Currency like divines and chaos have fluctuating values based on supply and demand, with certain types having a greater impact. The popular narrative of currency value increase being driven by player actions is actually contradicted by macroeconomic perspectives. The press release from the game developers about banning players for currency generation appears to be a PR move, raising questions about its impact on the game's economy.

The lack of clear policies and the need for a fair and proportional response to the exploit have been highlighted in the decision-making process.

### In-Game Responsibility and Policy-Making at GGG
Players should be able to focus on strengthening themselves in the game without constantly worrying about the developers' approval.

The inconsistent handling of in-game actions and currency across different leagues raises concerns about GGG's stance on these matters.

### The Significance of Currency in Path of Exile
In Path of Exile, having infinite currency means infinite opportunities for gameplay. The game offers the freedom to make currency, build strong characters, gamble, make builds, and craft items.

PoE 3.25 Exploit Abuse: Banned Players and Stabilized Currency Market

Players exploiting map manipulation to farm divines, causing market instability, leading to bans and price stabilization in Path of Exile.

### The Impact of the Recent In-Game Exploit in "Crazy Day"
Players have been exploiting a loophole to make divination cards drop in unintended maps, resulting in massive in-game currency gains. The exploit involved using a specific map to lock the dropping of certain high-value cards, allowing players to amass wealth. The individuals involved in this strategy have been banned, as it was considered an abuse of unintended game mechanics.

### Impact of Banning Divines on the Market
The banning of players using an exploit led to a removal of their looted items, causing a temporary spike in the price of Mage blood, but the market is now stabilizing. The influx of divines from the exploit had led to a surge in Mage blood prices, but they have since decreased after the exploit was addressed. A player also had a successful sanctum run, choosing a path that guaranteed two divines, amidst the market turmoil.

### Unexpected Success in Acquiring Divines
The speaker unexpectedly obtained six divines during a run, despite the inability to see clearly, resulting in a significant financial gain. By leveling and double corrupting Penance brands, they were able to make a profit and acquire a 21/20 quality, which is currently in high demand. The speaker plans to continue running sanctums to obtain Mage blood for their build, indicating a successful and profitable strategy.

### Review of a Hex Blast Minor Assassin Build
The player is not a fan of the hex blast playstyle, despite the character's high damage output. They prefer their own build for its ease of play and speed, especially in running high-level content. The use of Penance Brand of Dissipation allows for long-lasting damage over time, making boss fights easy, while also utilizing high cast speed for quick movement through challenging areas.

### Recommendation for Running Sanctum: Try the Lightning Warp Build
Using Flame Dash for running Sanctum can be frustrating due to its cooldown, while Lightning Warp allows continuous movement without any cooldown, making it perfect for the task.
The Lightning Warp build is highly recommended for running Sanctum, as it has been profitable and enjoyable for the player, who plans to continue farming until the next update.
The player aims to obtain a Mage Blood and will post the next update once that goal is achieved, expressing gratitude to the audience for watching.

### Path of Exile: Currency Exploit Impact and Sanctum Farming Strategy
* 💰  A significant exploit was discovered where players could manipulate map drops to **farm divination cards from higher-tier maps in low-tier maps**, resulting in **thousands of divines per hour**.
* 🛑  The exploit was quickly addressed by Grinding Gear Games (GGG), with **affected accounts banned** and **exploited items removed** from the game.
* 💹  The exploit caused a temporary market disruption, particularly affecting the price of Mageblood, which spiked to **250 divines** before stabilizing back to around **180 divines**.
* 🏃‍♂️  The content creator had a lucrative Sanctum run, obtaining **6 divines in a blind run**, bringing the total to **over 60 divines farmed that day**.
* 🔄  The player made a significant upgrade to their gear by crafting a **21/20 quality Penance Brand of Dissipation**, which greatly increased the **value of their character**.
* 🎮  The content creator recommended their **Penance Brand of Dissipation build** for running Sanctum efficiently, highlighting its **ease of use and speed** compared to other popular builds.
* 📈  The player planned to continue farming Sanctum until they could afford a Mageblood, with the next update likely to focus on their **progress towards that goal**.
* 👍  The video ended with a **thank you message to viewers** and a promise of **more content in the future**.
