Abyss nerf is unwarranted and shouldn't be "fixed" until next league

I could write an essay on how this kind of things shouldn't be happening especially 4 days into the league, but nobody will want to read it and Mark wouldn't even bother to read because he just doesn't like to read a wall of texts.

TLDR is, do a better job in QA to identify this kind of issue and deal with it within hours of league release. If you can't, then don't change it until next league. This is a game where trading / economy system plays a major role as the game design, players that already benefitted from this bugged interaction have more resources than those who are not. And for those who haven't able to interact with it, will not be able to catch up with those who already did it.

This kind of stupid change also happened in PoE 1 Secret of Atlas expac with orginator map. Players that already farmed "bugged" originator map or farming the "bugged" map got massive advantage than those who are not.

If Chris Wilson was still on the helm, this kind of changes won't be happening ever in the middle of the league (unless a massive exploit happened like in setters league, which is fixed within hours, but temporalis dupe in PoE 2 fixed in a week because muh xmas holiday).

Mark and Jonathan are not fit to oversee the game and make the final decision, they are more fit to be technical / mechanical director. Also, try to play and test the game without command-console. Test and play it with in the same pace like other players in trade league. Tell your QA team to also do that, because they clearly spawned in with pre-built character in Druid endgame showcase video. If they didn't then this abyss "fix", logically shouldn't be existed at all.

Also "bUT tHiS EaRlY AcCEsS.... uHhHH uUhHH"

Exact-fckingly. Stop treating the game like a live server and start rolling-back server when changing something that clearly will impact the economy. And if this is a "bug" , then ban everyone that farm the abyss in the endgame with the node allocated while making all their assets frozen for idk, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month or just delete them.

wah wah wah

What currency nerf? I'm not showing any specific currency nerf in the patch notes.

There was a bug that people found a way to take advantage of spawning an absolute TON of rare monsters, and I do mean that literally, resulting in absurd currency drops.

"Fixed a bug where the additional Rare Monsters are spawned from Abysses in Map modifier on Tablets was applying to each pit when combined with the Sprawling Rapture Atlas Passive Skill."

does OP know that he bought into beta testing an unfinished game

Did you read the op post? ggg kept doing this on poe1 which isn't "unfinished beta early blah blah blah"
Op is arguing about the unfairness between players that exploited something and those who wasn't able to exploit it.
In my opinion if ggg want to fix those exploits they should give some kind of penalty to the ones that used these exploits, if they can't do that for any reason then leave that exploit alone until league end and the economy resets.

I don't think that early access is a valid excuse because they are charging the same prices they charge on their officially released game.
If GGG is charging the same price, why is it suddenly unacceptable for customers to expect the same level of satisfaction just because one product is labeled “beta”? And don't forget we are paying to be "TESTERS"... if i am not wrong, testers normally get some sort of payment or reward to do their job and don't pay to do so.

Of course he knows.

What YOU don't know, by being authentic instead of mocking others.

An error like that at the beginning of a league is a total disaster. If you produce something and sell it for testing, it has to be 99% perfect. An error like that shouldn't happen, because if you change the mechanics, it must be tested in every way. Otherwise, someone like you will come along and say that.

Toyota already produced a model with a transmission defect; they recalled all the cars from the market. What should have been done was to ban everyone who used that bug, to serve as an example.

It doesn't matter if it's early access or not. If it's for sale, it has to be free of flaws like that.

Back to you...
Have more respect for other people's time.

That wasn't a bug with the abyss currency, that was an unintended interaction between the abyss tree and the map modifier. I'd bet you can still get just as much currency but you need to spend more on juicing.

All I hear from you and OP is you're salty you didn't get to abuse it. They should leave all bugs in the game eh?
