want to be forced into trading and buying items as it isn't fun for me.
I have played since release and every league i hit the same wall. I level to 93-94 and than it just stops. No upgrades because the currency i try to farm never drops. I have seen 4 Perfect Exalted Orbs since the start of week 3 when i was doing Level 80 area maps. I have target farmed ritual with 6 mod maps(which one portal maps are beyond irritating). I have 100% rarity on gear. The maps i run never have less than 175 total rarity and usually over 200 rarity. My atlas is specced for every node that increases quantity, rarity and increases to waystone and tablets. I have watched countless videos(which i think is a joke that i even have to) I use 2 ritual tablets and one boss tablet for area level 80.I have seen one purple omen in 3 weeks. I have done the same approach with Abyss to try and get more higher end currency and same results. I farmed 30 Level 81 logbooks only to find out the drops in logbooks are horrible and only thing they are good for is splinters. I do not like the breach so i don't do it. I hit the /played and it looks like from league start to now i am playing about 5.5 hours per day. I have followed Fubgar build guide for Poison Burst Arrow and know what i would like to achieve. I know the gear i would like to craft but the drop rates in this game just sucks.
I feel like logging on every day to play for 5+ hours has turned into a never ending slog. There are 7 weeks left to this league and i honestly just feel like looking for another game. POE2 is a great game but its unsustainable for many of us once we hit a certain point due to the endless grind and never achieving anything.
My suggestions would be one of the following. Pick one path and make it work.
1)A real crafting system that when you actually get the higher end currencies there is a realistic chance of getting the outcome that you want.
2)Increase the drop rate of high end currency ALOT and keep your current slot machine crafting system. After 9 weeks i should have seen 100's of Perfect Exalted Orbs and not just 4.
3)Instead of littering the ground with mind numbing amounts of garbage drops create character specific tier drops so that don't have shit modifers. The best way to put it is make drops actually exciting. Currently after 9 weeks i pick up bases and currency. I used to pick up more but the DESTRUCTINATOR isn't worth my time.
I am sure there are other ideas. It sucks to have to look for a different game as this game has a ton of potential.
If playing SSF you have to stick to builds that don't need specific items or top tier gear. Otherwise you hit a wall.

The build doesn't require any specific items just crafted gear.(the gloves in the build guide are a nice chase item but not needed) You can't craft higher tier gear if the higher tier currencies and omens never drop. My current displayed damage on poisonburst arrow in hideout is just shy of 20k. The gear i have is average at best. The fun is the chase and when the chase becomes a full time job there is no fun.

Because he/she never played it so he/she don't know how bad it actually is.

What does proper scaling mean?
You haven`t played diablo 4.
Your statements about diablo 2 are simply untrue.
You haven`t mentioned last epoch which has a system directly referring to Your case.
What makes You think Your definition of proper is proper or even better than this topic contributors?
GGG has tons of raw data to base their decision off. Yet You seem to ignore that completely.
Couple of clearly more experienced players tried to gently explain what is wrong with Your statements and attitude toward goals/chase/carrot. Yet You seem to ignore that completely.
Sorry pal but right now seems like your goal is to post farm with gib me more loot attitude. I sincerely suggest You to try LE/Diablo4 because they seem to suit You and Your 5 friends more. Maybe go back to diablo2 and try to rethink those non-miserable loot tables chasing after enigma or any high rune related runeword. Great update was released couple of days ago.
OR
since You have that much time to answer for each and every post separately, maybe watch some videos improving Your game knowledge. Seriously, even some shorts during taking shit can be gamechangers for Your SSF journey/general game knowledge.

It's quite related. Shows how some games failed while others didn't. Of course, it wasn't the sole reason for d4 bad, but it was a big one. Same for why I never took Last Epoch seriously while people thought it would become a competitor. It's pretty much dead nowadays
Poe2 is a trade game, the whole system is balanced around trade, from drops to skill damage. You expect a core part of the game to change simply because you want, a part which is exactly what attracts many people who ran away from other arpgs
Ask for changes to ssf if you want and that might be a little more reasonable, even though it's supposed to be a self imposed challenge I could still get behind some changes that affect only ssf

its shrimple: crafting material drop need to keep scaling since act 2 because right now it feels like scaling stops , like clearing whole map in endgame with 3-6 mods gives you 0-2 regals (WHICH IS GODDAMN LOW TIER CRAFT MAT) 0-2 exalts (you need in thousands to craft anything) my point is that ggg needs to scale crafting material drop rate according to challenge , like in poe 1 when you get to the late game most craft materials start dropping as 3x base so from 0-2 3-whatever.
knowledge aint gonna help you when you get 0 craft materials only because ggg wants you to trade

no trade - easy crafting = go and play dead d4 and dead last epoch
long term rank1 ARGP = play poe1 and poe2.
simple.
trade is important
