Don't you miss making a sorc and mfing nicely while leveling up your other characters? it felt great doing all this mix in the game! And it didn't feel hard and time consuming even though in the end, it was.

I liked it (obviously, because I liked d2) but I also like poe's style of progression.

In d2 your mf char is what progresses all of your gear progression and all of your other chars are basically playgrounds. Sure I don't mind that, but like I said, anyone who does not like to mf could not play the game longer than just getting through the story (killing diablo and maybe getting rushed to hell baal just for the hell of it) because of this.

Sawm has it almost completely backwards. If you don't mf in d2 you do not get rewarded. You don't progress just by playing. Just like Poe you could spend days mf'ing and get no uniques. However in poe you get tons of currency just from selling rares and drops from trash mobs. That is what I call progression just from playing the game.

If you play poe the same way that you would play d2 (picking the most efficient farm char to start, MF sorc) you can get a similar effect. Playing a summoner or Detonate Dead or many others can get you right to the highest level of maps in a short time with bad items.

Generic Korean Grinder > PoE in terms of hardcore time spent.

look at this (from another topic)

for players who don't want to use 2000 fusings and fail to six-link an item, you can pay 1500 to do it at a crafting bench. Note that the odds of rolling this naturally have always been slightly lower than 1 in 1500 anyway

HOW ON EARTH am I supposed to get 1500 fusing orbs?after an hour playing, how many do you get? 1? 2?

Let's say 2 to be super positive and let's make rapid math.

1500/2 = 750 hours

Let's say that I play 2 hours on monday night, 2 on thursday and what, 4 during the week end (that's alrdy a lot but hey, at some point I have to give something in) That's 8 hours per week. Getting 6 links will take me 93 weeks, ALMOST 2 YEARS.

And you're not counting vacations.

Of course you could say "hey but you're finding a lot of other stuff in the meantime that you can sell to get fusing orbs faster". Yes but this IS the problem. I'm not playing a hack and slash to end up trading half of the time. I want to PLAY the game.

To avoid that, a little more good stuff dropping and you wouldn't NEED to spend SO MUCH TIME farming and trading, you could actually level up with what you find up until level 80/85. Of course I am not asking for drops of full linked 6 socks ultimate armor + weapon, no, I'm asking for more reasonable good stuff and so far it doesn't happen.
