I actually love PoE's inventory management, but I play the game "wrong." I hardly ever trade, except to grab a cheap unique here or there that enables a build. I pick up and manually ID all the items that could be useful, even knowing that there's only like a 1/10,000 chance that they actually are. I pick up all currency, even portal scrolls. I clear maps at a pace that might be described as "puttering." And typically I RIP early in maps and start the league over, so most of my playtime is in the story, where successive characters can pick through my stash for junk my old character was hoarding for no reason, that might now have some use for levelling a different build.

It's probably my favorite ARPG.

man I'm glad that works for you but that sounds awful to me. I would make so many more alts in poe if it weren't for the torturously boring and needlessly long campaign.
