You forgot greater essences :D At least I am speccing in them and in 6 days of character playtime I dropped 1 :D Not SSF tho. But still - does this sounds normal? Nah, needs tinkering with drop rates. For SSF those drops are insane.
Yeah. Dropped 1 too, and it’s with life modifier that I’m never gonna use.

TLDR: ggg always balances around trade league, get used to horrible drop rates in ssf
Here’s to hoping GGG will learn from their mistakes. There’s still enough time to turn things around, it being early access and all.

I wish gear progressed with mob/character level. It makes 0 sense to me that a level 10 item has better stats then a level 60 item, which is the case for uniques, or at least some of them.
Normal gear doesn't seem to scale well either. I was walking around in end game maps with a bow I got at the start of act 3 (6). And in normal act 2, we didn't get any upgrades gear wise through the whole act, except for gambling at the start of it.
One way to fix this would be to have the min max range shift up when you/mobs are higher level. That way a level 80 bow can still be perfectly valid at level 100, but you do have a shot at a better bow at level 100.
For the record, I absolutely HATE trading, so I won't.
I PLAY the game to level up my characters and gear, that's where the fun is for me.
I don't buy/trade gear so I can play the game... that is the horse behind the wagon for me. That kinda thinking means, just buy all the best gear, and now you're done. So why am I playing then?
I wish there was a server with much better gear drop rate, and trading disabled.
The only trading there should be, is allowing for gear to be moved around in a group that had the loot drop, for example either by having it tradable in group for an hour, or by assigning the loot to the people in the group, and have it be tradable among only those people.

I haven’t received a single Divine Orb during my entire time playing PoE2, but I have gotten several Exiled Orbs. Does this item even exist? PoE2 promotes its crafting system, but I’ve barely seen any significant drops, and I’m already level 79 in the endgame.

Level 85 SSF merc here. Still using a lvl 59 crossbow (vengeance core bombard). I'm running 126 rarity in a build I affectionally call Gemling Magicfiner. Had to cut some corner to fit it in but I have seen a few higher end jewelers (I have two five socket gems) but have not dropped a single divine yet. I can get 2-5 exalts per map. Vaals are common. My gear is okay. Nothing like trade league though. Lately I've been running juiced T10-11s just "lookin for stuff" and searching for citadels. Doing anything "dangerous", "risky", or "fun" only happens when i'm 20% into a new level because of the death penalty.
People can say "oh, leave SSF alone, don't make it too easy", but they are making alts doing the campaign over and over and not really pushing anything :p

Yeah, I don’t want it easy, I want it challenging and rewarding. They only got the first part right.

…Of every progression system in this game being heavily weighted against players playing it without overgearing via trade. Just some personal stats to illustrate it:
1. Never dropped a single Perfect Jeweler’s Orb, and only got 3 greaters. But at the same time, I have 40 lessers still remaining.
2. Dropped a single Orb of Nullification
3. Dropped 3 Divine orbs in total.
4. Dropped 5 omens in total. Haven’t even started seeing any of these before I started doing T14 ritual maps
5. Never dropped, bought, or crafted a single weapon with higher than tier 6 physical attack mod. Average would probably be T2
6. Never even seen anything above Tier 2 drop until I started stacking +100% item rarity via gear.
7. Failed every single of my Chance orbs. Probably close to 10 so far.
8. Clearing T10-T12 maps gives me a whooping 0.5%-3% of exp. One death to lose 10%.
9. Had just one weapon with all the prefixes and suffixes I wanted, but most of them T2. Guess what, Vaal didn’t help it.
10. Spent millions of gold on gambling for gear on an NPC daily. Nothing to show for it.
11. Quantity of drops is not the issue. I ported to town 3-4 times to unload all the rares I drop when I still cared. I keep maybe 1 in 50, since the rest is just regal shard fodder.
12. Never got my final set of ascendancy points. Even with min lvl coin, 100% honor resistance, +100% defence via relics, maxed out resistances, an entire warehouse of boons from the merchant and I still just died in a second after the last boss went “random bullshit go” mode.
I could go on. But you get the point. Progression isn’t great unless you’re already overgeared. Because for whatever reason a lot of the ‘good’ stuff like omens that are supposed to make crafting more predictable don’t start dropping until you’re already grinding the highest tier maps. Most still remain myths I’ve only heard of in the trade league.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m well aware a lot of this comes down to my choice of playing in SSF. But I do so not because I’m into BDSM, but because I want to overcome the challenges myself. But when instead of providing rewarding drop and deterministic crafting outcomes you just slap that gacha machine on the back and smile, I gotta say. GGG. This. Is. Not. Okay.
Just my 2 cents before I go hibernate before I return to the unrewarding grind tomorrow…
Honestly i feel the same way. Lvl 88 stomweaver and i can't progress anymore. it's a total RNG game and its becoming a pay to win game. If I had known earlier I wouldn't have purchased early access. not everyone has the time to waste
