Ask a Path of Exile 2 player about the in-game economy a few months ago and you're guaranteed to hear a lot of complaints about a currency farming strategy involving a temple. The loot was simply too good in the action RPG's newest activity and anyone who skipped it was completely priced out of buying gear for their characters.
Even though developer Grinding Gear Games issued a list of nerfs to the mechanic for the newest league, or season, it wasn't enough to stop clever players from figuring out how to make bank with temples once again. But after just a few hours of people exploiting them, the studio dropped in with heavy nerfs to its output.
