My Suggestion On Mob Density In Path Of Exile

In Path of Exile, GGG seems to have balanced mob density in the current game around a few things:

1. Having league mechanics that add a lot of extra mobs, like Breach and Abyss.

2. Collectors of poe orbs reaching level 100 in times that were too fast to be deemed acceptable.



3. Players continuously running the same, linear maps and shaping their atlas to only run them.

I'm sure there are several more factors that led us to where we are in the current league in regards to mob density, but these ones stick out to me. With no additional mob mechanic, it feels much worse than we've grown accustomed to, and I think the alchemy/map issue is a result of us returning to the standard game with nerfed mob density.

I think GGG needs to drastically increase beast spawnrates as well as increase mob density to somewhat compensate for the lack of additional mob mechanic. There is a recurring theme to the leagues that people consistently rank as their favorites - more monsters to kill. I believe these simple changes would do absolute wonders in addition to the 3.2.1 patch.

One player said that mobs density feels pretty good in general to him. The gutted maps still feel bad (strand, atoll) but there are ton of maps now with good or great density, and a few with insane density (estuary, the sewers maps, haunted mansion etc).

And one player said that some maps have really great density so he don't think they should buff those much but they overnerfed the good/open layouts to the point where a strand map will barely have 400 mobs and a toxic sewers something like 800 in comparison, since maps are a bit harder to sustain because of less packs/maps cause no league mechanics running open maps feels unrewarding in his experience.

What do you guys think?
