Early mapping in PoE2 is exceptionally boring

I have finished roughly 50 maps after finishing campaign. And I wanted to say that was very boring experience.

There are a few things I dislike:
- In 50 maps I have only upgraded 1 essence wheel on the atlas tree. And it was not a strong buff, I cannot even guarantee it spawning to farm it without juicing.
Meanwhile in PoE 1 you can farm any content you want consistently simply by using "alch and go" and still farming the mechanic you like.
If it was PoE 1 with 50 points of atlas skills, I could guarantee the mechanic I like to spawn on every map and buff it significantly. In PoE 2 same number of maps provides you with one very generic wheel.
- Precursor's tablets are similar to scarabs but I only dropped 2 of them during my mapping, and those even were not for mechanics I would like to farm. So once again, since you can't invest into it on atlas passive tree you are obliged to trade for them, if you want to farm a certain mechanic even with the lowest possible investment.
- No atlas device crafting to farm what you want either.
- In this timeframe I played 1-7 tier maps. And through this time, I could not even upgrade any of the special wheels for specific mechanics, because they require higher tiers of maps. It just was too boring to go further, and I was not even sure how much more I had to play to buff it even a little bit.

In conclusion: you can't consistently farm content you like and even if you do, it will take you a long time before you get even the first upgrade. This is why I dropped PoE 2 endgame even though I enjoyed campaign quite a lot (even if I dislike the new crafting system and my minions were constantly getting stuck).

It's true that mapping is horrible in PoE2, but to be fair if you have only done t1-t7 you are so far behind even touching actual endgame. Finish all the map quests. Actually do 20+ t15s, and then make this post.

Bullshit. Nothing change. I did like 200 T15 if you want to gate me too. Why you even lying to him?

Man, I have all achievements in this game, and I have 6 leagues where I have done 40 challenges. Kalandra was one of my favorite leagues even though most people hated it. Grinding is not the issue for me.

This is precisely the point, farming/grinding/crafting was not fun at all after finishing 6 acts. I don't grow bored at regular PoE leagues, but I did here. You don't see any actual objectives; you cannot farm the content you like; you cannot make meaningful crafting investments (not just gambling). Maybe after you get to tier 15 it becomes fun, OK, maybe, IDK, did not try.

Then I can rephrase that map progression is not fun and does not feel like progression at all? Like I said, around this time in PoE you could fight Black Star, you could fight Endless Hunger, you could consistently fight content you prefer. In PoE 2 you have none of that.

And why is this a problem for Path of Exile 1 Feedback?

I created this all the way back in December and this forum section was just called Feedback so that seemed like an appropriate place to go.
