Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2

Just straight up copy this from last epoch: Get rid of unidentified items
It's a horrible mechanic that was invented decades ago, it serves no purpose in a modern gaming environment AKA bad game design. Drops should have modifiers already visible and you should let item filters use modifiers as conditions to decide if you wanna see a piece of gear or not. There is no argument that ANYONE can give me right now to convince why having unidentified items is a good thing. Some people tell me it's due to some marketplace BS, well, if you wanna sell good items on the marketplace, then maybe your item filter could show you good items for other builds as well, and then you can sell them on the mp. In general, taking items, identifying them, and then realizing you don't wanna any of the crap you just picked up is HORRIBLE game design, specially in a SSF environment.

It was great game design for Diablo. In any other game, it's just a cheap rip-off meant to steal more of your time.

Is that your argument? Something cannot change because something else offers it? You may wanna check ur brain 'cause it seems damaged if you think that's a counter-argument.
