What I really like about PoE is that there are no items

I've messaged about 100 people trying to buy chromas for chaos and not a single reply if thats the kind of trouble you talk about poe currency.

Fed up of going onto the trade website and finding players refuse to sell to you??? Set up your own shop, and before long, they'll be refusing to buy from you too!

Exactly what I did as well, and I'll just +1 that the official is just straight up better when you get used to it. If you're on the fence on whether it's worth getting used to the official one over poe.trade then all I can say is that it's 100% worth it.

I think he means like searching for specific item bases not base types. So not body armour, but vaal regalia for example. You can do this on the official by just typing vaal regalia into the search bar though, which differs from how poe.trade handles it.

I did the exact same thing. It took a little Bit to work out how to find the “base item type” say if I was looking for a rustic sash, I had no idea I had to type it into the large search field. But after that little hiccup the official site feels so much better!

At first it felt clunky but I like it a lot more. The main reason I like it is because poe trade seems to constantly auto refresh and I notice performance differences because of it when I keep it open. The main sites trade page seems to only refresh when I ask it to so I can leave it open all the time without worrying about it.

On the top of the right side of the right column, there's an edit button icon. (Action role playing game)Select that to change it to something other than the standard AND option. If you want to search for some mods and not have others, then you'll want to look below the '+Add Stat Filter' menu and select the '+Add Stat Group'. Then select NOT from the available options.

Click the pencil to the right just above a group of mods and you can change between count, and, not and a couple others, also if you press add stat group it defaults to select which in the next group. Always has been, I don't know how many PoE people knew about him when he was streaming D3 but this didn't come as a surprise. He would steal people's builds and claim them as his own, he'd talk shit about others and just generally be obnoxious as a person.

While that's true now, there was several seasons when completely new builds emerged as major set changes came. Also it's not just copying from the PTR leaderboards, a lot of builds got posted on diablofans, discords and subreddits. The other content creators would at least give credit to the first person that posted it or pushed with it on the PTR, or if they were informed would happily edit their description at least to link to that, etc.

Quin explicitly claimed Monk builds as his creation when someone else had already posted about it. And when people called him out for doing it he denied it and slammed them. This was several seasons back now since only regulars like Rhykker and Bluddshed remain now. Still pretty bad form is all. Every league was just "Oh they nerfed the fuck out of the old set and made a new 6 piece set that gives you 40000% more damage for this visual clusterfuck of a skill that you cant actually run teams with.

They'd just buff one skill and make one set revolve around it. So while there might be some balance between the sets now, it's basically still only 2-3 playstyles per class and deviation from it outside of like a minor change in utility skills or passives was not possible. And eventually one build emerged with a combination of legendaries and skill choices that was just superior. What I really like about PoE is that there are no items that just buff a single skill. You can play any skills or playstyle you want and do all the content, it might not be a meta build but so far you can really build anything you want if you put the right passives, support gems and items.
