As a newer player should I play SSF since I can’t get anyone to respond to my trades?

It’s been incredibly frustrating trying to play poe 2. I tried poe 1 and didn’t really like it so wanted to play poe 2. Since the items I want are not expensive, no one responds to any of my trade requests. The only time anyone responded they then tried haggling me saying it is actually a divine and not chaos. Is it always this hard to get people to respond to trade or is it because it’s so late into the league? It’s really disheartening, maybe I should just wait until next season to play or only do SSF. Is there a small window trade is active like in Last Epoch market?

Level 45 Warrior with zero Evasion and zero Block??

My warrior is incredibly squishy in some cases and not others. I have 60% Armor and 0% Evasion and 0% block. I have a 2 handed mace and an offhand shield and another offhand mace (which I never use and have no clue what to do instead with that slot). My Evasion Rating is 211. I've checked my gear, and nothing is converting evasion nor block. I don't see Acrobatics anywhere in my skill tree. WTF? Note, I did see this post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1ha8e0b/dumb\_person\_here\_why\_is\_my\_evade\_0\_i\_believe\_i/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1ha8e0b/dumb_person_here_why_is_my_evade_0_i_believe_i/)

The problem with "Large Endgame Maps just need more content".

What content is this going to be? Is it going to be random content? If so, I don't see how this is a Solution, because players specifically want to target farm their chosen League Mechanics, so adding additional random content, which you don't have Atlas bonuses for, is not going to be anymore desirable. The only way I see this working, is if your League Mechanic scales with the size of the map. E.g. You're trying to farm Expedition, and larger maps contain 2 or 3 Expeditions, compared to just 1 Expedition for the smallest of Maps. Maybe 3 categories of Maps: Small = 1 x League Mechanics Medium = 2 x League Mechanics Large = 3x League Mechanics The other obvious downside to bigger maps, with the new Atlas design, is that smaller maps are always going to be preferred to maximise progression speed. Or something simple like getting to a Unique map in the distance, if that's your goal then it's always preferrable to go through 3 small maps than 3 large ones. I feel like the Atlas design, where you have little choice in the maps you complete compared to PoE 1, is at some point a deliberate attempt to make this less of a concern, where in PoE 1 you're fundamentally trying to farm the same map over and over. But PoE 2 hasn't even come close to solving this problem yet, and it's current design makes the Endgame much less enjoyable than in PoE 1.

Look I found us.

Ryslathas Coil and deepest tower

Does more and less damage from Ryslatha coil get affected by lucky from passive stars aligned?

Did they change the droprates?

I remember in 0.1 I was in maps with my (I think) 2nd character when my first Divine dropped. In 0.2 however, first character, lvl 39, act 3 normal and exalts still in single digit, I already got my first div in Jiq sanctum. Is this normal or did I just spend my luck for the next few hundred hours?
