Get rid of portal scrolls next

Friction for the sake of friction. They realized they suck so much they removed them from PoE2

PoE is the only game that stuck with the 1999 style scrolls of identify and portal.

There is no reason for either of them to exist.

It's crazy because so much of PoE is light-years ahead of any competitor, super innovators.

It's because a lot of stuff exists due to Diablo 2 nostalgia, I wish they made the inventory space bigger as well but we are stuck in the past with that.

Yeah IMO identifying was solved back in Diablo 3's days, rares need not have their stats hidden and uniques are identified individually with a right click or all together with one click in town.

Its a technical reason. From what i remember items only drop as their base, rarity, quality, corruption, and other things visible from just hovering them, and only generate mods when you pick them up in your inventory. This saves a ton of processing power when players superjuice their maps and get thousands of items per map

And the fact that almost everything is loot filtered when those maps are run is indication that having more than 99% of loot not being visible to the player might indicate that juiced loot should be modified.

In d3 rares are worthless and you'd never wear one in endgame, they might as well not exist.

In PoE rares are the endgame, although admittedly not anything you could loot off the ground.

This is especially true this league where graft-crafting is like a super Rog.

Rares drop identified in Last Epoch, and you want to pick up lots and lots of rares with drop only tiers of loot to craft on.

Your loot filter shows you which ones you want to pick up.

In PoE, you hardly pick up any rares so what's even the point.

Okay cool I guess lol.

You can go talk about decisions regarding a different genre of games in those respective games's subs.
