Is Trade League OK? How The POE 2 Economy Broke - 0.4.0 Path of Exile 2

#poe2 #pathofexile2 #patchnotes

Ten days ago GGG overbuffed the Temple. It took players a while to 'solve' the mechanic, but with hundreds of players looting (literally) thousands of divines each without doing anything that crosses the line into cheating... what now?

0:00 Intro - I Called 0.4.0c A Gigabuff. I Underestimated It... It Was Much More.
0:53 A Complex Mechanic Takes A While To Solve. We Underestimated Spymaster Rooms & Didn't See How Good They Were For Ages
1:23 What Does A Broken Economy Really Mean? 'Drop Everywhere' loot is devalued, boss-exclusive loot inflates
1:52 The Emergency Patch - Holten Shenanigans Halted, Non-Holten Strats Improved, Just Makes Setting Up A Minmaxxed Temple More Fun But Slower
4:04 Evidence The League Economy Has Had Hyperinflation - Fracturing Orbs...
5:22 and more of it. Top Omens, top boss only Lineage Supports, boss access tokens, top Abyss crafting tools and more
7:07 How much does the hotfix change? Not much really, inflation is now locked in
7:39 How To Get Loot Now That 'Drop Anywhere Loot' Is Devalued
8:06 Exalted Orb to Divine Orb Ratio - this isn't due to the last couple days, it's normal, and honestly might have been faster without the temple shenanigans. Chaos orbs might be down because of temple though.
9:57 So - can a broken economy be fun? Most players like participating truly in a broken league economy... exactly once. Example - POE1 Affliction league or (my first broken economy there) the earlier Darkshrine event.
12:03 This has been an unintentional limit test, and final words. Have a great New Year all!
