Ground loot in non-temple maps isn‘t worth it

As the title says I‘m kind of disappointed. Played 400h and maybe found 40 divs in total as ground loot from playing juiced maps (135% rarity currently).

Whereas maxed out temples give hundreds of divs per run. And I enjoy seeing that building a maxed out temple gets rewarded so much, as it is very time consuming and hard.

But running maps feels just stupid in comparison.

How do you guys feel about this?

Temple loot getting nuked from orbit next patch. End game reworked likely. It'll all get turned upside down.

Agreed.

Making ground loot compelling has been an issue since 0.1, but it's been exacerbated by Temple printing infinite currency this league.

Even juicing mechanics like Abyss and doing crazy Omen of Light farming, you can't reliably compete with an end game temple.

I enjoyed this league, but I'm very much looking forward to 0.5 and beyond.

Yeah ground loot just feels bad outside temple. If you're not min maxing every aspect then you basically get nothing for your time. Rares don't feel rewarding at all unless they are abyss rares

It's true I kinda feel dumb running a juiced t15/16/17

Why am I bothering when I can hop into a temple leech and get more: exp, gold, raw currency, crafting bases and get a 20+ div payout at the end?

Would love if they let us scale maps like temple. Like temple goes to lvl 84 or something? Meanwhile maps require so much setup and even then maxed out at 82. Like I understand 100 is an aspirational goal, but I'd love if they did away with the whole poe1 limitations and let us scale up more waystone tiers or add even more modifiers. Like even temple for all it's setup and restraints baked in, still has a goal for you to build up stronger builds that can carry even into the 6 man level of difficulty. On a side note, they really need to do away with 6 man group bonuses. Idk why the hell in a arpg that such bs bonuses exist for the people with pcs that can handle the amount of server lag and latency issues that multiple players bring especially with all the screen clutter builds that endgame prioritizes currently. Anyways that's my soapbox, hopefully 0.5 is the messiah patch GGG is making it out to be. I LOVE 0.4 but yeah I'm part of the camp that they should balance this game like a Early Access and be aggressive with the changes. Especially this league where respec costs are abysmally low with the people pumping enough gold to hit the in-game gold cap.

We are two months in the league, of course ground loot will be bad because the best gear is crafted gear. On the start of the league almost all of my gear came from ground loot. I even made reddit post on amulet is picked up from the ground and crafted for my needs. I was comfortable with all content of the game two weeks in a league without spending much on equipment.
