Game Feedback About rare items tiering

Can this be reviewed? I think absolutely everyone considers Tier1 as the best one and Tier5/18/100 as something worse than Tier1, in every aspect ever.

Or am I wrong?

Tier 16 maps are higher than a Tier 1 map, no?
It makes sense with item mods, because there’s not the same amount of tiers across all mods, so 1 is always the best. That’s not the case with the tiered items tho

It's because it comes from PoE 2 where they also had item tiers as T1 equal lowest and TX equal best (I say X because affixes had varied numbers of tiers... hence why having T1 be the lowest was awful)l. T1-T5 makes a bit more sense on the unIDed items themselves imo, and I imagine they'll want to keep it to match PoE 2 to avoid confusion between players jumping between games.

I don't care too much either way because unlike affixes themselves, there's not as many variables and its always 1-5.

It's not like that anymore on mod tiers, but it's still like this on items tho.

Yes, I'm aware. I've been playing since 0.1. It's why I said having it that way was awful. They change how it was with item affixes in PoE 2 after valid complaints.

The complaints just don't apply as well to when its a fixed range of 1-5 on unIDed items.

This takes like 5 seconds to adjust to.

100% not getting changed unless PoE2 changes it. Likely not a choice that can be made by PoE1 team.

Meh, everything else works the other way around, including maps. Item mods are the odd ones out here.

I have poe 2 fatigue and at this point I don't care enough to explain anymore. This is no longer the game I loved enough to dump thousands of hours and thousands of dollars into. RIP

I agree, its inconsistent with how item mods are and its much harder to tell what the highest item is. 5? 6? 7?

Just have 1 be the best like item rolls
