I'm a month in. Found an exalt in a barrel a few days ago. 100 hours.
it's like that time when I found a vex rune under a rock in D2 when the expansion first came out xD
Except its nothing like when you found that vex rune. In D2 you would be constantly finding things of worth that you could readily trade so finding that vex wasnt THE DROP. In POE its chaos/exalt or do a research paper to see what your shitty item is worth in low orbs to poe tycoon for days to trade all the while finding shitty uniques that nobody wants and hoarding them for shards/whatever the hell you can trick people into paying for them.
POE is not any different from when d3 barrel farming was more lucrative that killing shit. Its exactly the same now. Im willing to bet 10 exalts that someone would get more loot breaking everything on the way to piety than farming maps hour for hour for a few days.
